RS7600 OHP – 3/8 in. x 50 ft. REELSAFE® Controlled Return Hose Reel
The new REELSAFE® Series RS7000 controlled return hose reel is an expansion of the rugged design that set the industry standard. This model is part of the Category: REELSAFE® Grease Hose Reels. With safety at the forefront, REELSAFE® pays out like a traditional reel, though is specifically engineered to retract the hose at an average walking speed. The centrifugal clutch, integral to the reel base, greatly decelerates the hose retraction speed by up to 83% vs. a Series 7000 reel.
Key Features and Safety Benefits
- Retracts at 2 miles per hour – designed to match the average human walking speed of 2 to 3 miles per hour.
- Integral clutch creates a consistent retraction speed regardless of fluid or environmental temperatures.
- Safely protects personnel and equipment by preventing uncontrolled whip during retraction.
- Requires no field adjustment for ease of operation.
- Made in USA, ensuring high-quality construction.

Operation and Maintenance
How do I increase or reduce spring tension on my reel?
To increase spring tension: Adding wraps of hose will increase spring tension. This can be accomplished by pulling out approximately 10 feet of hose, hand feed hose back up through roller bracket assembly until loop is large enough to slip over spool. Add two or three wraps until desired tension is achieved. Do not exceed spring capacity.
To reduce spring tension: This can be accomplished by removing wraps of hose from the reel spool. Remove wraps of hose from the sheave, one wrap at a time, until desired tension is obtained.
*For dual pedestal reels, you will have to remove the bumper and control handle then feed the end of the hose through the roller bracket assembly to add or remove wraps of hose from the reel drum.
Can my spring driven reel be made constant tension?
Most Reelcraft spring retractable reels can be made constant tension by removing the latching system. There are some models that may not have this capability. Please refer to our online tech bulletins for more information on converting your reel to constant tension (7000).
How do I replace the latch spring on my Series 7000 reel?
- Remove all spring tension from the reel by removing the bumper assembly and allowing the spool to un-wind completely.
- Turn off inlet pressure to reel and remove inlet plumbing.
- Remove set-screw which holds main shaft from hub on the base assembly.
- Slide the spool and springcase and shaft assembly away from base.
- Latch assembly should then be visible and accessible.
- Remove old spring, re-attach new spring with large loop over latch stud bushing and small loop through the end of the latch pawl.
DO NOT USE pliers or similar tools as they may cause damage to the latch spring during install and shorten service life.
