OPERATION
CIRCUIT BREAKER OVERLOAD PROTECTION
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: UNPLUG UNIT BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE.
Remove dirt
and grime as soon as it accumulates. Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap, if
needed. Be sure not to get the electrical plug wet.
NEVER
submerge any part of the
Cord Reel in any solution to clean it.
DO NOT USE
solvents such as gasoline,
turpentine, etc. to clean unit.Keep reel cord clean to assure smoothest automatic
retraction. To clean, simply pull cord to its full length and allow to retract through a
dampened rag. Pull out full length again and allow to retract through clean rag
sprinkled with talcum powder.
DRY THOROUGHLY BEFORE PLUGGING BACK INTO OUTLET.
The reset button for the circuit breaker is located on the side of Tri-Tap. If unit is
overloaded circuit breaker will trip (black reset button will pop out).Remove
overload, wait two minutes, then reset by pressing black button.
Plug power cord into any 110-125V standard wall outlet. The red LED in the
Tri-Tap will light indicating the outlets are energized. If the indicator does not light,
check power source. Plug up to three (3) electrical appliances into the Tri-Tap
outlet. Pull cord to approximate desired length. Continue pulling the cord out
slowly. When a clicking sound is heard, stop pulling the cord. The cord is now
locked in place and is ready for use. To retract, pull the cord out slowly until the
clicking sound stops. The cord is now unlocked and ready to retract fully.
CAUTION!
To avoid possible injury.
DO NOT
allow the cord to fly unrestricted back
into the reel. Guide the cord back into the reel by hand to control retraction speed.
NOTE:
Outlet is un-switched and energized at all time.
DO NOT OVERLOAD !
1. Pick the approximate location for the reel within 2 1/2 ft of a 110-125V
Standard Ground Outlet.
2. Locate a stud to install the mounting bracket. The bracket will be placed
against the wall vertically, directly over the center of the stud.
3. Using the bracket as a template, mark the (3) screw locations with pencil.
(Fig.1)
4. Pre Drill (Pilot) the three screw holes with the use of at 1/4" drill. The depth
of the Pilot holes should be at least 2".
5 . Install the bracket with the (3) provided Hex head wood screws with washers
using a 1/2" wrench or socket. Tighten all three until snug.
6. The reel can now be installed into the bracket. The following installation will
allow smooth retraction:
a. When the mounting height is less than 5 ft, the reel should be positioned
so that the cord opening face upward (Fig. 3).
WARNING:
Slide the locking pin (C) thru the Mounting Pin (B) for security.
It will prevent the mounting pin from sliding out of position.
NOTE:
When Ceiling Mounting is to be against a steel beam, a Professional
Installer should use minimum 1/4" bolts with lock washers or locking nuts.
1. Pick the approximate location for the reel within 2 1/2 ft. of a 110-125V
Standard Ground Outlet.
2. Locate a joist or beam to install the mounting bracket. The bracket should be
placed directly over the center of the joist or beam.
3. Using the bracket as a template, mark the (3) screw locations with pencil.
(Fig.1)
4. Pre Drill (Pilot) the three screw holes with the use of at 1/4" drill. The depth of
the Pilot holes should be at least 2".
5. Install the bracket with the (3) provided hex head wood screws with washers
using a 1/2" wrench or socket. Tighten all three until snug.
6. The reel can now be installed into the bracket. (Fig.5)
