Precautions
Warning
Attention
1. 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.
About the counter display
The following conditions may make the display difficult to read.
1.Wearing of polarized glasses.
2.Excessively cold or hot weather, mid-winter (display’s surface temperature is below -10 degrees centigrade) and mid-summer (display’s surface temperature is above 60 degrees centigrade).
3.When light strikes the display from certain angles, the display’s digits may have shadows. This does not affect its function.
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.

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.
To make the most of the reels performance, be sure to use the specified battery for the electric reel.
|
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.
If the display shows this when the motor is not running, then battery voltage is likely to be low. In this case, replace the battery with a recharged one.
This figure shows the voltage is 8.5 V

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.

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. Dry the reel well.
*Loosen the drag when stored.
*Be sure to remove water from inside the handle knob, because water could build up there.
|
1. |
Do not wash with seawater or soak in water. |
|
2. |
Do not use organic solvents such as benzene and thinner. |
Attention |
3. |
Do not use a steel brush or abrasive cleanser. |

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.
3 Waterproof 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.
4 Clutch
- Turning the handle automatically engages the clutch. - ON position > line winding can be done.
- OFF position > spool is free-turning to let out line.
5 Levelwind
- 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.)
6Enclosed items
-Power cord
-Levelwind threader (This tool simplifies threading line through the levelwind.)
-Rod Clamp

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. 1 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.
