6. The photo shows the tripline end being pulled from the reel.
If the spring reel tension has been released, the spring reel must be re-wound before the new tripline is
installed. To wind the spring reel, complete steps 7 and 8 below, otherwise continue to step 9.
7. Wind the spring reel 24 revolutions total, or until the
reel stops, in the direction indicated by the arrow
stamped on the cover. Do not over-tension (over-
rotate) the spring reel. Over-tensioning the spring
will cause damage and may lead to failure. Back the
spring reel off until the three holes are positioned at
the top (approx. one full turn).
8. Secure with vice grips to prevent the reel from unwinding.
Before installing the new tripline, check the trip block for grooves or rifling. Also, check that the bullet
moves freely. If it does not, ream out the trip block.
9. Pass the tripline through the trip block’s bottom hole
upwards to the top.
