You will need to slide the motor mount 

in a rocking motion until it aligns under 

the large (low speed) or small (high 

speed) whorl at the rear of the bobbin 

and the other end of the chassis. Verify 

this visually from the side to ensure 

the drive belt is parallel with the rear 

frame. Additionally, when using the 

large whorl, swing the flyer by hand 

and observe that there is a small bit of 

clearance (just a few mm) between the 

flyer arm tips and the drive belt as the 

flyer rotates.

In Irish tension, your drive band goes 

on the bobbin and its built-in whorls, 

which allows you to have two different 

speed modes: a High Speed (small 

drum) and a Low Speed (large drum). Each flyer has two different 

drive bands. The larger drive band goes over the large bobbin drum 

and the small one goes over the flyer, or the small bobbin drum.
