Installation & Maintenance Tips:

To ensure the longevity of your new set plate and the overall health of your reel’s internal gearing, proper lubrication is vital. During installation:

2. Lubrication Recommendation:

   • Grease: Apply a thin, even coat of Deuthlon Reel Grease to the set plate's contact points with the drive gear and clutch cam to prevent friction wear.

   • Oil: Use Deuthlon Reel Oil on the drive shaft bearings and associated bushings for maximum rotational efficiency.

3. Alignment: Ensure the clutch pawl and spring are seated correctly within the set plate's molded channels before tightening side plate screws.
