This manual is giving information about a correct assembly, use and maintenance of the hose reels in
order to prevent accidents.
The hose reel has been designed in conformity to the present EEC rules and namely:
- UNI EN ISO 12100:2010 Safety of machinery - General principles for design - Risk assessment
and risk reduction;
- UNI EN ISO 13857:2020 Safety of machinery - Safety distances to prevent hazard zones being
reached by upper and lower limbs.
The equipment must be used in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual and it is
guaranteed for a period of 18 months from date of manufacture. Warranty does not cover flexible hoses,
seals, all wear parts and all parts which are faulty after incorrect use, incorrect installation or mainte-
nance, maintenance carried out by unauthorized personnel, transport damages, or for circumstances
not concerning manufacturing defects. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for any damage,
that may directly or indirectly, derive to persons or property in consequence to the not observed requi-
rements specified in this instruction manual and especially the warnings regarding installation, use and
maintenance.
The hose reels models VG - VGL are made of hot galvanized moulded steel and painted with electro-
static polyester powder system in order to guarantee a long life of the product. The hose reels models
VGX - VGLX are made of stainless steel AISI 304 except for some parts made of nylon and aluminium.
The hose reels models VGLTX are made of stainless steel AISI 316 except for some parts made of nylon
and aluminium.The hose rolling is done automatically by a spring made of high quality iron, incorporated
in the drum. The stop can be done at any desired length, through an automatic locking device.
The hose reels supplied without hose are provided with the unloaded spring. Follow the instruc-
tions described at the chapter "HOSE ASSEMBLY".
The automatic device stopping the hose works on an area corresponding to 1/3 turn of the drum.
To release the hose, put a light traction on it.
It is important always to keep the hose back when you rewind it, in order to avoid
damages to the machine, injuries to people or to surrounding things.

5 - INTENDED USE OF THE MACHINE

The hose reels of the painted series are suitable for distributing fluids like diesel fuel, oil, urea solutions,
antifreeze, windshield liquid, water-based solutions of detergents or disinfectants. The stainles steel
hose reels are suitable for washing at high or low pressure. Specific versions with food-quality hose are
suitable for the passage of water that comes in contact with foodstuffs. According to the EEC rules these
hose reels have not to be placed in areas where they might be in contact with food products.
All the hose reels have to be used only for distributing fluids, at the pressures and temperatures
indicated on the schedule. Every hose reel code is corresponding to a different kind of fluid. It is for-
bidden to use the machine for any other kind of fluid.
We decline any responsibility for anomalies or dangers which could arise by a hose assembly with
characteristics and uses different from the ones described herein. Avoid to get on the machine or to lay
any kind of material on it. Check periodically the correct operation of the hose reel, and control that the
couplers are well locked and there are no fluid losses. Close the feeding of fluid at the shift end to avoid
damages during non-working hours.
On request can be supplied in accordance with the Directive ATEX 2014/34/EU with the marking
for their use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
