HANDLE ASSEMBLY

Your Revo

spinning reel can be configured for right or left handed operation. To convert, unscrew the handle by rotating it counter clockwise (right). Use a

copper coin to unscrew and remove the handle knob cover on the opposite side of the reel. Insert the handle into the opposite side of the reel and rotate it

clockwise (left) until it is firmly seated. Reinstall the handle knob cover on the opposite side of the reel.

DRAG ADJUSTMENT

Control the amount of drag by turning the adjustment dial on the top of the spool. Rotate the dial clockwise (right) to increase drag or counterclockwise (left)

to decrease drag.

For best results the drag should be adjusted to approximately one-third of the breaking test of the line being used with the exception of braided lines. This can

be accomplished by tying the line to a spring scale for precise adjustment. Make sure the reel is first mounted on a rod and the line has been run though the

rod guides before tying to the scale. The drag should always release before the line reaches its breaking point. Factors such as line type, technique and fishing

conditions may require different settings. Any drag setting above half of the line strength risks line breakage.

If a spring scale is unavailable, tie the line to a secure point and engage the anti-reverse. With the rod tip up (about a 45 degree vertical angle), apply pressure

by turning the handle. Gradually tighten the drag adjusting knob on the top of the spool. When the line approaches its breaking point, loosen the adjustment

dial ¼ turn

REEL FUNCTION

Basic Casting Technique – Capture the line between your forefinger and the rod. Open the bail arm on the reel. Bring the rod backward so the tip reaches a

point above and behind the shoulder. Without stopping bring the rod back in front of the body in a single motion. Release the line as the rod is brought forward

so that the lure is launched slightly upward and outward toward your target.

MAINTENANCE

As with any precision product, your Zenon

reel will require regular maintenance. Gently rinse the reel with fresh water, wipe it dry and lubricate according to

the accompanying diagram (picture of oil and grease points).

To keep your reel working at peak efficiency, clean and lubricate after each use. At least once a season your reel should be disassembled for a thorough

cleaning and re-lubrication. Refer to the exploded parts view supplied with your reel.

Reel maintenance kits

can be purchased at your local tackle store and

include everything you need to properly

service your

reel. If you do not wish to perform this work yourself any nearby Abu Garcia

Service Center

is fully

qualified to do this for you.
