General Care

The same method of cleaning is valid for all reels in the Ultradisc reel range.

1. Remove line and backing to ensure any deposits are removed from the drag cover, particularly the screw heads.
2. Remove the spool.
3. Flush away dirt by placing the spool and frame under a stream of water and remove all deposits to prevent corrosion. Brushing all slots, corners and indents with a soft brush.
4. Dry carefully with a lint free cloth.
5. Lubricate with a good quality oil at the points illustrated in the diagrams.
6. Always turn the drag to the minimum setting when not in use to avoid compression of the pads and springs.
7. Always ensure the reel and line are dry before storing in the case or pouch.

Change your reel from left to right hand wind

All Hardy Ultradisc reels are designed to work in right or left hand wind. When you receive your reel, it will be set for left hand wind.

To convert your reel to right hand wind:

1. Remove spool from frame, unscrew the captive spool nut anti-clockwise. Set the spool aside.
2. Unscrew clutch bearing cover, turn anti-clockwise and remove, to facilitate this have the drag set on full.
3. Remove the one-way clutch bearing, do this by gently tapping the frame face down in the palm of your hand noting which way it comes out.
4. Rotate the one-way clutch bearing 180 degrees and replace back into the spool axle.
5. Replace the clutch bearing cover turning clockwise.
6. Replace the spool.

Ultradisc Drag System

The drag mechanism can be adjusted simply by turning the regulator button clockwise to increase the drag or anti-clockwise to decrease the drag.
When the reel is not in use the drag should be set to the minimum setting.
