Path of the yarn through the permanent brake
1. Guide the yarn downwards behind the brake discs.
2. Insert the yarn between the two brake dis
cs.
3. Pull the yarn somewhat towards the machine center
to open the brake
discs.
4. Release the yarn tension again.
T
he brake discs close and the yarn glides into the open eyelet.
Thread-up into the permanent brake only the yarn that is
processed with the friction feed wheel.
Make sure that you thread-up the yar
n vertically downwards.
With the thread also running over the friction feed wheel,
threading-up is easier if you activate the friction feed wheel
shortly (60 seconds). For this purpose activate shortly the
corresponding feed wheel ("Manual interventions" window),
see [118].
