Reassemble The Machine Following Service - Janome QMP16SU Manual

Reassemble the Machine Following Servicing
To reassemble the machine following servicing
After the machine has been cleaned, oiled, and adjusted as much as it can be with the front cover off,
replace the front cover. Reverse the disassembly process following the guidelines below:
1. Route the cables carefully to ensure that they are not pinched between the back frame and the front
cover when they are tightened back together.
U CAUTION: Pinched cables may work for a while but will fail prematurely.
2. Start all screws. Then stagger the order in which you fully tighten the screws to ensure the front cover
is tightened evenly.
3. The short part of the L-hex tool will be in the screw socket and the long part of the tool will be in the
hand. Use the appropriate L-hex tool and tighten the screws until the screw no longer continues to
tighten and the hex tool starts to flex to ensure the front cover is adequately tightened (3mm hex tool
for the three smaller screws and 4mm hex tool for the six larger screws).
 IMPORTANT: Do not tighten the bottom three power plate screws until after all the front cover
screws have been fully tightened.
 IMPORTANT: If a regular short handled L-hex tool is used it will not flex.
 NOTE: If the screws are too loose, the frame will not properly hold its adjustments. However, do not
over tighten the screws or the tapped hole may strip out or the screw may break.
