7. INSTALLING THE FRONT MAIDEN [Parts bag #7]
1.
With the Schacht logo facing out, fit the slot of the front maiden over the tenon end of the MOA until
the holes line up.
2.
Unscrew the end cap from the quick release. Leaving the spring on the lever side of the assembly, fit
the post of the quick release through the holes of the front maiden and MOA. Screw the end cap back
onto the post.
3.
Close the quick release lever to hold the maiden in place. If the lever doesn’t fully close, open the
lever and unscrew the end cap slightly until it does.
8. INSTALLING THE TENSION SPRING-AND-STRING, DRIVE BAND, AND FLYER ASSEMBLY
[Parts bag #7]
1.
Position the spring-and-string assembly so that the spring is positioned over the MOA-to-rod-end
screw (installed in Step 4.7).
2.
Guide the end of the string through the front guide eye and then through the hole on the tension
control knob (installed in Step 4.1).
3.
Tie a knot in the end of the string and turn the tension control knob a few revolutions in either
direction to take up some of the slack; you will tighten the string after choosing a tension style in Step
11.
4.
Guide the looped end of the string through either the Scotch tension or Irish tension guide eye,
depending on your desired tension style.
5.
Open the quick release and let the front maiden fall open.
6.
Slide the bobbin and then a whorl on to the flyer shaft.
7.
Fit the looped end of the tension spring-and-string around the bobbin groove for Scotch tension or the
open groove in the whorl for Irish tension. (For Irish tension, save this step until after Step 8.8).
