Apply a drop of oil to the flyer
shaft and slide the bobbin on.
Ashford spinning wheel oil is ideal
for this purpose.
Partially locate the whorl onto the
flyer shaft and rotate the whorl
until the flat on the flyer shaft
aligns with the flat in the whorl.
Then push the whorl on.
Caution: Do not twist the whorl, only
slide the whorl on or off. If it is tight
apply a drop of oil to the end of the
flyer shaft.
To change the bobbin, grip the whorl
with one hand and the flyer with the
other and pull the whorl directly off.
Then locate the flyer into the bearings.
Thread the screw eye into the side of
the maiden bar, and screw hook into
the opposite side.
Attach the brake band.
Thread it through the
screw eye and then
tie the springs as
illustrated.
