yoke (Figure 7). Thread the 1-1/2" yoke
screw through the split lock and metal
washers, then through the bottom
of the treadle. Screw the yoke screw
into the treadle yoke with a Phillips
screwdriver. Leave approximately 1/4"

Attach the footman assemblies to
the crank (Figure 8). Using the external

first two bends and center it between
the second and third bend. Add a large
nylon washer, then the footman (with
the wood part facing away from the
back of the wheel), another large nylon
washer, then another e-clip. Slide the
second footman about 1/2" onto the
crank, a large nylon washer, footman
assembly (with the wood part facing
away from the back of the wheel), a
large nylon washer, and another e-clip.
Turn the crank and make sure footmen
don’t hit anything; if necessary, adjust
placement of footmen on the crank by
moving the e-clips.
