If i had an information sheet i would not have to ask ........ :)
Simple if you don't have any one to hold the spool through a pencil you can use either Berkley spooling station or a bucket of water and drop the spool in and slowly wind on the line through your fingers leveling it out across the spool if it doesn't have a level wind, you can attach the line to the spool with almost any knot as you will never get down that far on one of those reels, try the albright knot, but most work and fill it so there is about 3mm between where the spool and the line meet(depth)

We Have Water!!
The same wonderful husband and son who worked to get the garden "built," gave me the better part of their Saturday and now.... We Have Water!!! 
Gone is the necessity to drag the 100 foot hose out to the garden location!
Gone is the aggravation of having to reel up that 100 foot hose after gardening (although I admit, I sometimes wouldn't)
Gone is the worry that my plants will dessicate because I don't have the time to water!
It's the coolest thing...the hose is clamped along the fence line and comes into the garden where I have TWO options...the mounted sprinkler that covers the WHOLE garden or the handheld hose.I am in Tidewater Garden Goddess heaven! (And oh so lucky to have a husband who not only tolerates, but supports my various passions.)
