Adjust the effect of the brake:
The drag knob nut (3) allows you to adjust
the brake, in order to obtain the lowest brake
effect of preference. We recommend free
spool in both directions.
1. Turn the adjustment screw (3) until
the lowest preferred brake effect has been
obtained.
2. Fasten the drag nob to the ajdustment
screw and turn the handle counter clockwise
so that the heel on the inside of the drag nob
(36) will settle to the left of the stop pin (9).
Tighten the screws on the lock with the Allen
wrench.

Maintenance of the reel:
• This reel is contructed so that maintenance is kept to a minimum. However, be sure to check
on the level of grease on the O-ring (26) inside the spool cap (27), after using the reel for
some time. We recommend Molykote 111C grease or similar.
19
• Put grease on locking screws #2 and the threads on drag knob #1 before use in saltwater.
• Rinse reel after use in saltwater. Do not remove the spool, water may penetrate the drag
system.
• After fishing or when stored, make sure to release the pressure on the drag system.
Caution! Do not touch any moving parts of the reel when a fish is running.
