Prevent kinks and hose jumping
When Spooling Out
When spooling the Quick-test hose out to your test area, if you are only going to spool out a portion of the hose on the reel, try applying the tension brake. The tension from the brake will prevent the remainder of the hose still on the reel from expanding due to "muscle memory".
When Reeling In
Reeling in while carrying the Hose Reel back from the transmitter.
Confirm that the locking pin is disengaged. Use one hand to hold the top handle of the Hose Reel, and one to turn the crank handle while you slowly walk and reel-in.
Maintain tension on the hose so that it's not twisted or slack as you reel it in.
Reeling in while the Hose Reel is mounted.
Use one hand to turn the crank handle slowly. Use your other hand to maintain tension on the hose and feed it onto the reel.
During storage and transport
Each time you stow and transport your Hose Reel, reel the hose in as tightly as you can to the Hose Reel and engage the locking pin. This will prevent the hose from uncoiling due to muscle memory and road vibrations during transport.
