PERSONNEL 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 maxi-
mum voltage rating of reel.
• Ensure that reel is properly installed before connecting to
power supply.
• Ensure that all electrical power is removed from reel be-
fore 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 ser-
viced 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.
WARNING:
Frequency 60HZ single phase

MOUNTING (FIG. 2)
1. Unpack and inspect reel for damage. Turn by hand
to check for smooth operation. Check for complete-
ness.
2. Configure reel for top, side or bottom-wind (bottom-
wind for constant tension reels only) electrical cord
dispensing by removing bolts (1), securing guide
arm bracket (2). Determine new guide arm location
and remove corresponding bolts. Position guide
arm bracket to reel and replace bolts.
3. Position reel on floor, wall, or ceiling. Secure into
place, using four (customer supplied) screws or
bolts (3).
ELECTRICAL
WARNING:
Ensure that application does not exceed electrical
rating of reel.
Observe applicable NEC, OSHA, and local electrical
codes when installing this equipment.
1. Connect input cord to grounded receptacle.
CAUTION:
Maximum installation height is 16 feet (4.9 m). Do
not exceed this distance.
Ensure that only a qualified electrician installs/ser-
vices this equipment.
ADJUSTMENTS
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-tensioned.
Always be aware of spring tension on reel. Exercise
extreme caution.
TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS

2
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 Alemite.
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/ser-
vices this equipment.

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
Maintain reel by following the service instructions given
below. Refer all other repairs, other than those listed, only to
an authorized service person or directly to Reelcraft. Failure
to do so can result in personal injury and/or equipment dam-
age and may void the warranty.
(Refer to page 5 when referencing parts).
REPLACING THE OUTPUT ELECTRICAL
CORD
1. Pull output electrical cord from reel until fully extended,
then latch.
2. Remove output electrical cord bumper (1).
3. Disconnect output electrical cord (5) at terminal strip
(4).
4. Remove strain relief (2). Remove output electrical cord.
5. Install replacement electrical cord by reversing steps 2
through 4.
6. Release latch and rewind electrical cord on reel.
7. Replace access cover (8).
REPLACING THE INPUT ELECTRICAL
CORD
1. Remove wire nuts (7) securing input electrical cord to
collector assembly (6).
2. Remove 90 degree elbow (3).
3. Remove input electrical cord.
4. Remove 11" (279 mm) of outer jacket from replacement
input electrical cord (input electrical cord wires must
protrude a minimum of 6" (152 mm) from center of col-
lector assembly).
5. Install replacement input electrical cord by reversing
steps 1 through 3.
6. Replace access cover (8).
1. Ensure that tool or fixture connected to the duplex outlet
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 terminal strip (2).
If voltage reading is correct, replace output electrical
cord (refer to SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS). If voltage
reading is incorrect, proceed to step 6.
6. Remove power from reel.
7. Using an ohmmeter, check continuity of input electri-
cal cord. If cord checks good, replace cord reel. If cord
is faulty, replace cord (refer to SERVICE INSTRUC-
TIONS).
8. Replace access cover (1).
WARNING:
Remove power from reel before performing any of
