CLOCKWISE SPINNING

 

Hook the spring on the Scotch ten-

sion spring bar on the left side of the 
mother-of-all.

 

Place the string over the bobbin 

pulley. 

 

Insert the end of the string in the 

hole in the Scotch tension rod on the 
right side of the wheel.

 

Turn the Scotch tension rod to 

loosen or tighten the string.

COUNTER-CLOCKWISE  

SPINNING

 

Hook the spring loop on the Scotch 

tension rod on the right side (figure 
A).

INSTALL THE BULKY FRONT 

MAIDEN

 

Insert the bulky front maiden so 

that the maiden stop (black hex head 
screw) is facing the rear of the wheel.

 

Line up the hole in the bulky front 

maiden with the bolt and push it 
through to the other side. 

 

Place the two washers on the end of 

the bolt and secure with the T-knob.

INSTALL THE BULKY FLYER

 

Loosen the front maiden so that it 

can be tipped toward you as you sit in 
front of the wheel. 

 

Insert the orifice end of the flyer 

into the front maiden bearing.

 

Drape the drive band over the flyer.

 

Insert the whorl end of the flyer in 

the rear bearing. 

 

Secure the front maiden.

 

Install the drive band. We recom-

mend doubling the drive cord over 
the whorl for Scotch tension.

GETTING READY TO SPIN

We recommend using the Bulky Flyer 
Plyer Head in Scotch tension mode. 
To set your wheel up for Scotch ten-
sion, install the Scotch tension spring 
and string.
