THREAD TENSION
To increase the Tension, turn Tension Thumb Nut S-583 to the right,
and to decrease, turn to the left. (See figure No. 8).
WAX STRIPPER ADJUSTMENT
To replace Wax Stripper S-573, remove
Stripper Screw S-574 and take out old
Stripper, insert new Stripper and replace
Stripper Screw. (See figure No. 9).
CAUTION: Do not tighten rubber stripper too tight as this tends to increase tension.
TO REMOVE WHIRL
Remove the Horn Cap S-503 by taking out two Fas-
tening Screws, S-504 and S-505, so that the Horn Tip
S-502 can be raised enough to allow removal of Whirl.
(See figure No. 10).
TO REPLACE AND TIME WHIRL
Care must be taken to see that the Whirl S-507 is cor-
rectly timed. Two settings of the machine are neces-
sary. 1st - Revolve the machine by hand until the ar-
row on the Feed Cam S-255 coincides with the Arrow
on the Main Head (See figure No. 5). 2nd - Set the
Horn at the left until the marks on the Horn and Horn
Table coincide. (See figure No. 11).
With these settings arranged, insert the Whirl so that
the small hole in Whirl coincides with mark on Horn
Tip (See figure No. 10). Push the Horn Tip down,
replace Horn Cap and fasten securely with two Screws.
