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-

RAISE

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.

OFF

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

LOWER

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.
