CAUTION: While retracting the power cord, keep hands clear of pinch points.
The 50-amp power cord reel is located in a rear road side compartment bay. The power cord
reel is a 12 Volt DC motorized assembly which will mechanically coil and stow the shore cord.
The control switch actuates the reel to retract the power cord.
To extend the power cord, pull the cord towards you. Extend only as much of the power cord
as necessary for reaching the outlet. The cord should not be taut, but slightly slacked.
To retract the power cord, disconnect from the outlet. The Battery Disconnect must be in the
ON position. Press the control switch; the reel will now begin to retract the shore cord.
Assist the power cord reel by guiding the cord by hand; this will help prevent kinks or
entanglements during the retraction process. Try not to drag the shore cord male connector
along the ground.
The 120 Volt system is protected by circuit breakers which automatically shut the circuit off if
the circuit load is too heavy or a short circuit occurs. If a circuit breaker has been tripped, do
not reset the breaker until the cause of the problem is identified and corrected.
The generator also has one or two circuit breakers and a DC fuse on the generator control
panel. If an interruption in generator operations occurs, check to see if any of these have been
tripped. Consult the manuals provided with the generator before attempting maintenance on the
generator.
REFERENCE: Some electrical appliances may have their own circuit breakers. If there is an
interruption in electrical service of an appliance, consult the manual for that appliance to
determine what action to take.
