Features Include:

• Exceptionally free running line drum, with bearings of the pivotal centre-pin type.
• Fitted with a regulator by which the line drum can be controlled.
• Built in a contracted form with large diameter line drum, providing rapid recovery of line.
• The complete diameter of the front flange of the line drum is accessible for manual control and the frame is so designed to give a perfect guard to the line at any position the line may leave the reel.
• The clearance between the back flange of the line drum and the frame is extremely fine, thus avoiding the finest of Nylon lines fouling the mechanism.

LUBRICATING, CLEANING & CARE OF YOUR RAPIDEX

• To dismantle, pull aside the Release Lever at the front and lift Line Drum from the frame.
• Oil the Spindle, Check Wheel and movable parts of the check mechanism, using good quality thin oil.
• To replace Line Drum, pull aside Release Lever, to allow it to go easily into position. Do not use force.
• A little oil at the top and base of the handles adds to the sweet working of the reel
• The centre screw of the Release Cap is for the adjustment of any end-play that may develop through normal wear.

After use remove all traces of moisture and keep your reel in a dry place.
