Rolling hose in and out
This reel system has been equipped with a special stop-when-you-like system. Pull the hose
to the desired length: when you stop pulling, the hose will lock automatically. A sharp pull on the
hose will then trigger the Automatic-Return-System to roll the hose up automatically. You can
interrupt this by pulling on the hose once again. When rolling the hose in, keep the spray head
in one hand (so that it cannot flail around) and guide the hose with your other hand. The SL20
Cube also has a Safe-Return-System which rolls up the hose more slowly (and more safely).
If the hose is beginning to kink, pull the entire length out of the housing, remove the kinks and
allow the hose to smoothly roll back into the reel.
Operation
Connect the water supply hose to the tap. If you now open the tap, water will flow to the nozzle
and you can start spraying. Ensure that the nozzle is open! You can regulate the flow by
twisting the nozzle.
If desired, you can attach a different nozzle or an extra length of hose to the quick-coupling
between the hose and the nozzle. Lengthening the hose does result in a drop in pressure!
Close the tap after every use and then open the nozzle for a short time in order to release the
water pressure.
Attention!
Do not feed chemicals or solids through the hose and do not allow the exterior to come into
contact with corrosive substances or sharp objects that could damage it.
After use, always allow the water to flow out of the hose and roll the hose onto the reel.
Water that is heated by the sun and/or high water pressure can damage the interior of the
hose.
The hose becomes less flexible at very low temperatures. Ensure that no water remains in
the hose that can freeze. Bring the reel indoors in cold weather!
This hose reel is not suitable for the transport of drinking water!
