electrical cable wires to collector ring
assembly wires. Ensure that bare wires
do not contact each other or the reel
superstructure.
4. Apply power to reel.
5. Using voltmeter, check voltage between
black wire (hot) and white wire (neutral).
If voltage reading is correct (120 vac),
proceed to step 6. If voltage reading is
incorrect, replace input electrical cable
or Collector Ring Ass’y (refer to Service
Instructions).
Service Instructions:
30 AMP Models
WARNING:
Remove power from reel before perform-
ing any of the following procedures.
Replacing the Input Electrical
Cable
1. Remove access cover (8) from reel.
2. Remove wire nuts (14) connecting input
electrical cable (4) wires to collector ring
ass’y wires.
3. Unscrew elbow (5) from reel & pull out
input cable from main shaft & elbow.
4. Install replacement input cable (refer to
Installation Instructions).
Replacing the Output Electrical
Cord

3. Remove wire nuts (11) securing output
electrical cable wires to collector assem-
bly brush wires.
4. Remove output electrical cable ground

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.
7. Using ohmmeter, check continuity of
input electrical cord. If cord checks
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 compo-
nents then proceed to step 9.
8. Reapply power to reel.
9. Check for correct voltage (120 vac) at
terminal strip (2).
10. If voltage reading is still incorrect,
replace defective collector assembly
(refer to Service Instructions).
11. Replace access cover (1).
