Irish tension provides more takeup, 

or pulling in of the yarn, than 

Scotch tension. Changing to Irish 

tension is as easy as removing the 

flyer, tension belt, and motor drive 

belt.

First, detach the motor and its 

mount by pushing down on one 

edge with both thumbs. The other 

side now comes free easily.

Turn the motor so that it now faces 

the rear, and snap it back onto 

the carbon tubes. Place the motor 

drive belt over the rear frame and 

re-install the flyer. 

Install the motor drive belt over 

the bobbin’s small whorl. Verify 

the alignment of the clear motor

drive belt (it being parallel to the 

rear frame) or gently slide the 

motor until it aligns directly under 

the small whorl of the bobbin.

Install the tension belt at the front, 

over the flyer groove. Please note 

that your direction switch will 

be opposite in Irish tension as 

compared to Scotch (meaning that 

I is now S and II is now Z).
