Care and maintenance
The same method of cleaning is valid for all reels in the Uniqua Series 1 Reel range.
1. Remove line and backing.
2. Remove the spool.
3. Flush away dirt by placing the spool and frame under a stream of warm water.
4. Dry carefully with a lint free cloth.
5. Lubricate with a good quality oil & grease at the points illustrated on the diagrams.
6. Always ensure the spindle head is adequately greased.
7. Always turn the disc-drag to the minimum setting to
avoid compression of the pads & springs.
8. Always ensure the reel and line are dry before storing in the case or pouch.
Changing your reel from left to right hand wind
All Uniqua reels are designed to work in right and left hand wind. When you receive
your reel, it will be set for left hand wind.
To convert your reel to right hand wind:
1. Remove the spool from the frame.
2. Remove the circlip which holds the one way clutch into the pocket on the rear of
the spool. The white inner sleeve of the one way clutch is visible in left hand mode.
3. Remove the one way clutch from the spool.
4. Turn the one way clutch through 180 degrees and replace into the pocket
in the rear of the spool, the stainless steel housing will now be visible.
5. Refit the circlip to secure the one way clutch into place. Replace the spool back
into the frame, your reel should now be operating in the right hand wind mode.
Uniqua Series 1 disc-drag
The disc drag mechanism can be adjusted by simply turning the regulator button on
the face of the frame, clockwise to increase the drag, anti-clockwise to decrease the
drag. When the reel is not in use, the drag should be turned to the minimum setting.
