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.

SCOTCH TENSION MODE

We recommend using the Bulky Flyer 
Plyer Head in Scotch tension mode. 
Install the Scotch tension spring and 
cord as follows:

 

Slide the loop end of the Scotch ten-

sion brake spring and cord under the 
rear bar, laying the loop to one side. 
You can use your threading hook to 
pull the loop up if needed. 

 

Adjust the Scotch tension peg so 

that the hole in the shaft is visible. 
Take the straight end of the cord over 
the front bar and into the hole.

 

Install the flyer, with the large end 

of the bobbin toward the back of the 
wheel. 

 

Place the loop over the large end of 

the bobbin, and the drive band over 
the whorl. The drive band should be 
taut but not overly tight.

 

Turn the Scotch tension peg to take 

up the slack in the cord, allowing the 
cord to wind around the shaft of the 
peg. 

 

If the cord slips and won’t wind up, 

you can make a double knot about 
1" from the end of the knot. We don’t 
recommend cutting the cord.
