Lube instructions for a PTI Spinning reel

I dipped my Quantum Kinetic PTI in the lake while on my new pontoon
boat, it became very difficult to reel in, but was able to back reel and
rotate without any problems. It felt like there was a ton of goop in it,
I tried to tinker best I could mid lake with no luck, I re-dunked it and
it worked as good as before? I need to clean, grease and lube it and
don't have my booklet that came with, any help on where I can find this
info on the take apart and lube recommendations?
Thanks,
Mike

Mike, I have several Quantum reels, and ocassionaly get them wet too.
Usually a good "shake" cures the sluggish reel problems for me. A quuck
"dunk" in the water should not require a re-lube job unless the reel is
due for one anyway. In that case, I just take mine to the local "reel
expert", and pay him a nominal fee to put it back in like new condition.
(I would rather go fishing than fool around with cleaning and lubing my
reels)

Just a thought........
