Sock machine yarn carrier

The adjustment of the yarn carrier is important, because if the yarn doesn't hit the needles at the right place, the machine won't knit. Here are some pictures of the yarn carrier on my Legare 400.
The yarn carrier should be at a height where the yarn is picked up by the needles after it goes through the carrier. The height of the yarn carrier is adjusted according to its relationship to the needles.

The needles should not rub against the yarn carrier.

I bought my yarn carrier from www.rox4sox.com. It makes changing yarn so much easier. I hope it works out for you, too.
