5 Assembling / disassembling
ATTENTION:
1. Do not tighten the screws too much as you might strip the threads!
2. To mount the piston rod onto the piston tight the screw completely, then turn back half
rotation therewith a sliding movement of the piston rod on the piston is given.
Alignment of the piston rod Loosen the screw that fixes the piston rod onto the
excenter. Switch on the machine for a few seconds in order that the piston rod can be
aligned. Fix the screw that fixes the piston rod onto the excenter. Do not tighten the screw
too much as you might strip the threads.
Disassembling of the piston
After having removed the piston rod from the piston, remove the cap of the GIVE,
loosen the GIVE screw completely. Loosen the set screw that fixes the needlebar
pin onto the piston. Remove the piston from above paying attention that the
spring doesn't get lost.
Assembling of the piston
Put the spring of the piston into its position of the frame.
Insert the piston aligning the spring with its location on
the piston. Insert the needlebar pin into the piston, the
distance between pin and frame should be 0,1mm in
order to avoid friction and noise during the use. Screw
the set screw that fixes the pin onto the piston. Insert the
GIVE spring and tighten the GIVE screw completely. Mount the cap.
Assembling / Disassembling
of excenter and piston rod.
To remove the excenter from the motor and the
piston rod from the piston, you need hex wrenches
for M0.9 and M1.3 screws. Loosen gently the set
screw which fixes the piston rod on the excenter,
remove connecting plug, rotate the piston rod on
the side, unscrew the screw that fixes the excenter
to the motor housing and remove excenter.
To remove the piston rod, push down the piston,
unscrew the screw that fixes the piston rod to the
piston and finally remove the piston rod from the
piston. For assembling inverse the operation.
