Adjustment of yarn tension
The adjustment of yarn tension is done in the following sequence:
1. Lateral yarn tensioner: Adjusting the restoring force on the linear regulator
(2).
2. O

3. Adjusting yarn control device
4. Adjusting permanent brake
5. Lateral yarn tensioner: Adjusting the yarn tensioning path on the lock

Adjusting restoring force 1. Remove lateral yarn tensioner
(1) from the stay.
2. Linear regulator (2) is to be set in a manner that the lateral yarn
tensioner
has enough strength to hold the thread tensioned always.
3. Control the setting while the machine is knitting
.
In this case the thread must not sag rather it should
always be tensioned
by the yarn tensioner.
This sequence should help you to find the optimal adjustment
of the yarn tension. Depending upon the type of fabric and the
yarn characteristics it is possible that you may have to change
the adjustments many times before you find the optimal
adjustment.
These adjustments are the easiest
to undertake while the
machine is knitting.
Make
sure that the braking and restoring force on all elements
is set at the lowest
possible.
