Assembling a Majacraft Pioneer
1. Prepare the components
These instrucons demonstrate how to assemble your Majacra Pioneer spinning wheel.

You will require the three 40mm JCB bolts and the 4mm allen key. Posion the base assembly on
it’s edge and then push the JCB bolts through from underneath. Take care that the pedals do not
swing free and become damaged.
Align the JCB bolts with the threaded holes in the
stem/brace assembly. Use the 4mm allen key to
screw the JCB bolts into place but do not ghten
them fully.
When they all located correctly then ghten
the JCB bolts securing the stem onto the base
assembly.
Required:
5mm allen key (in the hardware bag)

stem.

When located correctly, use the 5mm allen key to
screw the axle bolt into the stem. Tighten it rmly.
The drive wheel is now aached
to the base/stem assembly.

Required:
Pulley

5. Drive Band
Required:
1 - Green drive band (in the hardware bag)
The green drive band goes on the groove on the drive wheel and
then through one of the grooves on the pulley.
Slide the pulley onto the yer sha. Align the grub
screw over the at area. Then use the 2mm allen key
to ghten the grub screw and secure the pulley on to
the yer sha.

Find the small at area on the yer sha, it will be
near the bearing on the head. Turn the yer sha so
the at is on top.

Required:
Crank assembly
3 - Silver M5x20mm (3/4”) bolts (in the hardware
bag)
3mm Allen key
6. Crank Assembly
The drive wheel has been predrilled with the holes which line up with the holes on the crank
assembly. Make sure the drive belt is on before starng!
6a
6b
Align the holes on the drive wheel with the holes in
the crank assembly and screw it into place using the
3mm Allen key. It is recommended that you insert
the centre bolt rst. This will reduce your chances of
possibly scratching your drive wheel.
6c
Similar to the base/stem assembly process, do not
fully ghten the centre bolt unl you have aligned
and started screwing in the two bolts on the sides.
6d
When the three bolts are all in place, you can nish
ghtening them up.

The green joiners have already been put in place in the wooden conrods. Place the wheel in front
of you so the crank and drive wheel are facing you.
We will start with the pedal on your le hand side. Select the conrod that is CLOSEST to YOU. It is
on the end of the curved arm and is aached to the crank assembly with the special right angle
rod end connector. Push the green joiner into the hole at the end of the pedal on your le unl it
protrudes by about 2mm. Screw the 25mm gold screw into the hole on the side of the pedal so it
holds the green joiner in place.
Now work on the pedal on your right. Obviously there will only be one available conrod now. The
one that is CLOSEST to the DRIVE WHEEL. Push the green joiner through the hole in the pedal
end into the right hand pedal. It should protrude through the boom of the pedal about 5mm.
Check the alignment of the rod end in the crank assembly as shown in the images below. You may
need to twist the green joiner in the pedal to correct the alignment. When the rod end is aligned
correctly - parallel with the face of the drive wheel - screw the 25mm screw into place. The screw
should only be ghtened unl the head just touches the side of the pedal. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

8. Bobbin, Flyer and Scotch Tension
If you have some petroleum jelly or vaseline, rub a
small smear onto the yer sha.
EXTRA
If you are not certain of the connecon arrangement, here is a
full descripon. Place the wheel directly in front of you so you are
looking at the crank assembly aached to the drive wheel. The
rubber joiner that is on the conrod that is closest to you goes into
the hole in the pedal on your le. The joiner on the conrod that is
furthest from you goes into the hole in the pedal that is on your
right.

Firstly slide the bobbin on to the yer sha.
At this point screw the yer on to the yer sha. It
may help to hold the pulley with your le hand and
ghten the yer with your right (assuming you are
right handed).

Spring is directed toward the

It is me to put on the tension knob and spring. Start by sliding
the loop on the tension spring onto the tension knob sha. Use
the spring loop that does NOT have the brake band aached. Now
slide the tension knob into the hole on the head.
When looking at the wheel from the front (the pedal side), loop
the brake tension band over the top of the bobbin from the
right hand side over to the le hand side. Refer to the Majacra
Spinning Manual for a more thorough descripon on seng the
tension.
Here is a more detailed image of the
arrangement of the tension spring.

Your Majacra Pioneer is now assembled and you are ready to start on a new spinning adventure!
From the team at Majacra, we wish you great spinning in the future.
At this point, we recommend that you polish
your Pioneer using Majacra Lavender Polish or
alternavely a standard wood polish. While not
essenal, it will help keep your Pioneer looking great
into the future.
9. Polish
The images contained in this instrucon manual are a guide only. There may
be slight dierences in your own Pioneer.
