Folding up your Spinning Wheel
Joy carry bag
Always carry it by the built
in handle or in the optional
carry bag. Do not carry it by
the flyer which could bend if
handled roughly.
Double treadle: Before folding, click the outside conrod o,
then rotate the wheel so the inside crank is to the bottom.
This avoids unnecessary stress on the conrod, flexible joint
or bearing.
Single treadle: Before folding always rotate the wheel so
the crank is to the bottom. This avoids unnecessary stress
on the conrod, flexible joint or bearing.

Ratio
Position the stretchy drive cord around the
smallest grove in the wheel and then over the
largest flyer whorl. This gives a flyer to wheel
ratio of 6:1. The other ratios are 8, 11 and 14:1.
When changing ratios ensure the drive cord
directly aligns the wheel and flyer whorl.
When spinning coarse fibres or thick yarns
use the slowest flyer speed of 6:1. For fine
fibres and yarns use a higher ratio.
Note: When not in use, always release the
tension on the drive belt by moving it to a
smaller flyer whorl.
