how do you roll up hose on the Ames reeleasy side hose?

You roll up the hose manually by turning a crank handle on the front of the drum. The hose must be aligned to the side so that it wraps around the drum as you crank the handle.

It's hard to see in the photo, but it has a handle and you crank it around, pretty much the way you would expect to roll up the hose.

In the lower left hand corner of the picture you can see the ring for the hose and the handle on the reel. It rolls pretty easy, but you should probably only use about a 75' hose otherwise it starts to be too much and rubs on the inlet ring.

You turn the large wheel clockwise via the palm size hand knob. The round crank hand knob is located at the 12oclock position on the large dark hose wheel in the picture.

First make sure the length is right, then stretch the hose out. This takes out the tendency to coil up. Make sure the pressure valve by the return is not turned all the way down. If it goes to fast it will tangle. Release the pressure so it slows down, mine works great.

I am looking for same answer where do you connect hose? as I did not receive a "easy follow video" as stated?also I cannot push the arms forward to secure...are they just this snug?

The way i made it fit is I got a heat gun (you can use a blow dryer) and heat the hose end up till it got very flexible. Don't burn it and force it in with force and twisting motion. This must be done before you connect it to the spigot.

Look closely - this is addressed in the instructions - has something to do with dismounting the hose reel and setting it on its' side and cycling it, as I remember it. Also, maybe you could try to pull out more hose and try again. Short hose pulls are under less tension.

Wrap the air hose outlet with the supplied Teflon tape put it on thick this will This should give a quarter to half less rotation just play with it then hook it up and it should hold pressure

I use the on board hose that came with the vacuum. It does not pull out easily and wants to go back to the storage position if not held firmly.

I just roll it on until almost full. I have no ideal how many feet that is. Sorry

We just coil it up the way it came. A bit of a trick sometime. One way to solve your problem is to use a hose reel. No coiling or uncoiling involved then.

Try placing the tubing in hot water for a few minutes before trying to press it onto the fittings. It will soften the plastic which makes it much easier to stretch over the fittings.

I connect the swivel end of pool hose to the vacuum then connect the non-swivel end of the pool hose to the skimmer. It works good except it's not heavy enough to roll high up the pool sides without floating up.

I hope this is not joke. You could wind up 100 feet of hose, then carefully remove half of the reel assembly, at which point the wound up hose coils will want to fall off from the hub. Provided, that you can slide off the hose coils, place it on the ground. Now you have to reattach half the reel and continue with the other 100 feet. After the reel is full, you'll need to take half the reel off again to remove the hose coils. Why would you want to do this?

Take the white dropper out and place the roller top on and then screw top on and it pushes the roller ball on. Hope I helped you.

No - you just wind the hose around it manually. There is no reel to "wind it up".

One roll should be sufficient if you do0 not wrap it in a spiral pattern. Wrap it around the hose then cut enough so that you can tape it around the hose.

I find I had to completely uncoil it to relax it from box for a couple days. In my back yard I have a holder on the house to coil it around which works better than trying to coil it nicely on the ground. Still it sceasier than my old big hose was. Good luck...

There is a small door on left hand side to open. Pull the bucket out and look on the upper left side you will see where the hose threads on.
