DO NOT allow end of line to be wound onto the spool.This may cause synchronization with the levelwind to
be lost, a condition that can damage the levelwind due to the reelʼs high power output. Should this happen,
line should be removed from spool and rewound.
After each trip, attach line to line clip to prevent it accidentally being wound onto reel.
Caution
Precautions
Warning
Attention
1. When electricity is applied, a weak radio wave is generated and may effect hearing aids, cardiac
pacemakers, and other medical devices causing malfunctions.
Especially for those who use a cardiac pacemaker, the electric reel may cause palpitations and
dizziness, so you should consult the manufacturer of your electrical medical device or the
distributor for the effect of radio waves.
2. Be careful to keep fingers clear of the levelwind mechanism. It can pinch your fingers and cause
injuries.
3.While feeding the line (with the motor on), the line may be caught in the reel when the clutch is
turned on. Be careful not to have your fingers caught in it. Injury may result.
1. If your sinker or lure is caught on the bottom, cut your line rather than jerk the rod to free
it.(Protect your hands with gloves or a towel.)
2. After fishing, rinse and dry the reel thoroughly. Store in a dry place.
3. Handle the reel with care. Dropping it may cause damage.
4. Do not touch the line while reel is running. It could cut your skin.
5. Use this reel for fishing purposes only.
6. Be careful not to get reel grease on your clothing.
7. Do not use metal wire for the main line.
8. Dropping or other shocks to the reel may cause the reel or internal electronic components to
break, leak, crack or malfunction due to short circuit.
Do not strongly jar or apply heavy pressure when in use.
1. Do not disassemble the reel. It could result in malfunction that could damage the reel or cause
personal injury.
1. Do not touch moving parts while the reel is operating or it may cause injury.
2. Drag adjustment should only be done with the auto winding functions off.
1. When you use a power source other than the battery or the power source provided by the boat,
be sure it is of the proper voltage. Excess voltage will harm the reel and may generate enough
heat to burn your hands.
2. A heavily rusted cord may generate heat, so please do not use it.

Power source
How to connect the reel to the power source
About the power source
Battery indicator
1. Attach the cord clips to the battery. Red covered clip is the plus
(+), and the black covered clip is the minus (-).
2. Insert the connector into the reel. After this, the display
appears as below.
This reel is made to accept DC 12 Volt power only. Power sources
providing other than this cannot be used.
The power provided by a boat can be unstable, causing the reel to
stop unintentionally. Please use a battery made specifically for
fishing reels, such as our Energy Pack.
With power on, digits of the inverse counter (counter in the lower
area) will blink if voltage gets below DC 9 V.
If the display shows this when the motor is not running, then
battery voltage is likely to be low. In this case, replace the battery
with a recharged one.
0.5 sec
Attention
1.When changing batteries, the display’s backup memory stays active for about 10 minutes
after the old battery is disconnected. Thus the above display startup sequence does not
need to replay when the new battery is connected within the 15 minute time frame.
Attention
Make sure of the following before departure.
1. Recharge the battery before your fishing trip. Over time, a battery can naturally discharge.
2. Confirm the boat can provide the proper power source (i.e. voltage, connector shape etc).
3. Corroded connections can prevent the flow of electric current. Remove any corrosion or
dirt from the connectors.
This figure shows the
voltage is 8.5 V

- It adjusts brake tension on the spool to prevent backlash or line slack caused by dropping the line with hook and
sinker.
- You can freely adjust winding power, or winding speed, from zero(ON/OFF) to maximum, by 32 steps, by using
the lever.
- Tilting the lever forward adds power and speeds up the winding.
- Pulling the lever back slows down the winding.
- Without the lever positioned to OFF, it is impossible to start winding. You have to pull it back to the OFF position
before you start winding. An audible sound indicates the OFF position.
- The power lever is used to set numerical values on the various function displays.
- Adjusting the star drag allows the spool to slip against a strong pull to avoid line breakage.
(1) Adjust the drag while reel is on the rod and the line is strung through all the line guides.
(2) Adjust drag with the clutch ON, while pulling the line with your hands. Normally, the drag is adjusted to prevent
the weakest line in the line system from breaking.
- Turning the handle automatically engages the clutch.
- ON position > line winding can be done.
- OFF position > spool is free-turning to let out line.
- The levelwind distributes line evenly on the spool as you wind it in.
(Under some special circumstances line may not wind evenly because of the clearance between the levelwind
and the line.)

Line data input (with Input Roller)
Attention
1.Do not allow line to rub against the finger guard while winding as it will scratch the guard.
2. When the line is wound indoors for a long time (15 min. or more) at a high tension, the
motor may heat up abnormally and cause problems, such as deterioration of winding
power, speed, etc., so electric winding is stopped automatically. Input line at as a high
speed as possible. When actually fishing, there will be no problem because it is cooled
down with sea water, etc. When it stops, wind up manually or pull the power lever back
up and down again towards the MAX side to rewind it and re-input line.
3.Do not wind the end of the line onto the spool because it causes incorrect length
calculation. Move the power lever to OFF, and wind manually when nearing the end of the
line.

Attention
1.Do not allow line to rub against the finger guard while winding as it will scratch the guard.
2.The motor can be overloaded when winding at very high tension for a long time (about 15
minutes). In this case, the motor will automatically stop. This does not occur while fishing
as water helps cool down the motor. If the motor stops, wind manually or move the
power lever momentarily back to OFF and then resume winding. Wind the line at high
speed (less tension).
Line data input (When line length is known---P1)
This method is used when the line length is known before winding. In the example below,
PE 6 – 700m is wound.
1. Run line through the levelwind guide and tie it onto the spool.
The levelwind threader makes this process easier. Make sure to
tie the line onto the pin found on the spool to avoid the line
slipping.
