Safety
1. Ensure that power supply voltage does not
exceed maximum voltage rating of reel. Also,
ensure that reel is properly installed before
connecting to power supply.
2. All cord reels with GFCI receptacles must be
hard wired to ensure proper function.
3. Check for frayed/broken wires before each
use.
4. Do not exeed maximum installation height
of 16 ft unless specified.
5. A high tension spring assembly is contained
within the reel. Exercise extreme
caution.
6. Remove all spring tension and electric
power before beginning any disassembly
process.
7. If an electrical malfunction should occur,
remove power from reel immediately.
8. Ensure that reel, electrical cord, and
equipment being serviced are properly
grounded. Use an ohmmeter to check ground
continuity.
9. Reels that include explosion-proof
fluorescent hand lamps are not
explosion-proof themselves.
10. The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
Receptacle is designed to protect people
from line-to-ground shock hazards. The
GCFI does not protect against short circuits
or overloads. This is the function of the fuse
or circuit breaker. Test monthly.
11. Pull electrical cord from reel by grasping
the electrical cord itself, not the work device.
12. If reel ceases to unwind or rewind, remove
electrical power immediately. Do not jerk
excessively on electrical cable!
13. Treat and respect the cord reel as any
other piece of machinery, observing all
common safety practices.
Installation
Ensure that only a qualified electrician
installs/services this equipment. Observe
applicable NEC, OSHA, and local electrical codes
when installing this equipment. Installation of
GFCI cord reels should be performed by a
Page 1
Form #1213-109 REVISED: 8/09
qualified and licensed professional in
accordance with local building codes and
applicable NEC standards.
Mounting & Guide Arm Adjustment
The cord reel is equipped for universal mounting
so that it can be mounted on a structurally sound
floor, wall or ceiling; whichever provides
maximum performance. The guide arm must be
rotated to a position that allows the cord to feed
through the roller brackets with minimal
bending. Replace the fasteners. Where applica-
ble, the U-Bolt must be placed in the proper
location when rotating the guide arm, otherwise
the reel might "latch out" during use. Refer to
online manual for proper U-Bolt locations.
Lubrication
Cord reel spring and bearings are factory
lubricated and require no further lubrication.
Install/Replace the Electrical Cord
CAUTION: Exercise extreme caution when
adding or removing spring tension. Ensure reel
base is fastened down prior to adjusting
tension. Do not move spool while tightening
cord or latch will disengage.
1. Wind spool flange required number of turns
to achieve proper tension (Refer to online
Tech Bulletin). Do not over-tighten.
2. Engage cord latching mechanism.
Remove access cover.
3. Strip 6" (L4000), 8" (L7000) or 11"
(L5000) of output electrical cord outer jacket.
4. Route cord through U-Bolt*, cutout in
spool, then through strain relief (90° elbow).
Tighten U-Bolt* and strain relief (90° elbow)
as required. *Where applicable; not all
models contain a U-bolt.
5 Using wire nuts, connect output electrical
cord wires to collector assembly brush
wires. Connect ground wire of output
electrical cable to ground lug.
6. Check for ground faults using an ohmmeter.
7. Install access cover. Carefully release latch
and firmly hold the cord while winding it
onto reel. Install cord bumper stop at desired
position.
