To rewind the existing reel you must:
1. Check for the correct line size.
2. Remove the inner reel and spring.
3. Wind the reel with the new line.
4. Reinstall the existing reel and spring.
The Correct Line to Use

Removing the Existing Reel
1. Unscrew the coil lock-nut clockwise (fig.

2. Remove the inner reel (Fig. 11).
3. Use a clean cloth to clean the inside of the
outer spool (Fig.12).
4. Check the indexing teeth on the reel and
spool for wear (Fig.13). If necessary,
replace the reel and spool.
Winding the Existing Reel

the inner reel holes (Fig.14).
