New Avet Reel Question? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey guys. I picked up a new SX the other day, and after spooling line on it I went to set my drags and it seems like it goes from 0-100 with one notch forward. At strike the drag is where I want it (compared to my other SX) but when I notch it just a tiny bit forward it feels like full drag and I can't even pull line off it with my hand.

Am I supposed to grease the drags before using it? Just curious. I have another SX that I bought used and the thing works great, wanted another one so I bought new this time. Thanks in advance!
