INTRODUCTION

Updating a classic, the CFO tastefully blends modern performance-

enhancing design and technology under a traditional-looking skin.

Features include:

• Two internal radial stainless steel reel bearings.

• Line guard is machined into the reel cage.

• Modified machined design is lighter.

• Impregnated wood handle.

• Brown/bronze anodised matte finish.

• Disc drag.

DRAG OPERATION

Orvis CFO Disc Reels feature an adjustable disc drag system. The

pressure exerted on the disc determines the drag pres-

sure and may be adjusted by turning the drag adjustment

knob located on the back of the reel frame.

To increase the drag, turn the drag adjustment knob

(A) clockwise. To decrease it, turn the knob coun-

terclockwise. Sufficient drag pressure must always be

applied when fighting a fish to prevent line overrun.

Additional drag may be applied by palming the spool

rim with you fingertips or palm.

SPOOL REMOVAL

The spool release latch is located in the middle of the reel spool. To

remove the spool, depress the spool release latch (B) while lifting the

spool out of the reel frame.

RETRIEVAL CONVERSION

Your new CFO Reel has the drag pawl factory-

installed for left-hand wind.

To change your CFO Reel to right-hand wind,

depress the spool latch release and remove the spool. On

the backside of the spool, you will see a spool gear that

has screws fastening it to the spool.

1. Remove the screws and then remove the spool gear from the spool.

2. Find the clutch bearing. It will either be inside the spool gear or still

on the spool.

• If the bearing stays with the gear upon removal, use a small

screwdriver to push the bearing out.

• If the bearing was in the spool upon removal of

the spool gear, use a pair of pliers to remove it

from the spool.

3. Remove the bearing, flip it over, and replace it in

the spool gear.

4. Replace spool gear with the three clutch screws.

5. After you have reassembled the spool gear, remove

the click pawl, flip it over, and replace it on the reel frame to com-

plete the conversion.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

While your new CFO reel has been properly lubricated prior to

purchase, it should be cleaned and lubricated after extensive use or after

contact with dirt, sand, or salt water. Your reel should also be cleaned and

lubricated twice each year.

To clean your reel, we recommend using a soft cloth and a small brush.

Wipe off old grease and oil from the inside of the frame and the centre

shaft. Then clean sand and grit from around the disc drag system.

Use a good grade medium oil to lubricate the centre shaft and the

bearing located in the back of the spool. After lubrication, check screws

for proper tightness.
