4. continue to function One of the most common reasons for this is the use of under sized wire Please make sure to use a minimum of 8 gauge wire and keep wire runs no longer than twenty feet Inspect connections for corrosion and never cut down the wire braid when making connections to power fuses and receptacles Service and Storage Should you notice any loss in performance or have any problems operating the S 1200 it should be returned to Lindgren Pitman Inc for evaluation There are no parts inside the reel that can be serviced except by factory technicians All parts are fit to exacting tolerances and any attempt made to open either the case or display will void the warranty If for any reason any of the bolts need retightening all hardware is metric It is recommended that the reel be stored in a warm and dry space such as the engine room Storage in the salon or other air conditioned room onboard can be detrimental due sudden changes in temperature and humidity that can cause condensation inside the reel For long term storage it is recommended that the S 1200 is kept in a secure temperature controlled room off of the boat Important Note Always store the reel with the drag released this will ensure the drag springs do not loose their compression tension Warranty The S 1200 is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of purchase Within this period Lindgren Pitman Inc will at its sole op
