If it happens that some play arises
in the locking system of the post, it
can be repaired by adjusting the
buffer. Release the screw of the
buffer and turn it to a position so
that it pushes the bottom of the
post slightly backwards. The
locking knob should fall inside just
when the post hits the buffer.
Fasten the screw after the buffer is
turned into its proper position.
During periods when you are not spinning, we recommend that you take the
drive band out of the pulley groove, and position the drive band in front of
the pulley on the shaft.
Take care that no dirt accumulates in the hole of the pulley. At the bottom of
this hole is the locking magnet, which holds the flyer shaft in place. If some
metal parts do get into this hole, use a pair of tweezers to clear.
When treadling the wheel without actually spinning yarn, you can experience
an irritating sound. This is the result of vibrations of the bobbin, due to the
fact that there is no yarn pulling on the bobbin.
When you let the yarn quickly wind onto the bobbin with the long draw
technique, you may experience this sound as well. A drop of oil on the
bobbin bearings will solve the problem.
