Step 2: Attaching the Turning Knob to the Reel Body

Prepare the Reel Components:

• Locate the turning knob, the turning knob bolt and the upper reel body. Make sure you have the knob and the body as shown in the image below.

Position the Reel Body:

• Ensure the chamfer in the middle of the upper reel body is facing upwards. This is crucial for proper assembly and function of the reel.

Attach the Turning Knob:

• Align the base of the turning knob with the hole on the top of the reel body.
• Press the knob into place, ensuring that it fits securely. You may need to apply a slight pressure until the knob clicks or sits firmly.

This step secures the turning knob to the reel body, which is essential for the proper mechanical operation of the fishing reel. Check that the knob turns smoothly without resistance once attached.

Step 3: Aligning the Upper and Lower Reel Bodies

Prepare the Reel Components:

• Have the upper reel body with the attached turning knob ready.
• Locate the lower reel body.

Align the Reel Bodies:

• Place the upper reel body on top of the lower reel body.
• Ensure that the holes in the upper reel body align with the corresponding holes in the lower reel body. The yellow arrows in the image indicate the alignment points.

Check for Proper Fit:

• Make sure the components sit flush against each other without any gaps.
• Verify that the turning knob is correctly positioned and can rotate freely.

Step 4: Attaching the Reel to the Attach Arm

Prepare the Reel and Attach Arm:

• Have the assembled reel (upper and lower reel bodies) and the attach arm ready.
• Locate the long bolt and nut required for this step.

Align the Components:

• Position the reel against the attach arm, ensuring the holes for the bolt are aligned.

Insert the Long Bolt:

• Slide the long bolt through the aligned holes from one side of the reel, through the attach arm, and out the other side of the reel.

Secure with Nut:

• Attach the nut to the end of the bolt and tighten it to secure the reel to the attach arm. If the nut tends to come loose, consider using a small amount of glue to hold it in place.
