Posion the Base assembly on the at surface. Now slide the Stem/
Handle assembly into the Base assembly and carefully align the stem
holes with the base side plate holes and the brace hole with the hole
underneath the base assembly.
Turn the handle assembly over so the small threaded hole near the handle pivot is on the boom and
posion the handle so it makes a 90 degree angle between the stem and handle. Using the T wrench,
carefully screw the 25mm JCB bolt in unl it is ght.

Starng with the right pedal (it will be on your le if you are facing the drive wheel), remove the
gold 25mm screw from the side of the pedal. Choose the conrod with the #1 stamped on the boom
and push the green joiner through the hole in the pedal. It should protrude through the boom of
the pedal about 1mm-2mm. Check the alignment of the outer rod end in the crank assembly. When
the rod end is aligned correctly, screw the 25mm screw back into place. The screw should only be
ghtened unl the head just touches the side of the pedal. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
Now the le pedal (it will be on your right if you are facing the drive wheel), remove the gold 25mm
screw from the side of the pedal. Choose the remaining conrod and push the green joiner through
the hole in the pedal. It should protrude through the boom of the pedal about 1mm-2mm. Check
the alignment of the rod end in the crank assembly as shown below. When the rod end is aligned
correctly, screw the 25mm screw back into place. The screw should only be ghtened unl the head
just touches the side of the pedal. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
Align the holes on the drive wheel with the holes in the crank
assembly and screw it into place using the silver 32mm screws. It is
recommended that you insert the centre screw rst.
Required:
2 - Gold 25mm (1”) screws (in the pedals)
Posidrive screwdriver
10. Conrods to Pedals
Fit the green joiners in the wooden footmen to the pedals. We leave a mark on one conrod (a #1 on
the boom end) and the right pedal (#1 by the screw hole) to ensure that each conrod is aached to
the correct pedal.

Required:
1 - Bobbin
1 - yer
11. Bobbin and Flyer
If you have some petroleum jelly or vaseline, rub a small smear onto the yer sha. This has already
been done at the factory so is not essenal. Now slide the bobbin on.
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/footman 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.
The brake band is recommended to be crossed. From
the spring pin,the brake band should go up and over
the top of the bobbin then round underneath and back
up the the tension knob.

Your Majacra Rose 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
Rose using Majacra Lavender Polish or alternavely
a standard wood polish. While not essenal, it will
help keep your Rose looking excellent into the future.
12. Polish
At this point screw the yer on to the yer sha. It may help to
hold the whorl with your le hand and ghten the yer with your
right (assuming you are right handed). It may also be treadled on
by holding the yer in one hand and treadling the wheel in an
anclockwise direcon.
