Balloon Control/Threading
To ensure optimal yarn performance between
the feeder and the weaving machine it may be
beneficial, especially when weaving heavier
yarns, to use a cone for balloon control. During
the initial installation the cone should be
adjusted to the outermost position, then, with
the machine running, slide the cone inwards
towards the feeder until the optimum yarn path
is obtained. The cone should then be locked
into position.
Before threading the feeder it is necessary to
remove any yarn that may be on the spool body.
To do this the magnet pin must be opened. This
can be performed using any of the following
methods:
1.
A short push on the yarn release button
will release one winding.
2. By pushing the yarn release button and
keeping it pushed the magnet pin will
remain open as long as the button is
pushed.
After the magnet pin has been opened any yarn
on the spool body can be removed.
To thread the unit proceed as follows: *
1. Hold the end of the yarn close to the input
eyelet at the rear of the feeder.
2. Push the PTU activating button and
release the yarn.
3. Take hold of the yarn end.
5. Reset the feeder (switch off/on).
* = Full threading: Ensure that the yarn eyelet is
correctly positioned under the guide (A).
