Arctic Leash Installation Manual and Videos

Welcome to the Arctic Leash installation & information centre.
Here you will find all the helpful tips & techniques you will require, to easily install our heavy duty retractable extension cord reel, right to your vehicle's engine block heater. Use the manual or watch the video.

NOTE:

The Arctic Leash comes with a comprehensive installation package for your convenience. The mounting package has a complete how-to guide, plus tips on how to maintain your Arctic Leash.

However, If you need to have the retractable engine block heater cord reel professionally installed, any qualified automotive service shop or dealership should be able to install it for you with approximately half hour to an hour of shop time.

1. Trial fit the Arctic Leash on the vehicle to determine a good mounting location. Arrow on the case should point down.

  • cord should pull straight out from case to receptacle
  • cord should not contact any sharp surface during it's operation
  • avoid location open to rocks or road debris
  • two good choices: behind the bumper or ahead of the wheel well

2. Install using the provided mounting kit that includes brackets, screws, grommet, and manual.

3. Check that the unit is mounted securely in place.

4. Connect female end of cord to vehicle's engine block heater cord.

5 Pull out the cord to double check that it does not contact any sharp surface during operation.
