HOW TO ADJUST AND USE THE RIBBING ATTACHMENT.
Do Not Undertake to Use the Ribber Until You Have First Learned to
Knit Plain and Understand the Machine.
Read These Instructions all over Carefully Before Using the Ribber.
The Ribber dial carringy 24 needles, works with the 72 cylinder only. To adjust the Ribber, have all the work off the Machine and all the needles in the 72 cylinder. With the needles out of the ribber dial, place the ribber post and dial in position by putting the post with the slot over the lug on the cam-ring. Now drop the ribber down exactly in the center of the cylinder, just so the ribber needles when in, pass under the thread carrier. In this position fasten the ribber post to the cam-ring with the screw. Now turn the Machine forward until the pin extending from the under side of the ribber dial strikes and rests against the lug on the inside of the cylinder. See that the ribber is in the center. Now take every third needle out of the cylinder just opposite the grooves in the ribber dial, and put the short needles in the ribber. This will fill all the spaces - 48 needles in the cylinder and 24 in the ribber, then turn forward and see that the shanks of the ribber needles enter the cam and pass under the thread carrier No. 8. With the ribber thus in position, turn the Machine forward a few rounds to see that the adjustment is all right, - stopping with the cam on the back part of the Machine.
If the needles in the ribber should not come exactly between those in the cylinder, the pin in the ribber dial can be bent a little.
Should the carrier be too low or too high, either in ribbing or plain knitting; it can be adjusted by the screw that fastens it to the cam-ring.
Now remove the ribber, by taking out the screw that fastens the post to the cam-ring,
