The
HoseMaster
system must be mounted in a location that is protected from the elements
and that does not contain combustible fuels. Generally, an existing space in the engine room
near the water storage tank is an acceptable location.

In general, the
HoseMaster
system will be mounted to either the floor or the roof of the com-
partment where it will be located.
Determine where the
HoseMaster
will be mounted. It is very important to allow clearance for
the
HoseMaster
storage spool to operate freely without obstruction or interference, and for the
connection of the water hose from the ship’s water supply.
Install the mounting bracket by using six (6) #10 fasteners
(HINT: Unspooling the water
hose before mounting the HoseMaster can aid installation in tight spaces).

S WATER SYSTEM
As mentioned in section 3 of the Installation Guide (opposite page), the connection of
the
HoseMaster
to your ship’s water system is fairly straightforward and simple.
To retrofit the
HoseMaster
to your coach simply route the existing hose line from the
boat water system inlet port to where you have installed the
HoseMaster
.
Attach the female connector to the 1/2” NPT male water hose connector, located in the
center of the main pulley wheel of the
HoseMaster
.
Cut the hose at a suitable length and attach a 1/2” NPT female connector.
If you prefer to replace your existing hose with a new one, then route a length of drinking
water safe 5/8” water hose from the boat’s water system inlet port to the
HoseMaster
water
connector as described above
(see pg. 10 for Accessories)
.

ASTER POWER SWITCH
The
HoseMaster
power switch comes already assembled, and should be mounted near
the hawse pipe where the hose will exit the boat’s sidewall with (2) #8 fasteners (needed).
You are now ready to connect the
HoseMaster
to your boat’s electrical system.

To aid in the installation of your HoseMaster a mounting template has
been enclosed in this manual.
1) Tape template where installation is to occur, leaving appropriate clear-
ance for hose connection and reel wheel. Mark mount holes.
2) Drill holes and install screw/fender washer, cut screw and SAE wash-
er. Tighten screws until plate fits snug under fender washer. Position the
cut washer to angle fender washer forward.
3) Install plumbing onto HoseMaster, and perform leak check.
4) Slide HoseMaster onto screws.
5) Install front mounting hardware.
6) Connect wires and mount the power switch.

WARNING: If you are not sure on how to wire your HoseMaster DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONNECT POWER TO THE
UNIT, contact a qualified electrician.
The 2 wire connection to vehicle power is all that is required for installation of the Glendinning
HoseMaster.
All other wiring has been completed at the factory.
IMPORTANT: Install a 10-amp fuse between the positive terminal of the power supply and the white wire which leads to
the circuit breaker on the power switch assembly. This circuit will protect your boat in the event that the wire which sup-
plies power to the HoseMaster is chaffed or cut.
The circuit breaker that comes installed in the power switch assembly provides protection against the overloading of the
HoseMaster motor.

The
HoseMaster
comes with (2) 14 gauge wires attached to the motor via the power switch assembly.
These wires should be connected to the 12
VDC
power source. The white wire should be connected to the positive terminal
and the black wire should be connected to the negative ter-
minal. It is important to install a 10amp fuse close to the
power source in-line with the white wire. This installation will
prevent damage to your boat
(see wiring diagram page 7)
.
Make sure all connections are secure.
