CHANGING BOBBINS
Open the quick-release lever on the front
maiden (Figure 10). 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 10). 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
11). 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.
