5.1 Forlængelse af slangen

To extend the hose, simply pull the hose gently to the desired length. The internal locking mechanism will engage automatically, holding the hose in place. You will hear a clicking sound as the hose extends and locks.

5.2 Indtrækning af slangen

To retract the hose, give it a short, firm tug. This will disengage the locking mechanism, and the hose will automatically and smoothly rewind into the reel. Guide the hose as it retracts to ensure it winds evenly and to prevent it from whipping.

5.3 Swivel Functionality

The hose reel is designed to swivel 180 degrees on its wall mount. This allows you to direct the hose in various directions, providing access to different areas of your yard, garden, deck, or patio without repositioning the reel.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Vinteropbevaring: Before the first frost, disconnect the leader hose from the spigot and drain all water from both the leader hose and the main garden hose. Use the built-in handles to easily lift the hose reel off its wall bracket and store it in a protected area, such as a garage or shed, to prevent freezing damage.
Rensning: Periodically wipe down the exterior of the hose reel with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. The UV-resistant housing helps maintain its appearance.
Slangeinspektion: Regularly inspect the hose for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. Replace the hose if damage is found to ensure optimal performance and prevent water waste.
Tilslutningskontrol: Ensure all hose connections (leader hose to spigot, leader hose to reel, garden hose to accessory) remain tight to prevent leaks. The brass threads on the garden hose are corrosion-resistant for durability.

Slangen trækkes ikke helt eller jævnt ind.	Hose is tangled or kinked inside the reel; debris obstructing the mechanism; retraction spring issue.	Pull out the entire hose length and then guide it back slowly to ensure proper winding. Check for visible obstructions. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
Vandlækage fra tilslutninger.	Loose connections; worn washers; damaged hose.	Tighten all connections. Replace worn rubber washers in couplings. Inspect the hose for damage and replace if necessary.
Reduced water pressure/output.	Hose diameter restriction; internal obstruction; spigot pressure issue.	Ensure the spigot is fully open. While the 5/8-inch hose is designed for good flow, any hose system can introduce some pressure drop. Check for kinks in the leader hose or main hose.
Hose does not lock when pulled.	Låsemekanismen er snavset eller beskadiget.	Gently pull and release the hose several times. Ensure the hose is clean. If the problem continues, contact customer support.
