5-2 Installing the mount base Refer to the Parts list page 25~30,60~65. ■Install the mount base correctly by referring to the illustration right. 5-3 Installing the machine ■Install the machine correctly by referring to the illustration right. 5-4 Installing the pulley cover ■Install the pulley cover correctly by referring to the illustration right.
【6】TIMING OF THE LOOPERS TO THE NEEDLES ■Timing of the looper to the needle is factory-set properly. However, when disassembling the needle bar mechanism, looper mechanism or using a new part, this timing should be readjusted. Refer to the following procedures. 6-1 To adjust the timing Remove the needle, needle plate, presser foot, feed dog and auxiliary feed dog and feeding roller.
6-2 Angle and height for installing the loopers Insert loopers A, B and C fully into looper holders D, E and F. Tighten screws G. Height and an angle of 3°are achieved. 6-3 Looper setting distance With the loopers at the extreme left end of their travel, there should be a distance of approximately 3.6mm from each center of the needles to each point of the loopers.
6-5 Installing the needle holder Torque the needle holder into the needle bar to 20kgf・cm. 6-6 Relationship between the needles and needle plate When the height of the needle bar is adjusted, check to see if each needle is centered in its needle drop hole. 6-7 Needles/loopers front-to-back relationship The looper passes behind the needle when it moves from the extreme left end of its travel to the right.
6-8 Adjusting the amount of looper front-to-back movement Remove the side cover of the cylinder. Loosen screw L (see the illustration) on the looper avoiding rod. Move the looper avoiding rod up or down as required. Raising the rod decreases the amount. Lowering the rod increases the amount. <...
【8】ADJUSTING THE FEED DOGS & STITCH LENGTH SX6803PD (Differential feed) 8-1 To install and adjust the feed dogs ■Position of the feed rocker arm eccentric pin Eccentric pin A which is located at the middle of the cylinder is used for a fine height adjustment on the main and differential feed dogs.
8-2 Stitch length Adjustable from 2.1mm to 4.2mm with no steps. The number of stitches per inch (25.4mm) is as follows. Stitch Number of length stitches per inch 4.2mm 3.6mm 3.2mm 2.8mm 2.5mm 2.3mm 2.1mm ■To change the stitch length Loosen screw A on the needle guard.
SX6803P (Plain feed) 8-4 Feed dog height The top of the screw B should be 2.7mm above the top of feed dog bracket A, and setting the feed dog. Install those parts on the feed bar C with screw D and When the main feed dog is in its highest position, the first tooth from the front should be 2mm above the needle plate.
【9】ADJUSTING THE PRESSER FOOT 9-1 Presser foot pressure The presser foot pressure should be as light as possible, yet be sufficient to produce uniform stitches and feed the fabric properly. If the pressure is too light, the fabric may not be fed evenly or skip stitching and/or uneven stitching may occur.
9-4 Adjusting the thread releaser shaft When the presser foot lift pedal is not pressed, the upper part of thread releaser pin I should be positioned between the top and bottom thread tension disks. To make this adjustment, loosen screw J of the presser foot lift lever (Large) and turn thread releaser shaft K as required with a screwdriver.
10-3 Disassembling, reassembling and adjusting the feed roller ■To disassemble the feed roller Remove screw A on the feed roller presser bar clamp. Loosen screw B. Loosen screw D on feed roller bracket C. Raise the feed roller presser bar as required. Remove feed roller bracket C.
■Needle thread guard Needle thread guard D adjusts the needle thread tension after the looper has withdrawn from the needle thread loop and the shape of the needle thread loop which the looper enters. When the needle bar is at the bottom of its stroke, needle thread guard D should be 1.5mm above the top end of needle bar lever eyelet E.
