REWINDING SPOOL
When rewinding be sure to wind the line in the direction of arrow
indicated on spool (Fig. 6) Plastic is a memory maIe_ai and the line
should be recoiled form the originalcoil to the spool in a way so the
built-in memory tends to keep t_e coilst_ghtto the spool. If you recoil
in the opposite direction the coilswould be loose and tend to come
unwound. To secure line to spool, place tape over approx. 11/=-of
line, then secure tape to spool Line must be wound side by side
avoiding crossoveror crisscrossingto insure proper line advancing.
DO not wind more than a total of 20 feet of line onto spool.
