ICON Care & Maintenance

Your ICON was engineered for precision, durability, and performance. With proper care, it will serve you through years of spinning without losing balance or strength.

General Care

  • Keep it clean and dust-free – Wipe the frame, flyer, and bobbins with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Protect from extreme temperatures – Do not leave in hot cars, near heaters, or in freezing conditions. Extreme heat may warp plastic components; cold may make them brittle.
  • Avoid prolonged direct sunlight – UV exposure over time can degrade 3D-printed surfaces. Store in a shaded space when not in use.
  • Keep it dry – Carbon fiber composites resist moisture, but prolonged dampness can affect bearings, metal fittings, and electronics.

Moving Parts

  • No oil or lubrication on bearings is required. 
  • Check belt tension - Ensure drive bands are snug but not overly tight. Replace when worn.
  • Flyer care - Keep guides clean of lint and fiber; wipe with a microfiber cloth.

Electronics & Motor

  • Use only the approved power supply – Prevent damage by only using the included adapter.
  • Unplug when not in use – Protects from surges and extends motor life.
  • Avoid fiber buildup – Keep the motor area free from stray fiber, dust, soil, or liquids.

What Not to Do

  • Do not use solvents, alcohol, or harsh cleaners on carbon fiber or 3D-printed parts.
  • Do not overtighten screws or bolts — carbon fiber is strong but can crack under excess torque.
  • Do not carry by the flyer or bobbin — always lift from the frame handle or base.

Long-Term Tips

  • Store your ICON in a temperature-stable environment (e.g., inside your home, not garage/shed).
  • Transport in a padded case if traveling to fiber festivals or classes.
  • Inspect cables and plugs occasionally for wear.
  • Treat your ICON like a precision instrument: light, strong, but deserving of care.

Summary:
Your SpinPerfect ICON is engineered to keep up with creative flow. With just a little mindful care — keeping it clean, dry, protected, and properly maintained — it will spin smoothly for years to come.
