Power Cord Reel (Optional)
The Power Cord reel is a 12 Volt DC motorized assembly designed to mechanically coil and
stow the shore cord. The Power Cord reel is located in the roadside compartment of the motorhome.
One end of the Power Cord reel is wired directly to the transfer switch. The motor control switch is
labeled IN and OUT. This switch operates the 12 Volt DC motor to extend or retract the cable.
When extending or retracting the power cord, turn the switch to the direction desired. Assist the
cord, following the direction of travel. Extend only as much power cord as necessary to reach the shore
power outlet. When the cord is connected to shore power, the cord should be slightly slack.
Maintenance:
When only a short section of the shore power cable is frequently used,
the cable may coil sharper than normal and kink. To relieve kinking,
routinely extend the cable full distance and straighten the power cable on
the ground. It is important the cable remains clean. Accumulated dust and
dirt on the cable may cause difficulty in retracting the cord. After cleaning
and straightening the cable, allow the Cablemaster to retract the cable into
the motorhome.
Check all AC and DC wiring at least once each year to ensure corrosion-
free, tight connections. Check the neoprene covers on the In-Limit switch
and the Power Switch to confirm they are free of cracks or fracture.
WARNING:
Before working on the electrical system, disconnect from shore power and turn off the
Inverter/Charger. Disconnect the negative 12 Volt DC battery cables at the inverter.
Remove rings, metal watchbands and other metal jewelry before working around bat-
teries and connectors. Use caution when working with metal tools. If the tool con-
tacts a battery terminal or metal connected to it, a short circuit could occur causing
personal injury, explosion or fire.
