Troubleshooting Instructions (figure A)

Troubleshooting of the reel consists of isolating a problem to a defec-
tive 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 mea-
surements. 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 recept-
able, 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 volt-

age reading is correct, replace output electrical device (refer to 
page 3). 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 
page 3). Remove brush holder/brushes from reel and inspect (refer 
to page 3). Replace defective components 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 page 4).

11.  Replace access cover (1).
