Ultradisc Drag System
The drag mechanism can be adjusted simply by turning the regulator button
clockwise to increase the drag or anti-clockwise to decrease the drag.
When the reel is not in use the drag should be set to the minimum setting.
1— Remove line and backing to ensure any
deposits are removed from the drag
cover, particularly the screw heads.
2— Remove the spool.
3— Flush away dirt by placing the spool
and frame under a stream of water
and remove all deposits to prevent
corrosion. Brushing all slots, corners
and indents with a soft brush.
4— Dry carefully with a lint free cloth.
5— Lubricate with a good quality oil at
the points illustrated in the diagrams.
6— Always turn the drag to the minimum
setting when not in use to avoid
compression of the pads and springs.
7— Always ensure the reel and line are dry
before storing in the case or pouch.
General Care
The same method of cleaning is valid for all
reels in the Ultradisc reel range.
