Adjusting The Alternating Amount Of Presser Foot; Sewing Speed List; Troubleshooting - Reliable 4200SW Instruction Manual

20. Adjusting the alternating amount of presser foot (Fig.18)
When the presser foot is alternating increasingly,
adjust it upward in the range of the long hole of the
top feed crank; when the presser foot is alternating
decreasingly, adjust it downward, then tighten the
nut 2.
When the lifting amount of the presser and walking
presser foot is different, first align the bottom of the
presser foot and walking presser foot with the surface
of the needle plate, then loosen the set screw 1.Turn
the balance wheel to the front, tighten screw 2, then
the lifting amount of the presser foot is more than that
of the walking presser foot. Turn the balance wheel
reversingly, then the lifting amoung of the walking
presser foot is more than that of the presser foot.
Remove the right side of the window plate, then the
top feed crank 3 can be observed.
