Irish tension provides more takeup,
or pulling in of the yarn, than
Scotch tension. Changing to Irish
tension is as easy as removing the
flyer, tension belt, and motor drive
belt.
First, detach the motor and its
mount by pushing down on one
edge with both thumbs. The other
side now comes free easily.
Turn the motor so that it now faces
the rear, and snap it back onto
the carbon tubes. Place the motor
drive belt over the rear frame and
re-install the flyer.
Install the motor drive belt over
the bobbin’s small whorl. Verify
the alignment of the clear motor
drive belt to the rear frame. If
needed gently slide the motor
until it aligns directly underneath
the small whorl of the bobbin.
Install the tension belt at the front,
over the flyer groove. Please note
that your direction switch will
be opposite in Irish tension as
compared to Scotch (meaning that
I is S and II is now Z).
