housing.

Premium grease.
3. If installing a new recoil rope on the reel, use a utility
knife to remove the silicone from the knot housing on

double overhand stopper knot to secure the new rope
to the reel.
5. After tieing the knot, push the knot into the housing so
that it is flush with the outer surface. Fill the knot
housing with RTV-Black silicone and allow to cure.
6. Wind the rope counterclockwise around the reel as
viewed from the ratchet-side of the reel.
7. Pass the end of the rope through the hole in the
housing. If the rope guide was removed from the
housing, reinstall it before attaching the rope handle.
8. Slide the reel
w
down the center shaft and into the
housing making sure the recoil spring re-engages the
reel tab.
