Installation Instructions
Mounting
CAUTION: Unless reel was specified differently when order-
ing, maximum installation height is 16 feet. Do not exceed this
distance. Ensure that only a qualified electrician installs/services
this equipment. Installation of GFCI cord reels should be per-
formed by a qualified and licensed professional in accordance
with building codes and applicable NEC standards.
1. Unpack and inspect reel for damage. Turn by hand to
check for smooth operation.
2. Standard configuration of reel is bottom wind. For top or
side wind electrical cord dispensing you will need guide
arm accessory kit (sold separately). Install by removing
two nuts and bolts (1) and (2), that are securing the spring
case. Determine new guide arm location. Position guide
arm bracket to reel and replace bolts.
3. Position reel under workbench, on floor, wall, or ceiling.
Secure into place, using four (customer supplied) screws
or bolts (3).
Service Instructions
Maintain reel by following the service instructions given below.
Refer all other repairs, other than those listed, only to an autho-
rized service person or directly to Reelcraft. Failure to do so can
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage and may
void the warranty (refer to page 4 when referencing parts).
WARNING: Remove power from reel before performing
any of the following procedures.
Adjustments - Spring Tension
If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding or remov-
ing wraps of electrical cord from spool, one wrap at a time,
until desired tension is obtained. Add wraps to increase tension.
Remove wraps to decrease tension.
WARNING: When adding wraps of electrical cord, be care-
ful not to exceed the winding mechanism’s spring capacity.
Add just enough wraps of cord to achieve the desired tension.
Damage to the winding mechanism will result if spring is over-
tensioned. Always be aware of spring tension on reel. Exercise
extreme caution. Refer to online tech bulletin.
Troubleshooting Instructions
Troubleshooting of the reel consists of isolating a problem to
a defective electrical cord/work device, brush holder/brushes,
or collector assembly. Refer any other discrepancies only to an
authorized service person or directly to Reelcraft.
WARNING: The following procedure directs the technician to
take voltage measurements. Remember, even low voltage is
dangerous and can cause personal injury or death. Exercise
extreme caution! Ensure that only a qualified electrician installs
/ services this equipment.
1. If work device is an electrical receptacle, ensure that tool
or fixture connected to it is in good working order. If it is,
proceed to step 2.
2. Remove power from reel.
3. Remove access cover (1).
4. Reapply power to reel.
5. Check for correct voltage (120 V AC) at terminal strip (2).
If voltage reading is correct, replace output electrical cord /
device. If voltage reading is incorrect, proceed to step 6.
6. Remove power from reel.
7. Using ohmmeter, check continuity of input electrical cord.
If cord checks good, proceed to step 8. If cord is faulty,
replace it.
8. Remove brush holder / brushes from reel and inspect.
Replace defective components then proceed to step 9.
9. Reapply power to reel.
10. Check for correct voltage (120 V AC) at terminal strip (2).
If voltage reading is still incorrect, replace defective collec-
tor assembly.
11. Replace access cover (1).
