This unit is designed with a clutch type drive to allow direct engagement during retract and clutch disengagement to allow for free
spooling during release. These features are controlled using the rocker switch assembly MH2021/RV2100 or equivalent previously
installed. To correctly operate the unit, follow the steps listed below. If the unit does not perform according to the instructions below,
first recheck wiring for any issues.
MOTOR OPERATION
1. Ensure power is being supplied by the 12 VDC source.
2. Locate the switch installed. If using Southwire switch assembly MH2021/RV2100, identify the label markings “RETRACT” located at
the top switch position and “RELEASE” located at the bottom switch position.
3. To retract the hose back onto the reel simply press and hold the switch in the top “RETRACT” position until the desired amount of
hose is returned to the reel.
4. To release the hose from the reel, press the switch MOMENTARILY in the bottom “RELEASE” position. This unlocks the spool and al-
lows for the hose to be manually pulled to a desired length. DO NOT attempt to pull hose from the reel without first pressing the switch
momentarily in the bottom “RELEASE” position. Only a MOMENTARY press of the switch in the “RELEASE” position will be needed.
DO NOT attempt to continuously hold the “RELEASE” switch position, doing so will cause the cord to unravel on the spool.
CORD OPERATION
Use only approved applicable outlets. Cord has built in handle for easy disconnect.
This unit does not have any user serviceable parts. The user can perform periodic inspection of the cord to insure it is still in usable
condition. DO NOT use if cord is damaged. Tampering with the unit in any other way not mentioned in the USER-MAINTENANCE
