Power Cord Reel - Holiday Navigator 2003 Owner's Manual

The power cord reel is a 12 Volt DC motorized assembly that mechanically
coils and stows the shore cord. The 12 Volt battery cut-off switch must be
ON for the power cord reel to operate. The 50 Amp power cord reel is located
in the roadside compartment of the motorhome. The other end of the cable
power cord is wired directly to the transfer switch. The motor control switch
is labeled IN and OUT. This switch operates the 12 Volt DC motor
extending or retracting 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 not be taut but
slightly slack.
Maintenance:
When only a short section of the shore power cable is frequently
used the cable may coil sharper than normal, causing the cable to kink.
To relieve this condition, routinely extend the cable full distance.
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 connections at least once a year. Be
sure they are secure and free of corrosion. Check the neoprene covers
on the in-limit switch and the power switch to be sure 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 watch-
bands and other metal jewelry before working around
batteries and connectors. Use caution when working
with metal tools. If the tool contacts a battery terminal
or metal connected to it, a short circuit could occur
causing personal injury, explosion or fire.
