Here is the manual that you should have received digitally.  This is spiral bound and printed on good paper.

Exclusively designed by Dave Huelster for the Tru-Knit Circular Knitting Machine.

The compound set includes the dial, the tappet plate, the yarn carrier arm, 100 compound cylinder needles and 50 short butt ribber needles.  Additional cylinder/dial combinations are $110, but you have to buy the set first in order to get the tappet plate, needles and yarn carrier arm.

In order to use this system, one must remove the silver bullet from the yarn carrier arm.  Then remove the yarn carrier arm.  The ribber will need to be disassembled and rebuilt with the tappet plate and dial.  Changing the cylinder is necessary as well.  So one must not be afraid to change parts and reassemble their Tru-Knit.  It will require adjusting the silver bullet.  These skills are easy and this is a great way to get to know your machine.

All cylinders come with the cylinder spring and ribber stop arm.

Table weight: 16 pounds
Table Dimensions: top 15 1/2″x 22″ x 28″ high
Folded dimension: 4″ x 28″ x 15 1/2″
top edge is 3/4″, make sure your machine opening is that wide. If you have a single point of contact machine, there are no screw holes to screw the machine down so it won’t wiggle on the table.

This table is designed for going to crank-ins. The idea is to pack the table last. Get out of your car, grab your table, and go into the crank-in space. Then, eyeball your desired space and set your table up. BAM! Your territory is marked. Then, when it’s time to go, pack everything and carry your table out last (remember to leave a space for it!!). And you’re done. No tools or degrees are required for this table.

Jenny Deters and her husband designed this table after we saw a similar one at sock school; and by Jenny & PR I mean Jenny…PR is only involved for the strength of holding and screwing tight, etc. I (Jamie) encouraged Jenny to make this table by researching, finding, and sending plans for a similar camp table. She and PR tooled up and made several batches of tables (which sold out immediately). This table is a complicated piece of equipment that requires strength in production and assembly. PR has more to do than to put tables together, so they retired from table-making. The search began. We (Jenny) fired 4 makers up front for not making the table sturdy enough. We finally decided to ask Jeff’s Uncle’s brother, who has a wood trim business. He liked the challenge and made the tables more than acceptable to us! Now, Jeff’s Uncle’s brother is not his other Uncle. Jeff’s Aunt is his relation.

Additionally, the Tru-Knit Circular Knitting Machine comes with:

A ribbed knitted sample with a ribbed heel will be knitted on the machine and included with the shipment. The sample will be a sock with a toe, knit at my preferred sock tension. If the knitter so chooses, he or she may keep all adjustments the same and use the sock sample provided to judge the length of the sock they would need in order to make a sock that fits. That’s provided one doesn’t get it out of the box and begin turning screws and making adjustments before knowing what the adjustments actually do. All screws are hex heads, so you can’t just go turning knobs and changing things accidentally.
