ELECTRICAL
This article provides information about how and when to
replace coach batteries.
Replacement batteries should be the same brand and
capacity as the originals. Any time one battery is replaced,
it is important to test the rest of the batteries in the
system to make sure they are still functioning properly
and efficiently. If one defective battery is replaced, while
leaving another weak or defective battery, lowered
performance, or ultimately damaging the new or good
batteries, may result.
Battery Replacement
Charging batteries release gasses as the fluids
inside boil, so it is critical to check the battery fluid
levels regularly, particularly after extended periods
of heavy use. Be sure to top off any battery that is
showing signs of depleted fluid levels.
IMPORTANT
!
A battery wiring label is located inside of the battery
compartment and shows how the batteries are wired
together. Replacement batteries must be wired according
to the diagram shown.
On diesel coaches, the house batteries are normally
located in one of the lower compartments. The chassis
batteries are normally on the passenger side in the rear
compartment on diesel pushers and under the driver’s
side cab on the front engine on Super C coaches.
On coaches built on a Ford chassis, batteries are normally
located in the front of the coach and can be accessed by
opening the hood.
Cord Reels
This article provides an operational overview of the shore power cord reel and switch.
Cord reels (when equipped) provide the ease and convenience of storing the shore power electrical cord in a
neat and compact space with the assistance of motorized retraction. On coaches equipped with a power cord
reel, pull out the power cord, and plug it into an appropriately rated electrical outlet. Make sure the power source is providing
the correct voltage before plugging in the shore cord.
To store the cord, disconnect it from the power source outlet. Remove the cord from the pocket in the compartment, and press
and hold the momentary switch to retract and roll up the power cord as needed. The switch is typically located on the cord
reel or on the compartment door.
This article provides brief operation instructions for a Glendinning Cablemaster Power Cord Reel (Model: CRR-50).
Glendinning Cablemaster Power Cord Reel
Operation (Model: CRR-50)
Operation
To extend the power cord:
1. Pull out sufficient cord length
that will allow you to route
shore power cord to the
electrical distribution box.
2. Plug the molded end into the
receptacle.
To retract the power cord:
1. Detach plug from receptacle
using lever on plug.
2. Press and hold the button and the power cord will
automatically retract (CAUTION — it is advisable to
monitor the progress of the power cord as it retracts
and stores onto the reel).
Maintenance
Experience has shown that when only a short section of
power cable is regularly used, the cable may be subject
to “kinking”. To relieve this condition, routinely extend
the power cable completely and stretch it on any smooth
surface. Allow the Cablemaster to retract the cable onto
the reel. At least once a year, inspect all AC and DC wiring
connections and make sure they are free of corrosion and
connections tight.
Periodically inspect the exterior jacket of the power cable
for nicks or cuts. If your power cable is dirty, any cleaner
should be compatible with the outer jacket material of the
power cable.].
