the hand crank and the other is the brake.
a.
Hose Reel Crank. The hand crank (1, figure 2-6) for the hose reel is stored on the side of the hose reel
frame when not in use. To rewind the hose, the operator slides the crank onto the chain drive sprocket shaft and turns
the shaft clockwise. The hand crank is not used when unwinding the hoses from the reel.
b.
Hose Reel Brake. The brake (2, figure 2-6) has an adjusting knob which applies pressure through a spring to
a brake disc in contact with the sprocket drive shaft. Tension on the brake is increased by turning the knob clockwise.
The brake should be tensioned sufficiently to hold the hose reel against the weight of the stored hose to prevent
unwinding. Excess tension will result in rapid wear of the brake disc and difficult unspooling of the hoses.
A 2-10. REMOTE HOSE REEL.
The remote hose reel (figure 2-7) has no controls other than the hand crank (1) and brake (2) which are identical to the
stationary hose reel. See paragraph 2-9 above. The remote hose reel is mounted on a two-wheeled cart and has a
push-pull handle for maneuvering the hose reel in event of fire.
a.
Twin Agent Nozzle. The remote hose reel is equipped with a twin-agent nozzle (3, figure 2-7) of the same
type used on the extinguisher. It is attached to the twin-line hose, ready for use, and anchored to the hose reel frame
with a mounting bracket.
b.
Quick-Disconnected Fittings. The quick-disconnects (4, figure 2-7) are located at the rear of the remote hose
reel. The fittings are oriented to prevent wrong connection of the hoses.
