Ratios :

 

You may find it easier 
to spin a finer yarn if 
your flyer rotates faster. 
To change ratio simply 
move the drive belt to a 
smaller flyer pulley and 
retension the drive belt.

Check the end of the 
adjusting knob is not 
protruding beneath the 
maiden bar. Then wrap 
the drive belt around the 
wheel, around the large 
flyer pulley, back around 
the wheel and around 
the small bobbin pulley.

Tie drive belt and cut off 
the extra. 

Tap the steel lazy kate 
pins into the base.

To achieve 14:1, wrap 
the brake band over the 
flyer pulley and the drive 
belt around the bob-
bin pulley. This is called 
“bobbin lead”.
