1. Thread the wire from right coil through guide (A), then through front hole in main frame.

2. Continue threading wire around front left wire pulley (B) inside of guides.

3. With needles in ”home” position, thread wire under left-hand side center wire pulley and over left needle pulley (C).

4. Pull wire back, loop around needle frame and secure with a twist (D).

5. Thread left wire through guide (E) and rear hole in main frame; then repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 on right pulleys and needle.

   When both strands of the wire have been properly threaded, trip measuring arm and turn flywheel counterclockwise by hand. Continue turning the flywheel until the needles have been all the way up, the wire is held by grippers and the needles have returned to the ”home” position.

6. Remove wire (F) from the needle frame.

NOTE: Check wire pulleys frequently to ensure that they turn freely.
