Care and maintenance
The same method of cleaning is valid for all reels in the
freshwater Ultralite DD 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 fresh water.
4. Dry carefully with a lint free cloth.
5. Lubricate with a good quality oil at the points
illustrated on the diagrams.
6. Always ensure the spindle is adequately greased.
7. Always turn the disc-drag to the minimum setting to
avoid compression of the system.
8. Always ensure the reel and line are dry before
storing in the case or pouch.
Change your reel from left to right hand wind
All Ultralite DD Reels are designed to work in right or 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 out of the frame by turning the captive
spool securing nut anti-clockwise until it disengages from the
spindle thread. Note: the nut will stay attached to the spool.
2. Pick up the spool so that the clutch securing nut is visible.
3. Usingyourthumb&forenger,removetheclutchsecuring
nut by turning anti clockwise. Use the ears as a lever.
4. The one way clutch holder is now visible, remove this from
the drum by rotating the drum 180 degrees. Place your palm
underneath the clutch as you tilt the spool in order to catch
the clutch.
5. Turn the clutch holder through 180 degrees and replace it back
in the spool housing. The end of the clutch unit with the stainless
steel showing should now be upright and visible.
6. Usingyourthumb&forenger,replacetheclutchsecuring
nut by turning clockwise.
7. Replace the spool into the frame – your reel should now be
right hand wind.

Ultralite Disc-Drag
The disc-drag mechanism can be adjusted by simply turning the

the drag should be turned to the minimum setting.
