50A RV POWER CORD REEL

Tools Required: Drill, Wire Strippers, 5/16 Wrench, Tape Measure, Phillips Screwdriver

Parts Included: 1 Cord Reel

Additional Parts: (Available from TRC) Switch assembly MH2021, Floor Hatch and Under Coach Roller Guide

Installation Procedure

1. Identify compartment where the hose reel will be installed. To simplify the installation it is strongly recommended that

the hose reel be installed in the compartment that stores the existing power cord.

2. Measure the compartment to insure there is enough space for the reel. Dimensional drawings are available at

http://www.trci.net. Do not forget to leave room for the hose to exit through the oor or wall directly in front of or below

the hose reel.

3. For proper operation the hose exit must be centered with the center of the spool. The distance away from the spool is

not important, only that it is centered. If the exit is not centered the hose will wrap on the side of the spool closest to the

exit and could bind on the reel.

4. Place the hose reel in the compartment.

5. Mark the oor, wall or compartment where mounting bolts or screws will be located. Remove reel from compartment

and drill holes for mounting bolts or screws. If reel is to be hung from the top of a compartment it must be installed into a

steel frame component. Hanging reels from a wooden compartment is not recommended. If mounting on a plastic oor,

a stiffening board or plate must be added.

6. Place hose reel back in compartment and install mounting screws or bolts.

7. If installing oor or wall hatch, drill or cut opening. For proper operation the hose exit must be centered with the center

of the spool. Mount the oor or wall hatch.

WARNING: To Reduce the Risk of Electric Shock, disconnect the main VAC power source prior to

proceeding. This unit contains 125/250VAC. The wiring should only be done by a qualied electrician.

8. Connect the pigtail from the cord reel to the junction box or power switch where the original power cord was connected.

The cord reel conductors are color coded to match the colors on the existing mains supply. Green is Ground, Red

and Black are Hot, and White is Neutral.
