against the reel (Fig. 17).

use the same amount of line as specified in Step 2.
6. Wind the inner reel counterclockwise until approxi-
mately four (4) inches of line remains outside of the
eyelets in the reel housing (Fig. 18).
7. If winding the line becomes difficult or the line jams,
pull the ends of the line away from the head and
continue winding the reel counterclockwise (Fig. 19).
