No. If anyone wished to use the hose reel for some other purpose, there is no harm in this, provided that the hose reel is left in working order or arrangements made to repair any defects found. Using the hose reel like this confirms that the hose reel is working correctly and can identify any faults. However it may not be suitable to use a hose reel in this way if it becomes a trip hazard or will prevent fire doors from closing.
