Spool Loading
Spool loading service available from
Hooker Electric. If spooling yourself,
use a 12V battery but do not back braid
line with mono lament line.
If a level wind is present, it
NOTE
is recommended that the rst
3/4 of the spool is loaded without the
use of the level wind. After the spool is
3/4 full and leveled, it may then be
transferred to the level wind.
Powering Your Reel
Check the position of the reel's
manual handle and release it to the
neutral position. This can be deter-
mined if the handle can spin freely in
both directions.
Turn the variable speed control
knob in the full counterclockwise
position (Off).
Plug the reel into your vessel's 12V
or 24V DC power source.
Reel models 16, 20 and 30
NOTE
Kite Reels are only 12V.
Listen for a series of beeps, then a
3 second pause, followed by a second
set of beeps. This is the signal that the
reel recognized the neutral position.
For Standard Units
The speed control knob will operate
the reel from neutral to full-speed. The
2-speed wireless remote will operate
the unit from half-speed on button B
to full-speed on button A. A second
remote may be programmed upon
request for a spare. Additional fee may
apply.
If for any reason you loose power or
choose to ght a sh manually,
UNPLUG the reel from the power
source and press the button on the
handle (low-speed) to engage the
manual operation. The reel will work
as normal with little resistance.
