Re: Power Cord & Water Hose Reel Reply #2 – April 23, 2017, 08:21:29 am John, my "manual" hose reel has a lever attached to a spring. I pull the hose out until I hear the reel clicking then stop and slowly release the tension until it locks in place. The spring pulls the lever up against a cog when you hear the reel clicking. Your spring may need replacing. About your "any position" statement. The cog is not a complete circle so you are limited to positions when ever the lever and cog line up (clicking sound). I hope I was clear describing how it works.Ed Quote Selected 1 Likes
