This level of cleaning and lubrication should be carried out once every 3-4 fishing trips. Because of the
conditions that this style of reel is used under (saltwater and freshwater), it is important that the reel be
rinsed off under a warm water stream after each trip. While the reel is saltwater safe, the quick rinse will
help your reel perform better in the long run. Avoid immersing the spool in water if there is backing/line
present. Moisture will be retained by the line.

opposite to the one
shown.
Remove all the old grease from the
gear
(6). You
may have to use a toothbrush or similar implement
to accomplish this.
Clean the
bearings
(7 - there is another identical
bearing opposite to the one shown) with a soft cloth
to remove all the old grease and grit that has
accumulated there.
Clean inside the
spool cavity
(8) with a soft cloth to
remove any contaminant which may have collected.
Oil and grease all of the indicated locations. You
are only required to grease the bearing opposite to
the
bearing
(7) that is shown. This
bearing (7)
will
become lubricated when it comes in contact with
the spindle.
The spindle screw, Figure 6, does not require any
lubrication. It only requires that its O-Ring (found
underneath the head of the screw) be cleaned.
The handle assembly, Figure 7, does not have to
be lubricated. Simply remove the screw holding
the handle with a flat bladed screw driver and clean
thoroughly by wiping down the base with a soft cloth
and running a cotton swab through the handle.
