24-Volt Electric Dredge/Fishing Reel
Instruction and Maintenance

Thank you for purchasing the finest electric reel available. Please read this instruction
manual in its entirety before operating the reel. The L/P SV-2400 is an investment that if
taken care of, should provide many years of fishing.
Typical 24-Volt Setup
Power Requirement and Wiring: 24-volts DC Max 30Amps
Plug –Hubbell #HBL328DCP Receptacle –Hubbell #328DCR
Both Plug and Receptacle are specifically manufactured in white for Lindgren-Pitman
Use a minimum of 8 gauge or thicker tinned wire between the battery and receptacle
with a 30 amp resettable breaker or 50 amp slow blow fuse on the positive side as
close to the battery as possible. A Hi-Amp Buss swing arm breaker with a manual trip
push button is available from you local marine store or from Lindgren-Pitman. The red
wire is the positive, the black is the negative. PLEASE NOTE: do not shorten the length
of the reels cord –it will void the warranty. The reel will work with a standard lead acid
marine duty deep cycle battery.
Minimum Wire Sizes from Battery to Outlet:
0 to 10 feet - 8 AWG
10 to 20 feet –6 AWG
For runs greater than 20 feet please call customer service to discuss your options.

Mounting:
The SV-2400 weighs approximately 22 pounds with an empty spool. Please take into
account the load requirements that your rod holders can handle. We recommend that at
the very minimum your existing holders should be bracketed to the gunnel. Lindgren-
Pitman, Inc. manufactures an optional rod holder bracket suitable for mounting this reel.
As with any reel be sure it is tethered to the boat in case it breaks free from the rod
holder, a hole is provided in base clamps to facilitate this.
The SV-2400 is supplied with L/P reel base clamps shown above (the rod and rod butt are
shown for illustration purposed only and are not included) with either 80 (1.343”
diameter) or 130 (1.565” diameter) rod butt mounts to be specified at the time of
purchase. First install the two clamps to the reel with the supplied M8 Allen screws (do
not tighten) using a 6 millimeter wrench. Now take your supplied rod butt and use a
sharpie marker to mark the middle of the reel seat on the ferrule. Next, slide the rod butt
through the clamps and tighten the larger M8 screws with a 6 millimeter to a torque of 35
foot pounds. Finally adjust the butt so the sharpie line you made on the ferrule lines up to
the twelve o’clock line on the rod clamps. The reel should be on a horizontal plane in
relation to the rod butt. Once horizontal, tighten the M6 5 millimeter Allen clamp screws
to a torque of 15 foot pounds. Note: the rod clamp that has the hole for securing a line
tether is to be mounted towards the bottom of the rod butt.

Loading the Spool:
Typically the line of choice will be preloaded by the retailer
WARNING: never use a battery charger to run the SV-2400 as the power is not
clean and it can damage the circuitry and void your warranty. Because of the
materials used, the nylon or titanium spools do not require backing. When loading the
spool it is necessary to use the level winder to establish the correct track for the line.
Once it has been fully loaded the level winder will always follow the same track keeping
the line perfectly wrapped.
Adjusting the level winder position:
If for any reason a spool is changed the same spool loading procedure must be followed.
When the spool is mounted make sure the position of the level winder matches the
location of the line on the spool. If the line is not aligned, simply pull down on the
knurled knob located under the level winder and slide it to the correct position. Pay
special attention during the first drop, to be sure the line and the winder stay in-sync.
The level winder can be removed by pulling down on the knurled knob and sliding it off
the Delrin level winder bar.

CONTROL PANNEL BUTTONS
Reset / Clicker Button (Black Button)
This button works two separate features. A quick push will either activate or deactivate
the included clicker. When activated an internal speaker on the SV-2400 will make a
single beep sound for each revolution of the spool similar to that of a traditional
“clicker”. The faster the spool turns the quicker the clicks become. The clicker only
sounds during the payout of line and is silent when line is being retrieved. The speaker
for the clicker is located under the control panel and volume can be adjusted by turning
the speaker cover.
The second function of the reset button is to zero the counter. This is accomplished by
“holding” the reset button for five seconds.
The “stop at zero” feature uses this as the reference point to turn the reel off.
WARNING: Never push the reset button without first setting the rig at least 20 feet
below the top of the pole. Failure to do this could cause the fishing rig to retrieve
past the tip and the possible loss of gear and fish.
