Electrical Information Voltage AMPS Frequency 0 HZ Single Phase 0 HZ Single Phase 00 0 HZ Single Phase 0 0 HZ Single Phase 0 0 HZ Single Phase SAFETY Personal injury and/or equipment damage may result if proper safety precautions are not observed. Ensure that only a qualified electrician installs/services this equipment. Ensure that power supply voltage does not exceed maximum voltage rating of reel. Ensure that all electrical power is removed from reel before servicing. A high-tension spring assembly is contained within the reel. Exercise extreme caution. Check for frayed and/or broken wires before each use. Pull electrical cord from reel by grasping the electrical cord itself, not the work device. If an electrical malfunction should occur, remove power from reel immediately. Ensure that reel, electrical cord, and equipment being serviced are properly grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground continuity. If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove power immediately. Do not pull or jerk on electrical cord! Treat and respect the reel as any other piece of machinery, observing all common safety practices. All cord reels with flying leads must be hard wired into the electrical circuit to ensure proper function. Even low voltage can cause irreparable damage or death! Exercise extreme caution while operating or servicing this equipment. Form# - Rev: /0 Reelcraft Industries, Inc.

Series L 000 Cord Reels Installation Instructions Mounting CAUTION: Unless reel was specified differently when ordering, maximum installation height is feet. Do not exceed this distance. Ensure that only a qualified electrician installs/ services this equipment. Observe applicable NEC, OSHA, and local codes when installing this equipment. Installation of GFCI cord reels should be performed by a qualified and licensed professional in accordance with local building codes and applicable NEC standards.. Unpack and inspect the reel for damage. Turn by hand to check for smooth operation. Check for completeness.. Configure reel for top, side or bottomwind (bottom-wind for constant tension reels only) electrical cable dispensing by removing bolts () securing guide arm bracket ().. Determine new guide arm bracket location and remove corresponding bolts. Position guide arm bracket to reel and replace bolts.. Position reel on floor, wall or ceiling. Secure into place using four (customer supplied) screws or bolts (). Installing the Input Electrical Cable: 0 AMP Models Use only 0/ cable for input wiring. Ensure that application does not exceed electrical rating of reel. (See page of this manual).. Feed input cable () through elbow () and main shaft.. Screw elbow () into reel.. Connect input wires () and collector ring wires () together using wire nuts ().. Assemble cover () to reel. Installing the Output Electrical Cable: 0 AMP Models WIRE COLOR CODE Black-Hot White-Neutral Green-Ground 0 Select output cable in accordance with power requirement of apparatus to be supplied. Ensure that application does not exceed electrical rating of reel (see page of this manual). Use extreme caution, reel under tension. Avoid releasing latch mechanism.. Manually turn sheave () until spring is tight, back off turns, and latch.. Remove access cover ().. Remove of output electrical cable outer jacket.. Route cable through guide arm and U-clamp () then through cut-out (0) in spool.. Tighten U-clamp ().. Using wire nuts (), connect output electrical cable wires to collector assembly brush wires as indicated in illustration.. Connect ground wire of output electrical cable to ground lug () located on inner side of spool.. Using ohmmeter, check for ground faults.. Replace access cover (). Release latch and wind output electrical cable onto reel. 0. Install bumper stop (). Adjusting the Spring Tension If necessary, adjust spring tension on reel by adding or removing 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. When adding wraps of electrical cord, be careful 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-tightened. Always be aware of spring tension on reel. Exercise extreme caution. Troubleshooting Instructions: 0 AMP Models 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. The following procedure directs the techician 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.
