Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Mounting: Locate a suitable wall to mount the reel. Ensure the wall is strong enough to bear the weight when full of water. Use the provided wall bracket and fixings to secure the reel. Ensure the tap is in close proximity to the mounting location, or use a longer feeder hose (not included) to reach a distant tap.
- Connections: Connect the feeder hose to your outside tap. Then, connect the hose to the reel and your chosen sprayer/nozzle.
- Operation: Pull the hose out to the desired length. It will lock automatically. To rewind, give the hose a slight tug to release the lock, and the automatic rewind system will take over.
Compatibility
The Hozelock Auto Rewind Hose Reel is designed for use with standard garden taps and hoses. Ensure that the fittings are compatible with your existing accessories. Use the included connectors to attach the hose to your tap and the spray nozzle.
Care
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior of the reel with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
- Storage: In winter, detach the reel from the wall bracket and store it in a sheltered location to protect it from frost and extreme temperatures.
- Maintenance: Occasionally check the hose for any signs of wear and tear. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
