Insert kink-free spring
(J) into garden hose.
NOTE:
The Kink-Free Spring (J) is designed to prevent a hose
kink during STEP 32. Rapid Reel currently supplies this
one spring size which will fit into most 5/8" garden
hoses. However, it may not fit into certain brands, such
as Craftsman
®
hoses. Use of the spring is not required
and TRITON reels are designed to operate properly
without it. If the spring does not fit into your garden
hose, simply use care during STEP 32 to avoid a hose
kink. If you are going to purchase a new garden hose for
the reel, we recommend that you take the spring with
you while shopping to ensure it will slide into the hose.
