Precautions

Warning

Attention

1.This product generates weak electro-magnetic waves while its power is ON, which could cause malfunction of medical equipment such as hearing aids, pacemakers and other devices. Wearers of heart pacemakers could experience variations in heartbeat or dizziness. So please, be sure to ask the manufacturer or dealer of your specific medical equipment about any potential hazards posed by the effects of electro-magnetic waves. 2. Be careful to keep fingers clear of the levelwind mechanism. It can pinch your fingers

and cause injuries.

1.If your sinker or lure is caught on the bottom, cut your line rather than jerk the rod to free it.

2.After fishing, rinse and dry the reel thoroughly. Store in a dry place.

3.Handle the reel with care. Dropping it may cause damage.

4.Do not touch the line while reel is running. It could cut your skin.

5.Use this reel for fishing purposes only.

6. Be careful not to get reel grease on your clothing.

7.Do not use metal wire for the main line.

8.Sharp impacts due to inadvertent drop or other reasons may cause reel body breakage, damage to the inner electronic components, and cracks or short circuit of the board, resulting in functional disability.

1.When you use a power source other than the battery or the power source provided by the boat, be sure it is of the proper voltage. Excess voltage will harm the reel and may generate enough heat to burn your hands.

2.Do not use badly rusted cord to prevent electrical heat.

1.Do not touch moving parts while the reel is operating or it may cause injury.

2.Drag adjustment should only be done with the auto winding functions off.

1. Do not disassemble the reel. It could result in malfunction that could damage the reel or cause personal injury.

Do not reel in the end of the line

DO NOT allow end of line to be wound onto the spool.This may cause synchronization with the levelwind to be lost, a condition that can damage the levelwind due to the reelʼs high power output. Should this happen, line should be removed from spool and rewound.

After each trip, attach line to line clip to prevent it accidentally being wound onto reel.

Set completion

1.When changing batteries, the display’s backup memory stays active for about 15 minutes after the old battery is disconnected. Thus the above display startup sequence does not

need to replay when the new battery is connected within the 15 minute time frame.

Attention

About the power source

This reel is made to accept DC 12 Volt power only. Power sources providing other than this cannot be used.

The power provided by a boat can be unstable, causing the reel to stop unintentionally. This can result in poor reel performance. Please use a battery made specifically for fishing reels, such as our lithium battery.

Make sure of the following before departure.

1. Recharge the battery before your fishing trip. Over time, a battery can naturally discharge.

Attention	2.	Confirm the boat can provide the proper power source (i.e. voltage, connector shape etc).
	3.	Corroded connections can prevent the flow of electric current. Remove any corrosion or
		dirt from the connectors.
Battery indicator
With power on, digits of the inverse counter (counter in the lower
area) will blink if voltage gets below DC 9 V.					This figure shows the

Using the Reel

1.Do not jerk your rod to free a lure or sinker stuck on the bottom. Pull the line taught with a gloved hand and cut it.

2.After maintenance, be sure to loosen the drag and store the reel in a dry place.

3.Handle the reel with care to avoid dropping and possibly damaging it.

4.Do not use metal wire as the reelʼs main line.

Maintenance

About maintenance

This is a washable reel. Wash away salt residue and grit after fishing

Maintenance procedure

1. Wash the reel with a dish washing detergent and a soft sponge. Do not use solvents.

Do not use soap or other detergents. Other soaps or solutions may damage the reel both externally and internally. The solution may damage the outside coating of the reel and may breakdown the grease inside of the reel creating an overflow of grease.

2.Rinse detergent and dirt away with running water, rinsing the spool very well to get rid of salt. Use warm water, under 30 degrees centigrade.

3.At the fishing site, spray accessory oil into the oil hole on the right sideplate.

Spray for only one second. Excessive spraying may result in an overflow of oil.

Use ONLY the oil that is included with the reel. Other types of oil may affect the overall performance of the reel.

4. Dry the reel well.

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, by 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.

-Around the auto stop depth, the power lever operation may be disabled for your safety.

3Waterproof 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.

4One hand clutch lever

-The clutch can be set OFF just by pressing down the lever lightly with your thumb.

-When the clutch setting is ON: Turning the handle winds up the line.

-When the clutch setting is OFF: Spooling can be made freely. The clutch is set ON by turning the handle in the normal direction.

5Push ON clutch button

-When the clutch is off simply push the button to engage the clutch to the on position.

-If the clutch setting is OFF, tilt the lever so that the clutch is set ON

6Levelwind

-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.)

7Enclosed items

-Power cord

-Manual CD-R

-Storage Bag

-Levelwind threader (This tool simplifies threading line through the levelwind.)

-Reel guard oil

-Rod Clamp

(For big game fishing and fishing under heavy loads, be sure to attach a rod clamp. A rod clamp of 23 to 34mm in diameter can be attached.)

Line data input (When line length is known)

This method is used when the line length is known before winding. In the example below, PE 6 – 1000m is wound.

1.Run line through the levelwind guide and tie it onto the spool. The levelwind threader makes this process easier. Make sure to tie the line onto the pin found on the spool to avoid the line slipping.

2.Move the power lever to the OFF position.

3.Connect the clip to the power source (12V DC).

4.Attach the cord connector to the reel.

See in page 2 for the connection method.

5. Press the MODE SETTING BUTTON and hold for five seconds, until the display shows 0.0.When the button is released, the display will then change to the figure on the left, which shows P1.

Make sure the drag is set firmly.

6. Push the power lever forward to maximum and wind the line to its end.

For your safety, shift to the power range mode before beginning to wind line. You can still adjust winding speed.

As the power lever is moved forward, the P1 display changes to a tension indicator.

Before winding line, use the Power Lever to adjust the tension setting displayed at the bottom left of the display panel.

Adjust to 4-5 for the Power range mode and 6-8 for the Speed range mode.

Tension indicatar

If the line is wound indoors at a low speed and with a high tension for a long period of time, the motor will be overheated, which may cause motor failure.

Attention	This issue does not need to be considered during fishing because the motor will be cooled
	by sea water.
	If winding stops, wind up the line manually before entering any figure.
