CURING A LEAKING SWIVEL
Problem:
Your new Liberty® hose reel or hose reel cart is leaking at the swivel.
Solution:
It is normal for the swivel to leak slightly until the O-rings are wet and have seated. If the leaking
continues, you don't need to take the cart back to the store. This is a simple problem and is
easily fixed by a simple procedure.
1. If the leader hose is attached to the swivel, unscrew the hose and look inside the swivel.
2. Using either a hex key or a large screw driver, insert the tool into the hex opening and gently
tighten the threaded insert. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
3. This should stop the leaking.
4. If the unit still leaks, please check that the hose washer is inside the nut. You may contact
Liberty for a new hose washer or obtain one at any hardware store.
5. If your swivel is old, the O-rings may be worn, please contact us for a new set of O-rings.
6. If these steps do not solve your leaking problem, then contact Liberty Garden.

REGARDING TROUBLESHOOTING AND WARRANTY
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Rust
Your hose reel will give you many seasons of reliable and functional hose storage. As with any steel
product, there is always the chance for rust developing over time. Your hose reel finish is designed for
industrial applications, but even the toughest of coatings can be compromised by scratches. Such minor
surface damage can occur in shipping despite our best efforts. We have found that most scratches
occur during assembly and/or installation. If the base metal is exposed to the elements long enough,
rust will develop. We recommend that you periodically inspect your reel for any surface damage.
Scratches can easily be repaired by using standard automotive touch-up body paint. Some of our most
loyal customers recommend that at the end of each season, the unit be cleaned and painted with a clear
acrylic paint. Two other sources of rust acceleration is exposing the reel to yard fertilizers or leaving your
hose reel standing in grass. Be sure to rinse off your hose reel after it comes in contact with freshly
fertilized grass. Also, try to park your hose reel on solid ground. Leaving it standing on top of vegetation
promotes condensation on the undercarriage of the unit.
Leaks
Your hose reel is manufactured with the finest quality components available. All components are
manufactured to rigorous quality standards not common in other consumer grade hose reels available
today. When you install your hose reel, be sure the hose washers are in place and all fittings are secure.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN as you might damage the components. If you live in more temperate
climates, be sure to drain the unit of any residual water before storing. DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT TO
FREEZING TEMPERATURES while water remains in the plumbing system.
Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: Swivel head is not rotating, causing the leader hose to kink up.
Solution: Remove leader hose and turn the square head of the swivel several times; apply
lubricant.
Problem: Leaking Fixtures (galvanized tee; brass coupling; swivel)
Solution: Apply Teflon/Plummer's tape or/and make sure fixtures are tightened.
Tips:
* To help delay rust, check for any scratches on your hose cart. Apply clear acrylic/weatherproof paint
to avoid rusting.
* Drain water before storing.
* DO NOT drink water from the hose.
* DO NOT leave water running though the reel while not in-use or unsupervised.
* Turn off water after each use.
WARRANTY & CARE
Our guarantee is as functional and straight-forward as our products. Since we design and build our products
to provide you with many years of satisfaction, all Liberty™ products are guaranteed against defects in
materials and workmanship. In the unlikely event that a problem arises as a result of a defect in our
materials or workmanship, we will promptly repair or replace the item at our expense. All we require is that
you contact us first and we'll take it from there. It is important to note that our guarantee is not an uncondi-
tional guarantee for the life of the product. Liberty™ hose stands and reels are made from the finest materi-
als available under our exacting manufacturing standards. But, like any other product, it is not indestructible.
Therefore, our guarantee does not cover:
Product damage that is a result of abuse, misuse, or mishandling. (Exposing the unit to freezing
temperatures with water remaining in the reel plumbing system voids the unit warranty.)
* Rust. Despite the industrial quality coating and our best efforts, steel will rust over time.
+ Incidental damage or consequential damages or injury to persons or to other property not purchased from
us due to the use of our product.
* DO NOT consume water from garden hose; not fit for human consumption.
If there is damage to the product that occurred as a result of shipping, you should file a damage claim
with the carrier.
* DO NOT leave water running though the reel while not in-use or unsupervised.
As with any product, it should be expected that component parts - particularly moving parts, swivel, water
connections, seals, O-rings, wheels, hose will wear with use and over time, and eventually may need to be
replaced or refurbished. This type of normal wear and tear is naturally not covered by our guarantee, but we
will always be happy to provide you with prompt, high quality service and replacement parts at a nominal
cost.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to
state. (Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation may not apply to you).
You will find that we apply the same standard of excellence to our customer service as we do to our products.
Warning! This product contains one or more chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
