      Jessica PhelpsAug 4, 2025
      If the display of your Shimano Fishing Equipment is black or shows all characters, this can happen when the unit is left in a hot environment, like a car boot. The display should return to normal once the temperature decreases.

    Why does my Shimano DendoUmaru 4000 Plays Fishing Equipment motor stop while winding?
    • K
      kelligarzaAug 8, 2025
      The motor of your Shimano Fishing Equipment might stop while winding if the boat’s power supply terminal or the reel’s power cord connector is rusty. Ensure all screws on the power cord connector are secure. Remove any rust and try again. Also, check the battery charge.

    Why is my Shimano DendoUmaru 4000 Plays motor not working but the display is?

      If the display of your Shimano Fishing Equipment is working but the motor isn't, it could be due to insufficient battery charge, which may cause the motor to work at low speed but not at high speed. A new battery may be required. Also, the motor may not work if the reel's temperature is below 0°C, or if the display shows less than 1m for safety reasons. Charge the battery and test the reel.

    Why is my Shimano Fishing Equipment Gunwale Stop position wrong?
    • M
      Mary JenningsAug 21, 2025
      The Gunwale Stop position on your Shimano Fishing Equipment might be wrong due to winding tension or stretched line. Perform a 0 set. Note that the Gunwale set is only possible between 1~6m, and settings between 0~1m are rounded up to 1m for safety reasons.

    Why does Shimano DendoUmaru 4000 Plays make a strange sound?
    • F
      Felicia ColonAug 26, 2025
      If your Shimano Fishing Equipment makes a strange sound even when not winding, the condenser may be vibrating due to an unstable power supply. This should not affect the reel's function, so it is safe to continue using it.

    What to do if Shimano DendoUmaru 4000 Plays display not working in cold?
    • S
      Sherry FrazierAug 30, 2025
      If nothing appears on the display of your Shimano Fishing Equipment when used in extreme cold (below -15°C), the LCD display is likely too cold. Wait for the circuit board inside the unit to warm up. When fishing in extremely cold conditions, it is recommended to keep the reel in the cabin or under cover until needed.
