Maxel reels are quality manufactured with high technology and corrosion resistant materials, however, regular inspections and the following operations will ensure ultimate performance throughout many seasons.

• After each fishing trip the reel should be cleaned. First wipe or wash the reel with fresh water to remove any accumulated salt deposits. Clean it off with a dump sponge, dry it with a clean cloth, and store it in a ventilated dry place. Use the soft neoprene bag provided with you Maxel reel for storage
• Avoid contact with salt water as much as possible. Salt water can accumulate inside the internal parts
• Every time that an internal cleaning is to be performed, the mechanical components must be re-lubricated with grease. Be sure to grease threads on all external screws so that will make screws much easier to remove when servicing reels again. Do not over lubricate! Make sure that all mechanical parts are correctly re-assembled and that all screws are tightly screwed in
• Maxel recommends using our reel schematics as a guide when servicing and organize parts in the order which you remove them
• When a reel is not to be used for a long time, the drag lever must be set in the Free position. This will take off pressure on various drag components and allow internal parts to dry better if they get wet. Always store your Maxel two speed reel in a low gear position
• Periodically check your Maxel reel for any loose screws or fittings. Depending upon use, your reel should be inspected at least once every season
