Getting Started
GETTING STARTED
Manual Descent: Fast or Slow
By turning the clutch knob gently clockwise (toward
the boom), you can let your trolling weight descend as
fast or as slowly as you wish. Turning the knob counter-
clockwise (away from the boom) stops the weight. This
gives you control to let it plunge rapidly or sink slowly to
a predetermined trolling depth. With multiple downrig-
gers, you could start all your weights creeping down,
one at a time, and then stop them each in turn.
Powered Descent: One speed fits all.
Hold the toggle switch down until the weight
reaches the desired depth and release. The motor will
stop when switch is released or moved to the off posi-
tion.
Raising the Weight
Push the toggle switch up momentarily and release.
The weight will rise until it reaches the surface and then
automatically stop.
If you want to raise the weight farther push the tog-
gle switch up and hold until the weight reaches the de-
sired position, then release.
To stop the weight during ascent, push the toggle
switch down momentarily (approximately 1 second).
NOTE: If your reel continues to slip no matter how hard
you tighten the brake adjust knob. Refer to the Trouble-
shooting section of this booklet.
CAUTION: The brake adjust knob (clutch) should be
adjusted so that it is tight enough to hold the weight and
the lure at the speed you are trolling. Over-tightening
may cause damage to your downrigger when weight
hangs up on bottom structure or other obstacles.
