WARNING
Use extreme caution when operating electric
rewind on hose reels. Never use the electric
rewind on both hose reels at the same time.
Electric rewind should be halted, then
resumed carefully as the fuel dispensing
nozzle approaches the vehicle. As the hose
becomes fully wound on the hose reel, the
nozzle may slam against the vehicle with
force sufficient to cause Injury to persons
and/or damage to equipment. Extreme care
Is to be used, ensuring that hose is rewound
slowly. Caution should be used at the hose
reels to prevent accidental tripping of the
rewind switches. If these are accidentally
depressed by hand or by falling objects,
serious injury to persons and/or damage to
equipment may occur.
NOTE
Hose must be evacuated of fuel before
rewinding (para 2-14d).
(b) Rewinding Hose.
To electrically rewind
hose reels, push the hose reel rewind button (figs. 2-14 and
2-15) for the specific hose reel to be rewound. To avoid dis-
charging battery, rewind hose reels while engine is run-
ning. To manually rewind hose reels, remove crank from
its stowed position in hose reel cabinet, and install on re-
wind shaft of hose reel. To rewind hose reel on left side of
cabinet, turn crank clockwise. To rewind hose reel on right
