machine far enough
so
that they do not protrude into the boreholes which
receive the hinge
studs.
Seize the machine by the front end and the arm standard oncf tilt it bock
slightly.
Then push it onto the studs, making sure that both studs enter the bore-
holes simultaneously, and slide it down as for as it will go. Failure to observe
this rule may cause the studs to be bent. Now swing the machine down to the
normal position for sewing. Check whether there is on even and sufficiently
wide interspace between the front edge of the bedplote and the top flap of the
cabinet. If this space should be
too
wide, slip as many spacers

onto the
hinge studs as may be required to reduce it to normal. Tilt the machine bock
and tighten the set screws securely so that they will not loosen when the ma-
chine, dropped
into
its cabinet, is shipped
to
the
customer.
Great caution must also be used
in
lifting the machine off the hinge
studs.
Make particularly sure that the set screws ore turned out for enough.
Removing
the
Rust-Preventative Fluid
Before they
leave
the factory, all Pfaff sewing machines are sprayed with o
rust-preventative fluid
in
order to prevent rust occurring on the metal surfaces
in
transit and subsequent storage. It cannot be avoided in applying this fluid
that tiny drops occasionally enter the bearings where they may cause hard
running of the
machine.
To prevent this, rinse all bearings with cleaning fluid,
or kerosene, and apply Pfaff sewing machine o
il
to all oiling points before
the
machine is delivered to
the
customer.
Cleaning and Oiling
No Pfaff dealer should foil to impress upon his customers the importance of
regular machine core,
for
the longevity, smooth running, and satisfactory per-
formance of the machine depend on
it.
(See also the illustrations on pages
40 and 41).
Removing the Top Cover
Af.ter removing the top cover, it is possible to reach all oiling points and to
adjust the various mechanisms located in the machine arm.
Two studs hold the top cover in position on the arm costing. To remove the
top cover from the machine, lift it up perpendicularly.
