Bearing Maintenance - The Class 6 A .B .E .C . bearings in the Valiant reels are teflon impregnated in the ball bearing race;
thus, no lubrication is needed for these bearings .
NOTE: Do not lubricate the two small weep holes on the bottom of the reel . These holes are for water to drain out of the
reel .
Wash down your Valiant reel with fresh water after each use . We recommend lightly spraying it to prevent water from
being forced inside . If heavy pressure is needed put the reel in the “Full” drag position . Do not completely submerge the
reel into water . Wipe the exterior parts with an anti-corrosion lubricant . Use a good quality reel oil to lubricate all the parts
indicated with the oil* symbol . We recommend Clenzoil Lube .
Periodically, check all exterior screws to make sure they are tight
. Screws may loosen over time with boat vibrations .
We recommend yearly maintenance of your Valiant reel with a service professional . Preventative maintenance of your
Valiant reel will keep the internal parts in proper working condition and prolong the life of the reel .
Storage - When storing your Valiant reel, put the reel in “Free Spool” and the clicker in the on position .
