Troubleshooting

Hose does not retract smoothly

Check for any kinks or obstructions in the hose. Ensure the reel is mounted correctly and not under strain. Inspect the hose path for any sharp edges.

Hose does not lock at desired length

Ensure the hose is pulled out far enough for the latching mechanism to engage. Clean any debris from the latching mechanism area.

Low air pressure at the tool

Verify the working pressure from the air compressor is set correctly (8 bar max). Check for leaks in the inlet hose, connections, or the quick connector. Ensure the hose is not blocked internally.

Hose reel leaks air

Inspect all connections, especially the inlet hose and the quick connector, for tightness. Check the hose itself for any tears or punctures.
