Cleaning Your Reel
(When you notice a deterioration in spool rotation.)
•
If the spool is not rotating as smoothly as usual even after normal
maintenance then this may indicate that there is a build-up of salt
in the bearing near the handle.
* Remove the power cord.
1. Carefully immerse the reel
in freshwater up to spool as
shown in the diagram. Do NOT
immerse the whole reel. Rotate
the spool to dissolve the salt
and regain performance.
2. Remove the reel from the water and hold it up with the connector
side facing down to ensure that the water completely drains from
inside the reel.
If that does not improve the situation, please contact your
nearest sales office to have the reel overhauled.
Immerse up to
this point.

Precautions
•
One of the characteristics of powered reels is that even though the
motor is ON, sometimes line will not get wound in if a fish is hooked
because the drag is slipping. This is similar to an automobile going
along with the handbrake on. If this goes on for a long time, then the
grease in the drag will be burn off and eventually the drag will burn
out. Take care not to allow this to happen as it could destroy the
entire reel.
•
When the line is caught, do NOT exert excessive force on the rod or
reel. Instead, please cut the line after taking care to minimize the
amount of line left in the fishing ground.
•
Please take care when handling the reel. Never throw it in your bag or
allow it to bang against other items during transportation.
•
NEVER drop or hit the reel. Treat it carefully.
•
Take care not to hit the back of the reel or bend the power cord when
putting the reel into a rod stand. Take special care not to trap the
power cord between the reel and the gunwale.
•
Some types of polarizing sunglasses make it difficult to properly view
the display.
•
After winding in a heavy load, take care when dropping the rig and
winding it in the next time as the rig may get tangled with the tip of
the rod.
•
If the resin footing of the reel is secured to a metal reel mount,
this may damage the resin and can ultimately damage the whole
reel. Please make sure the resin protector is properly in place when
attaching the reel to a metal mount.
