Caution

Precautions

1. Be careful to keep fingers clear of the levelwind mechanism. It can pinch your fingers and cause injuries.

Warning

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.

Attention

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 (displayʼs surface temperature is below -10 degrees centigrade) and mid-summer (displayʼs surface temperature is above 60 degrees centigrade).

3. When light strikes the display from certain angles, the displayʼs 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.

How to connect the reel to the power source

1. Attach the cord clips to the battery. Red covered clip is the plus

(+), and the black covered clip is the minus (-).

2. Insert the connector into the reel. After this, the display

appears as below.

By taking the appropriate steps, the indication will change as

shown below and the data will be set.

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. Please use a battery made specifically for fishing reels, such as our lithium battery pack or marine battery.

Make sure of the following before departure.

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

2. Confirm the boat can provide the proper power source (i.e. voltage, connector shape etc).

Attention

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

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.

About the counter display

The following conditions may make the display difficult to read.

1. Wearing polarized glasses.

2. Excessively cold or hot weather, mid-winter (displayʼs surface

temperature is below –10 degrees centigrade) and mid-summer (displayʼs surface temperature is above 60 degrees centigrade).

3. When light strikes the display from certain angles, the displayʼs

digits may have shadows. This does not affect its function.

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. Dry the reel well.

1. Do not submerse the reel when washing.

2. Do not use organic solvents such as benzene and thinner.

3. Do not use a steel brush or abrasive cleanser.

Attention

Maintenance

Handling and maintenance of the power cord

Follow the restrictions below to avoid cord problems. Do not cut or connect your cord by yourself as it can cause

unintended problems.

Do not hang the reel by the power cord.

Do not wash the power cord.

Maintenance of the power cord

- Wipe the power cord with a wet cloth and dry it well.

- Pay special attention to drying the tips, with cover removed.

- Grease the connector after it is dried.

- Disconnect the power cord from the reel before storing.

Do not wind the power cord around the reel body with the connector inserted into the reel.

Do not set heavy items on the power cord, or tie knots in the power cord.

Hold the connector, not the power cord, to pull the power cord from the reel

Other maintenance points

- This reel is a precision instrument that employs electric circuity and motor. Do not disassemble the reel by yourself.

- Cover the power connector on the reel with its protection cap.

- Old or worn cords can cause a bad connection and/or short circuit. Replace the cord every 2 years.

Names and functions of each part

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

Enclosed items

- Power cord

- Manual CD-R

- Storage Bag

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

- Rod Clamp

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. 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 right, which shows P1.

Tension indicatar

4. Push the power lever forward to maximum and wind the line to

its end.

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

tension indicator. Keep line tension between level 5 and 7 while winding on line.

1.Do not allow line to rub against the finger guard while winding as it will scratch the guard.

2.The motor can be overloaded when winding at very high tension for a long time (about 15

minutes). In this case, the motor will automatically stop. This does not occur while fishing

Attention

as water helps cool down the motor. If the motor stops, wind manually or move the power lever momentarily back to OFF and then resume winding. Wind the line at high speed (less tension).
