[QUOTE="overboard, post: 465824, member: 6547"] That big leaver is for reeling or for free spool, the smooth button that moves side to side is the clicker. Look for a knurled knob/knobs on the reel, they can be turned clockwise or counterclockwise to either tighten or loosen the tension on the free spool function, or look for a slotted screw with a locking nut centered on the opposite side of the reel and loosen up the screw and adjust the tension on the free spool function. Just looked at some on ebay, looks like the 285 has the knurled knob on the side opposite the handle, by turning that knob counter clockwise it should free up tension and allow the spool to turn freely.
