Înființat
- Atașarea mânerului: The handle of your Ryobi Virtus reel is designed to be screwed directly into the main gear for a secure fit. Ensure it is tightened firmly. The handle can typically be swapped to either side for left or right-handed retrieve.
- Spooling Line: Carefully spool your fishing line onto the reel, ensuring even distribution across the spool. Refer to the specifications table for the recommended line capacities for your specific model. Uneven line winding can lead to issues during casting.
- Reglarea rezistenței la înaintare: The Ryobi Virtus reels feature a front drag system. To adjust the drag, turn the knob on the front of the spool. Turn clockwise to increase drag tension and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Set the drag appropriate for your fishing line strength and target species.

Securely screw in the CNC handle.
Instrucțiuni de operare
- Casting: Open the bail arm, hold the line with your finger, and cast your lure or bait.
- Retrieving: Close the bail arm manually or by turning the handle. Begin reeling in your line at a steady pace.
- Using the Anti-Reverse Lever: The anti-reverse lever prevents the rotor from turning backward, allowing for solid hook sets and preventing line slack. Engage the lever when you need to prevent backward movement of the handle.

Locate and use the anti-reverse lever.
Întreţinere
Regular maintenance will extend the life and performance of your fishing reel.
- curatenie: After each use, especially in saltwater environments, rinse your reel with fresh water to remove salt, dirt, and debris. Wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
- Lubrifiere: Periodically apply a small amount of fishing reel grease to the main gear and a drop of oil to the bearings and other moving parts. Do not over-lubricate.
- Inspecţie: Regularly check for any loose screws, worn parts, or damage. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
Depanare
- Handle Stem is Bent/Crooked: If the handle stem is bent or crooked, causing vibration during retrieve, this indicates a manufacturing defect or damage. It is recommended to contact customer support for assistance.
- Line Loops Not Dropping (Poor Line Lay): If the reel is consistently dropping loops or has uneven line lay, check the line roller for obstructions or damage. Ensure the line is spooled correctly and not overfilled. Some users report good line lay with 0.16mm line.
- Small Play in Main Gear: A slight play in the main gear might be present in some units. This can sometimes be reduced by adding a thin washer under the main gear cover, but this should only be attempted by experienced users or a professional.
