How To Adjust the Spring Tension of A Hose Reel

In this video, our technical advisor Naitik shows you how to adjust the spring tension of your single or double arm compressed air hose reel. The process is very simple and requires almost no tools.

⚠ATTENTION: Before making adjustments disconnect or isolate your hose reel from the compressed air system and remove any residual pressure from the hose. Wearing protective eyewear is highly recommended.⚠

The tension of the spring on a reel is normally adjusted at the factory.
However, over time, the spring loses its tension or accumulates too much tension.
Too much tension can cause premature wear of the reel or even breakage, while too little tension can prevent the hose from being held in the reel when not in use.
