adjusting brakes in pairs?

[21farms]

i've looked through the instructions for both my citica E200 and curado E7 and neither says anything about adjusting the VBS. with my other reels, they say the brakes have to be turned on/off in pairs. i'm assuming this is NOT the case with the shimanos? in fact, the diagram in the instruction sheet shows 3 on/3 off.

Yes, in pairs opposing each other, or every other one on, as in the diagram.

You will want to use pairs for even braking of the spool. I use an "I", "Y" or "X" pattern for the weights.
