CHANGING BOBBINS
Open the quick-release lever on the front
maiden (Figure 3). Hold the flyer with one
hand and pivot the front maiden forward
until the flyer orifice comes out of the
front maiden bearing. Hold the drive band
up and out of the way as you pull the flyer
towards you until the flyer shaft is out of
the rear maiden bearing. Remove the flyer
whorl. (Unlike most spinning wheel flyer
whorls that screw onto the flyer shaft, our
quick-attach whorls push on and pull off
the square part of the flyer shaft.) Remove
the bobbin and replace it with another
one. If you are spinning in double drive
mode, face the small end of the bobbin
toward the flyer whorl; in Scotch tension
mode, the large end of the bobbin faces
the flyer whorl.
INSTALLING THE FLYER ASSEMBLY
Open the quick-release lever on the
front maiden (Figure 3). Swing the front
maiden forward. Insert the flyer-bobbin-
whorl assembly fitting the small end
of the flyer shaft into the rear maiden
bearing. Be sure to lift the drive band up
and over the bobbin and whorl pulleys.
Pivot the front maiden up and fit the flyer
orifice into the front maiden bearing. Push
the quick-release lever away from you to
secure the flyer.
DOUBLE DRIVE MODE
We have shipped your wheel set up for
double drive mode, with a medium speed
flyer whorl. (The fast speed whorl is
attached to the wheel behind the rear
leg. Use whichever whorl you prefer and
store the unused whorl in this location,
attaching it securely with the knob.)
For double drive mode, the small end of
the bobbin faces the flyer whorl (Figure
4). Place one loop of the drive band over
the small end on the bobbin and the other
loop over one of the grooves (pulleys) of
the flyer whorl.
