I bout a new 4000-2b and didn't realize that spool spins backwards. Is the nob on the front of it supposed to keep it from spinning backwards

There is a black switch on the underside of the spool which will prevent backspin

The knob adjusts the drag. The objective is to tighten the knob to the point that the spool will let out line if the line is close to breaking. If you get a big fish and it is pulling hard enough, line should come off the reel by the spool spinning backwards. As the fish tires and you reel in you get the line back on the spool. If the knob is too loose it is difficult to fish. If it is too tight the line will break. Adjust the knob to where if you give the line a good tug some will come off the reel.

The knob on front is the drag tension. Tighten it and the spool wont spin unless too much pressure is applied when a monster size fish gets on the hook.

I had same problem. I was using a 4000psi and it was like a flying saucer! Anyway it stopped spinning and I threw it on the bench and took apart bottom plastic bearing, cleaned it up a bit and tighten back up where it would spin freely by hand. it's kind of adjustable and it worked good again. Not that high of quality.

Same thing happened to me on first try. Call Barnett and they will send you a new spool properlywound with new cord. Be sure to loop new replacement cord to rear of stock frame before cocking.

The line that comes with the reel is backing with level fly line. I recommend gettin WF6f fly line and new backing to reeplace the stock line. keep the stock line as a backup.

Have had no issues like that - actually no issues at all with the unit. I'm sure you have already but I would make sure the cable didn't get off the spool, if it is bound up that could cause the problem. <edit> Appears I had the same general idea as previous poster.

The company web sit may have that info. Meantime, flatten it in vise and maybe use a washer over it. A local machine shop would make a better one for a couple bucks

I think it is possible to rewind but I bought the replacement spool which appears to be easy to install. It has been a pleasure to use this item. I recommend it. Dean

There is a small adjustment at the top of the circuit board when you open itOld model was higher one direction, new is the opposite direction. It works great when cranked up.

to be honest with you when it was installed by my electrician he adjusted it. If I am not wrong there should be a switch on the motor to reverse. You should try this and see or read the instructions details. Sorry cant be of more help. It is a great fan and reliable. Great BUY!!

Make sure you properly installed the spool according to instructions. your string might be improperly wound...

I don't know if it is a speed spool or not but it kept jamming on me and I swapped it with a unit from my old Ryobi and all is good.

Google your brand, LST400, and see what you come up with. That is how I found my spools. If you have a model or serial number, you will get what you need by googling that.

The threads are reverse. It took me a good bit to figure that out. Turn the nut the opposite way... Righty loosey. Good luck

Good grief. That sucks. I suppose it depends on which bit broke. I assume it's the reverse thread end. Maybe it snapped deep enough that another try will grip enough to pull the whole thing out. Most auto part stores will loan them. If not I'm afraid it's a head pull.

No, unlike the 4000FI and other previous models, the 4000FL does not come with a second spool.

Yep, turned out whoever assembled my saw put the chain on backwards! Now that I've fixed it the saw works very well. I just hope I didn't cause any permanent damage running the motor for so long.

Line does not come on the reel spool when you receive it. Line is very easy to put on the spool and you should have no problem doing this.You can go on to the Penn web site and you will fined the information concerning extra reel spools for the Penn FRC6000.ThanksBill
