Page 24: Course Of Yarn
Description of knitting machine Yarn guide 2.2 2.2.1 Course of yarn The yarn feeding is carried out from the top - directly from the yarn control device to the yarn carrier. To prevent the threads from touching each other, the yarn control devices are arranged in a V-shape. In order to ensure that the course of yarn from the bobbin to the yarn carrier runs straight, there is a fixed allocation of bobbin, yarn control device and yarn carrier.
Page 25 Description of knitting machine 2.2 Yarn guide The machine is equipped as follows:  Bobbin boards for a total of 32 yarn bobbins  32 Yarn control devices  32 yarn carriers (2 yarn carriers on 16 tracks) This means: If several threads are combined in one yarn carrier it is no longer possible to use all of the 32 yarn carriers.

Page 32: Yarn Control Unit
The yarn brake setting (4) regulates the yarn tension and prevents the thread from hanging through. With the CMS ADF-3 there is a fixed allocation of bobbin, yarn control device and yarn carrier. When working with 3 threads in one yarn carrier, this allocation is no longer possible - the third thread must be threaded in a yarn control device of the next higher track.
