CAUTION:
Unless reel was specified differently when
ordering, maximum installation height is 16
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.
1. Unpack and inspect the reel for damage.
Turn by hand to check for smooth operation. Check for completeness.
2. Configure reel for top, side or bottomwind (bottom-wind for constant tension
reels only) electrical cable dispensing by
removing bolts (1) securing guide arm
bracket (2).
3. Determine new guide arm bracket location and remove corresponding bolts.
Position guide arm bracket to reel and
replace bolts.
4. Position reel on floor, wall or ceiling.
Secure into place using four (customer
supplied) screws or bolts (3).
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.
WARNING:
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:
20 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.
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 electrican
installs or services this equipment.

1. If work device is either an incandescent
or fluorescent light, replace bulb with a
known good bulb. If this does not correct
the problem, proceed to step 2. If work
device is an electrical receptable, 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 vac) at a
terminal strip (2). If voltage reading is
correct, replace output electrical device
(refer to Service Instructions). If voltage
reading is incorrect, proceed to step 6.
6. Remove power from reel.

good, proceed to step 8. If cord is faulty,
replace it (refer to Service Instructions).
Remove brush holder/brushes from
reel and inspect (refer to Service
Instructions). Replace defective components then proceed to step 9.
