• DO NOT OIL, SERIOUSLY. NO OIL.

• Move drive band to smallest ratio when not spinning.

• Make sure there is no fiber or yarn caught in any of the moving parts.

Monthly things to check

• Once a month remove the tension block to rotate - inspect/replace the felt.

• Dust the wheel with furniture polish when necessary.

• Remove drive band from wheel when stored for prolonged period.

Yearly things to check

Some of these things may need to be checked or replaced more often than once a year depending on the amount of spinning you have done within the year.

• Change your drive band when necessary.

• Remove drive band residue with a rag and furniture polish when necessary.

•  Check magnet on flyer shaft. If loose, apply superglue to secure.
