LUBRICATION
Once a season or whenever the reel is sharpened also
lubricate the wheels and bearings. (Figure 10)
A. Remove the hub cap.
B. Remove the E-ring with a screwdriver.
C. Lift off the wheel.
D. If rust is on the axle, clean with solvent and crocus
cloth.
E. Coat the axle with light grease.
F. Take off the snap ring with a pair of snap ring pliers
and remove the pinion gear (Figure 10).
G. Pull the pawl from the reel shaft.
H. Apply light grease to the gear teeth on the inside of
the wheel.
NOTE:
•
Use the proper tool to remove the snap ring. Over-
stretching the snap ring will result in a loss of hold-
ing power and the pinion gear will come off.
•
Be sure the pawl is installed the same way it was re-
moved or the wheel will not drive.
•
Using engine oil, lightly lubricate points indicated in
(Figure 11) on roller and between the end plates and
the wheel dust covers. Periodic lubrication for these
points will ensure smooth mechanical operation.
