be a 1/16" space between the burgundy
bearing and the black shoulder of the
flyer.
If the flyer doesn’t move and there is no
gap, you will need to reposition the rear
bearing. Loosen the screw in the side of
the rear maiden. Slide the flyer to the rear
about 1/16" to create a space between the
flyer shaft shoulder and the orifice bear-
ing. Tighten the screw to secure the rear
bearing.
adjustIng the front bearIng
Check to see if your flyer spins freely. Re-
move the flyer, and re-install it without the
drive band or Scotch tension string. Make
sure that there is a gap between the flyer
shoulder and the orifice bearing as shown
in
Adjusting the front maiden
. Spin the
flyer. If it does not turn freely, very slightly
loosen the bearing adjustment screw on
the side of the front maiden using a Phil-
lips screwdriver. Test the flyer and adjust
the screw again if needed.
movIng the flyer hooks
Along the bottom of each flyer arm are
eight small dimples. The adjustable flyer
hooks slide along the flyer and snap into
place at each dimple. The flyer hooks
move most easily if you hold the hooks
above and below the flyer.
You can adjust the flyer hooks by tighten-
ing or loosening the screw on the bottom
of the hooks. Make small adjustments and
test.
To keep your flyer in balance, always
leave both hooks on the flyer.
a note about take-up
The bulky flyer on the cover is shown
with a slow whorl and the large end of the
bobbin facing the whorl. If you are having
problems adjusting take-up, try moving
the drive band to the other whorl groove,
and/or turning the bobbin to place the
small end toward the whorl.
