Abstract
A system is described for controlling the engagement of a rotating drive, such as a drive for a hose reel. A power source provides rotational power to a first rotating member. A power-transfer device extends between the first rotating member and an input portion of a second rotating member. A control member linked to the first rotating member moves between first and second orientations to move the first rotating member between engaged and disengaged positions. In the engaged position, the power-transfer device is engaged to allow transfer of rotational power from the power source to the second rotating member. In the disengaged position, the power-transfer device is disengaged such that rotational power is not transferred from the power source to the second rotating member.
