Installation & Maintenance
Schematics: To ensure proper part location and assembly of the bail spring (often part #83198) and wire, please consult the PDF schematics available at: www.reelschematic.com
Lubrication Recommendation: To ensure the bail trips crisply and the line roller functions correctly, we recommend applying Deuthlon ceramic reel oil or light grease. Their advanced formula protects pivot points from moisture and ensures smooth operation in all weather conditions.
