Maintenance:
Treat the SV-2400 the same as you would of any other high quality marine electronic
component. While the SV-2400 is completely sealed, care should be taken to minimize
its exposure to the salt water environment. If possible, remove the reel from the rod
holders when not in use. Always rinse the reel with fresh water and thoroughly dry. The
case is made from aluminum and is hard anodized to prevent corrosion, it does not
require any special care beyond that noted. If you are not using the “clicker” the speaker
under the console should be kept in the “quiet” closed position to help keep water out.
The nylon and titanium spools will not react with any type of line used and require no
maintenance. The display bezel is glass and is very durable but be careful not to place
any weight on the glass or let anything hit it as it could shatter. NEVER use abrasive
cleaners on the SV-2400, just soap and fresh water. Before any outing, test the reel prior
departure to be sure all of the features are functioning correctly.
Every season the reel should be thoroughly inspected for any damage or corrosion.
Inspect the cord for any cuts and inspect all of the electrical terminals, they should be free
of corrosion.
Current Overload Protection:
The SV-2400 has three protection circuits to prevent the reel from drawing too much
current. It has a factory set maximum drag as a first line of protection. If for any reason
this is bypassed and the reel stops operating under load, the current limiting safety has
more than likely been triggered. Simply push either of the man buttons twice and it will
reset the reel and it should continue running. If this still does not work unplug the reel
and let it set for approximately one minute without power. This clears the software and
the reel should continue to function.
Service and Storage:
Should you notice any loss in performance or have any problems operating the SV-2400
it should be returned to Lindgren-Pitman, Inc for evaluation. There are no parts inside
the reel that can be serviced except by factory technicians.
All parts are fit to exacting
tolerances and any attempt made to open either the case or display will void the
warranty.
If for any reason any of the bolts need retightening, all hardware is metric.
It
is recommended that the reel be stored in a warm and dry space such as the engine room.
Storage in the salon or other air conditioned rooms onboard can be detrimental due
sudden changes in temperature and humidity that can cause condensation inside the reel.
For long term storage it is recommended that the SV-2400 is kept in a secure temperature
controlled room off of the boat.
Important Note: Always store the reel with the drag
released, this will ensure the drag springs do not loose their compression tension.
