Welcome to the Workshop community @Paul3. Many thanks for your question, I'd be happy to assist.

Could you please tell us the model number of the unit so I investigate what reel type is on it?

Hi @Paul3,

Thanks for the additional info on the RPW140SC Ryobi pressure washer. There is a discussion on this unit Ryobi 2000PSI pressure washer which you might find of interest. @ProjectPete mentions that he "just fed it through the middle area of the reel first then around so it had something to grab on to. If you just lay it over top or bottom of the reel, the reel can't grab anything to get started.".

After having a look at some details and videos on the product I have come to the same conclusion. It appears the hose is fed through the gap in the middle and after one revolution it should lock it into place allowing you to roll-up the hose.

If you need further assistance or had questions, please let me know.
