The hose can be operated instantaneously by one person simply by turning on the valve and, under
pressure, drawing off the hose through the pulley in any direction. Once within range of the fire, the
operator is able to control the water stream from the nozzle. For swift operation, refer to directions
depicted on the instruction label. After use, we recommend that the reel be checked and sealed by a
service technician. For sealing purposes, the valve is provided with a hole on the handwheel. When not
in use, the valve must remain in the sealed/off position.
Handwheels are marked 'OPEN-OOP'.
