Installation & Schematics
Replacing the main body is a comprehensive repair that involves transferring all internal components—including the drive gear, oscillation system, pinion gear, and anti-reverse mechanism—from the old housing to the new one. It is highly recommended to clean all parts and apply fresh reel grease during the transfer.
