Instructions for changing tension check spring

[Cheri Collins]

I have misplaced the instruction sheet that came with the new check springs.  I need to know the order with which I can replace all the parts.  Thanks in advance for any help someone may offer.

I'm not sure what you're referring to as "check springs", but guess you mean the thread take-up spring on the tension assembly.  If you remove the tension assembly and examine how it's assembled, you should get a pretty good idea how it all works.  The take-up spring is tensioned by the set screw that holds assembly to the main shaft.  Turning the assembly one direction or the other increases or decreases tension, and then setting the screw holds the desired pressure.

The disk spring tension is controlled by the tension knob that screws on the end of the main shaft.   Good luck.   Jim
