Names and functions of each part
1
Free spool adjustment
- It adjusts brake tension on the spool to prevent backlash or line slack caused by dropping the line with hook and
sinker.
2
Power lever
- You can freely adjust winding power, or winding speed, from zero (ON/OFF) to maximum, in 32 steps, by using
the lever.
- Tilting the lever forward adds power and speeds up the winding.
- Pulling the lever back slows down the winding.
- Without the lever positioned to OFF, it is impossible to start winding. You have to pull it back to the OFF position
before you start winding. An audible sound indicates the OFF position.
- The power lever is used to set numerical values on the various function displays.
3
Waterproof Tournament drag
- Adjusting the star drag allows the spool to slip against a strong pull to avoid line breakage.
(1) Adjust the drag while reel is on the rod and the line is strung through all the line guides.
(2) Adjust drag with the clutch ON, while pulling the line with your hands. Normally, the drag is adjusted to prevent
the weakest line in the line system from breaking.
-When pulling out the line, use a towel or gloves to protect your hands.
4
Clutch
- Turning the handle automatically engages the clutch.
- ON position > line winding can be done.
- OFF position > spool is free-turning to let out line.
5
Levelwind
- The levelwind distributes line evenly on the spool as you wind it in.
(Under some special circumstances line may not wind evenly because of the clearance
between the levelwind and the line.)
- Be ware of line moving left to right as it is being wound.
To avoid injury, be careful not to catch your fingers, etc.
6
Enclosed items
- Power cord
- Manual CD-R
- Storage Bag
- Levelwind threader (This tool simplifies threading line through the levelwind.)
