INSTALLATION and MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS  
UH18 UNIVERSAL HOSE REEL-DIRECT DRIVE  
NOTE: These instructions are written for machine pull reels.  
If installing or servicing hand pull reel, use only those steps marked with hand  
.
All units are provided with right hand rotation unless otherwise  
specified. This means that hose is pulled off spool top left or  
bottom right (spool rotates clockwise to wind hose) when  
viewing spring end of reel. See diagram on parts page.  
WARNING  
Some reels with large or multiple springs are equipped with  
a ratcheted adjustment wrench. Follow separate instruc-  
tions for its use. Failure to use ratcheted wrench, on reels  
so equipped, could result in serious personal injury.  
Clock-type springs provide power for automatic hose take-up.  
Spring must be pretensioned at time of installation to  
insure that tension is applied to hose at all times. A tension  
adjustment spanner wrench is provided with each reel.

tightness.  
B. Check for broken springs  
by pulling about 2/3 hose off  
reel and observing “Broken  
Spring Indicators” on sides of  
spring canisters (Fig. 3).  
WARNING  
If machine pull reel, move machinery to position closest  
to reel before adjusting spring tension.

1. Install hose if reel was purchased without hose. See  
instructions on page 4.  
NOTE: Bearings and springs are prelubricated and require no  
periodic maintenance.  
2. Insure that machinery to be serviced by reel is at  
position closest to reel.  
2. Securely mount reel in desired position using 1/2"(M12).  
WARNING  
Be sure spool is aligned with hose run.  
Do not attempt to remove spring from its housing. Clock-  
type springs can be dangerous to handle. Removal of  
spring from housing could result in personal injury.  
3. Position hose guide if supplied so hose pays-out as  
straight as possible through hose guide.  
4. Connect free end of hose to connections on machine or  
adjust hose stop so that desired length of hose extends from reel.  
SPRING REPLACEMENT  
The unique SAFETYCHANGE® spring motor consists of a  
spring and hub sealed within a housing. A replacement spring  
is supplied sealed in its housing and the old unit should be  
discarded completely.  
5. Connect flexible supply lines to swivel fitting. See HOSE  
INSTALLATION REFERENCE DRAWING.  
NOTE: Do not hard plumb to swivel fitting.  
6. Remove cover plate on spring housing to expose

shaft and spring hub. (See Figure 1).  
2. Insure that machinery to be serviced by reel is at  
position closest to reel. Disconnect hose from  
machine connections.  
7. Insert spanner wrench into holes in spring hub (Fig 2).  
Rotate spanner wrench counter-clockwise. Number of  
360˚ turns should match last digit in model number on  
serial plate.  
3. Wind all hose onto reel to relieve all spring tension.

COVER  
PLATE  
Shaft should rotate clockwise and hub (with  
spring attached) should remain stationary.  
NOTE: Do not attempt to remove spring if resistance is  
met or hub tends to rotate with shaft. Continue to rotate  
spool and strike end of shaft several sharp blows with a lead  
hammer or rubber mallet until shaft rotates freely  
and hub remains stationary.

6. Remove (4) bolts which secure spring motor to frame.  
CAUTION  
Do not exceed number of turns indicated on serial plate.  
Over-tensioning can cause a broken spring, sheared  
shaft or other damage.  
7. Slide spring motor off shaft and discard.  
8. Install replacement spring motor, pawls and pawl springs.  
NOTE: Pawl springs must be located between the pawls  
and the deepest section of the shaft grooves.  
Make sure that pawls and pawl springs are inserted flush  
with ends of shaft and hub or they may rub against  
inspection cover. See Fig 4, page 4.  
WARNING  
Do not attempt to relieve spring tension using spanner  
wrench. Doing so may result in personal injury.

or adjust hose stop so that desired length of hose  
extends from reel.  
1. Unspool new hose from shipping spool and lay out to  
eliminate twist.  
11. Tension spring with spanner wrench. Refer to  
NOTE: This step is not essential, but will aid in winding  
operation of the reel and prolong hose life.  
INSTALLATION section.  
12. Replace inspection cover.
