TWIDDLE SPIN - Maintenance & Operation
The spinner is screwed with the aid of Brass caps and magnets in the case.
1. Brass cap with "clockwise/anticlockwise" directional marking is the Top Cap and other bottom cap.
2. Take the spinner in your hand, hold the bottom cap with your index finger and rotate the top cap anti-clockwise along its circumference which unscrews the Brass caps.
3. Now hold the bottom case and pull up the top case to reveal the internal of the spinner.
Every spinner has a big disc provided namely Row Column Disc containing R1 to R4 with C1 and C2 on one side and R1 to R3 with C1 and C2 on the other side. This disc is used to generate randomness while playing with numbers more than 6 on any particular disc. Please refer Update #5 for more details.

With extended usage of Spinner games, where we hold the brass cap and spin the case, the brass cap with its flat top surface might hurt the finger a bit. In order to mitigate this, we have included a Stainless Steel DOME NUT which can be screwed over the cap thread. This rounded dome surface has greater contact area with the finger and helps playing games for longer duration.
-- Unscrew the Top Cap (marked with Arrows) by holding the bottom cap. Pull the Top case to reveal the internal of the spin. -- Load in 3 Play Discs into the bottom case with the appropriate play disc staked on top. To load out the discs, just flip over the bottom case. -- Place the Spin on a level surface. Load the steel ball on top of the disc. Hold the bottom cap at the centre and spin the bottom case. -- After a short moment, while spinning, hold the bottom case to let the ball roll and settle in anyone of the 6 positions. And there you go!!. Happy Spinning.
