Installation Procedure

1.   Identify compartment where the hose reel will be installed. To simplify the installation, it is strongly recommended that the hose reel 

be installed in the compartment that stores the existing power cord.

2.   Measure the compartment to insure there is enough space for the reel. Dimensional drawings are available at rvpower.southwire.com. 

Do not forget to leave room for the hose to exit through the floor or wall directly in front of or below the hose reel.

3.   For proper operation the hose exit must be centered with the center of the spool. The distance away from the spool is not important, only 

that it is centered. If the exit is not centered the hose will wrap on the side of the spool closest to the exit and could bind on the reel.

4.   Place the hose reel in the compartment.
5.  Mark the floor, wall, or compartment where mounting bolts or screws will be located. Remove reel from compartment and drill holes for 

mounting bolts or screws. If reel is to be hung from the top of a compartment, it must be installed into a steel frame component. Hang-

ing reels from a wooden compartment, is not recommended. If mounting on a plastic floor, a stiffening board or plate must be added.

6.   Place hose reel back in compartment and install mounting screws or bolts.
7.   If installing floor or wall hatch, drill or cut opening. For proper operation the hose exit must be centered with the center of the spool. 

Mount the floor or wall hatch.

8.  Connect the pigtail from the cord reel to the junction box or power switch where the original power cord was connected. The cord reel 

conductors are color coded to match the colors on the existing mains supply. Green is ground, red and black are hot, and white is neutral.
