Loading the Spool:
Typically the line of choice will be preloaded by the retailer. If not already done, it can
be easily accomplished with a 12-volt DC power source such as a standard automotive
battery.
WARNING: never use a battery charger to run the S-1200 as the power is
not clean and it can damage the circuitry and void your warranty
. Because of the
materials used, the nylon or titanium spools do not require backing. When loading the
spool it is necessary to use the level winder to establish the correct track for the line.
Once it has been fully loaded the level winder will always follow the same track keeping
the line perfectly wrapped.
Adjusting the level winder position:
If for any reason a spool is changed the same spool loading procedure must be followed.
When the spool is mounted make sure the position of the level winder matches the
location of the line on the spool. If the line is not aligned, simply pull down on the
knurled knob located under the level winder and slide it to the correct position. Pay
special attention during the first drop, to be sure the line and the winder stay in-sync.
The level winder can be removed by pulling down on the knurled knob and sliding it off
the Delrin level winder bar.
