The serial number of your spinning wheel is stamped into the wood on the inside of the front maiden. The number is stamped
upside down so that it can be read from above when the front maiden is open.

MAINTENANCE NOTES
Your wheel is both a carefully engineered piece of
equipment and a fine piece of furniture. A regular schedule
of care and maintenance will ensure that you and your
Flatiron spinning wheel enjoy many productive years
together.
■
Periodically clean excess fibers from all parts of your
wheel.
■
Lubricate the non-wood moving parts as needed.
■
Touch up worn or chipped wood areas with fine sandpaper
and Danish oil.
■
Check screws for tightness. (Changes in the environment
and the action of spinning can cause screws and nuts to
loosen over time.)
12.1–12.4
Bring the loop up and over the drive wheel. Make sure that the entire drive band is between the two
frame sides.
4.
Reinstall the 10-24 x 1.25" machine screws, front axle washer, 3/8-16 thin lock nut, and front axle
bearing that you removed in Step 12.1.
OILING FOR SMOOTH SPINNING.
Before spinning, be sure to oil your wheel with 30 weight
SAE motor oil. This is the oil used in our oil bottle, which
also has a fine tip for getting into tight spots.
■
The top of the footmen need to be oiled where they ride on
the crank. Insert the nozzle of the oil bottle in between the
washer and the footman and squeeze a bit of oil there.
■
Oil the flyer in four places: around the outside of the flyer
that goes into the front bearing, at the tip of the flyer where
it goes into the rear bearing, and at the two points of the
shaft where the bobbin flanges sit on the flyer. Oil again after
every bobbin change.
