Take approximately 5 metres of line. Insert 15mm of line into one of the holes in the upper section of the spool (T) and wind line in the direction of the arrows on the top of the spool. Leave approximately 100mm of line unwound and place into cleat as illustrated in figure T1. Repeat on lower section of spool.
