ATTACHING SNAPS
DANGER: Make certain the baited hook, leaded swivel and leader line are overboard before attaching snap
to mainline. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury from entanglement in
the leader.
Attach snaps at least one foot away from line setter exit. Use a downward motion when attaching a snap or grab-
bing the line. Impeding the line near the exit may cause the line to jump off the internal drive rollers.
CONTROLS
Power
The pulling power of the line setter can be preset at the line setter. It is controlled by a pressure relief valve across
the motor hydraulic circuit. Loosening the jam or locking nut will allow for rotating the large set screw type adjust-
ment cap. Clockwise rotation will increase the pressure and pulling power and counter clockwise will decrease the
pressure and pulling power of the line setter. The pressure should be adjusted such that the drive motor does not
have sufficient power to slip the drive wheel but high enough to pull line from the spool at sufficient speed. If slipping
occurs the drive roller and the line will be damaged. Pressure factory set at 1000 PSI.
Speed
The line setter has a speed control mounted on the unit. The speed can be adjusted faster or slower to obtain the
desired line set. If sufficient speed cannot be obtained check for the following:
a. Hydraulic source has sufficient volume
b. Storage spool freewheels easily
c. Power control adjusted to a sufficient pressure
Speed Indicator (optional]
The Lindgren-Pitman line setter has a speed indicator programmed to display the line exit speed in knots and tenths
of a knot. It is powered by the magnetic pickup and requires no external power. With the use of an extension cable
from the magnetic pick up to the display unit it can be remote mounted.
The optional digital readout should display the line exit speed to the nearest tenth of a knot whenever the drive
wheels operate with an.update of approximately 1-2 seconds.
The depth of the line set is dependent upon the following factors:
1. Length of the buoy line.
2. The ratio of the line setter speed to the boat speed.
3. Distance between the buoys.
4. Length of the leader line.
The chart in the appendix will approximate the line depth using these four factors:
