rag. Use either Deft or Watco natural color Danish oil. Both are available at most
hardware stores. Follow the directions on the container. Because of the dangers of
spontaneous combustion, be sure to clean and dispose of the applicators and oily
rags according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Lubricating the moving parts
Before leaving the factory, your wheel was lubricated and tested. It may have
been awhile since then, so it is a good idea to oil your wheel before starting to spin.
Use a drop of oil on the following parts every couple of hours while spinning:
front maiden bearing
•
rear bearing
•
bobbin bearings
•
drive wheel bearings
•
crank bearing(s) - sparingly
•
The flyer shaft should also be oiled where it touches the front and rear bearings
and the bobbin bearings.
Use medium weight oil such as 20 or 30 weight motor oil.
