Product Description

DAM Quick 110-492 Lever - SLS 5

Restore the heavy-duty stopping power of your surf reel with this genuine DAM Quick Lever replacement.

The 110-492 Lever serves as the Anti-Reverse Pawl (also known as the Stop Pawl or Dog) for the massive DAM Quick SLS 5. In a reel designed for big game and surf casting, the anti-reverse system must withstand extreme shock loads during hook sets and heavy fights. This pawl locks into the ratchet gear to prevent the handle from spinning backward. If your SLS 5 is slipping, failing to lock instantly, or making a clicking sound without engaging, this worn lever is the likely point of failure. This authentic part restores the structural integrity needed to handle heavy drag pressure.

Product Features

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from hardened steel to resist deformation under high-torque loads.

• Durability: Designed to endure the harsh saltwater environment and heavy mechanical stress of surf fishing.

• Essential Function: Ensures the safety of the angler by preventing dangerous handle back-spin.

Installation Notes

Installing the anti-reverse lever on the SLS 5 requires opening the main gear case.

1. Remove the spool, heavy-duty handle, and side plate screws to expose the gearbox.

2. Locate the anti-reverse pawl assembly near the main pinion gear.

3. Carefully unhook the tension spring—do not lose this spring, as it is critical for operation.

4. Remove the old lever and thoroughly clean the pivot post and ratchet teeth of old grease and salt.

5. Install the new 110-492 lever, ensuring it pivots without binding.

6. Reattach the spring and verify the locking action by turning the pinion gear by hand before sealing the reel body.
