Setup and Installation

The cord reel can be mounted to a wall or ceiling. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound and capable of supporting the weight of the cord reel and the forces applied during cord extension and retraction. It is recommended to mount into wall studs or ceiling joists.

Mounting Steps:

1. Select Location: Choose a suitable location on a wall or ceiling that is close to a power outlet and provides unobstructed access for cord use. Consider the 180° swivel range.
2. Detach Bracket: Remove the mounting bracket from the cord reel by pulling the retaining pin.
3. Mark Drilling Points: Hold the mounting bracket against the desired surface and mark the positions for the mounting screws. Ensure the marks are level.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes appropriate for the included mounting screws. For wood studs/joists, use a drill bit slightly smaller than the screw diameter.
5. Secure Bracket: Attach the mounting bracket securely to the wall or ceiling using the provided screws. Ensure it is firmly fastened.
6. Attach Cord Reel: Reattach the cord reel to the mounted bracket, aligning the holes and reinserting the retaining pin. Ensure the pin is fully engaged.
7. Connect to Power: Plug the 2 ft. lead-in cord into a grounded 125V AC outlet. Note that the lead-in cord is short, and an additional extension cord may be required if the mounting location is not directly adjacent to an outlet.

Operating Instructions

Extending the Cord:

Grasp the triple tap end of the cord and pull it gently to the desired length. The internal ratcheting mechanism will lock the cord in place. Ensure the cord is fully uncoiled to prevent overheating, especially when drawing high power.

Retracting the Cord:

To retract the cord, pull it gently again until the ratcheting mechanism disengages. Then, slowly guide the cord back into the reel. It is important to guide the cord manually to ensure even winding and prevent tangles or damage. Do not release the cord abruptly, as it can retract quickly and cause injury or damage.

Using the Triple Outlet:

The cord reel features a lighted triple tap, allowing you to connect up to three grounded devices simultaneously. The indicator light confirms power is supplied to the outlets. Always ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the reel's maximum rating of 13A/1625W.

Overload Protection:

The cord reel is equipped with a built-in 13A circuit breaker. If the connected load exceeds 13 amps, the breaker will trip, cutting power to the outlets to prevent damage. To reset the breaker:

1. Unplug all devices from the cord reel.
2. Press the red reset button located on the side of the reel.
3. Plug in devices one by one, ensuring the total load does not exceed 13A.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the cord reel from power. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the cord for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Check the plug and outlets for corrosion or loose connections. If any damage is found, discontinue use and contact customer support.
• Storage: When not in use, ensure the cord is fully retracted and stored in a clean, dry place.
