  • Page 10: Lubrication

    LUBRICATION It is important to remember that Titan Sewing Machines are produced using some of the highest quality components and assembled and tested thoroughly to ensure the machines can handle factory operation day in and day out from multiple operators and shifts. Noting that, you may choose to alter your lubrication requirements based on the amount of use you are putting your machine through.

  • Page 11: Lubricating The Upper Body

    LUBRICATION(con’t) LUBRICATING THE UPPER BODY Apply an adequate amount of oil once a day to the points marked with the arrow marks. Before you operate your machine for the first time, or after an extended period of disuse, apply an adequate amount of oil to the points marked with the arrow marks and to each felt and oil wick thru the oil wicking system.
  • Page 12 Figure 13 Notes on lubrication: • Always ensure to use virgin mineral oil on your Titan Sewing Machine • While under oiling your machine can cause damage to your machine, over oiling can be an issue to your sewing as well. If your machine is dripping oil onto your sewing project, consider reducing the amount and/or frequency of oiling to your machine.

  • Page 13: Needles And Thread

    NEEDLES AND THREAD Like all sewing machines, Titan sewing machines work best when you work with not only the correct needle for the project and thread, but when you work within recommended guidelines of use when it comes to needles. Use the chart below to ensure you are matching the correct needle size to your threads.

  • Page 14: The Needle

    THE NEEDLE Industrial sewing machine needles are made up of several parts of the needle and knowledge of these key areas is helpful when you wish to produce a top-quality finished product. • Scarf – This could be considered one of the most important parts of the needle. This is the indent that allows the hook to pick up the thread off the needle and form the stitch •...

  • Page 15: Changing The Needle

    CHANGING THE NEEDLE Figure 15 1. Turn the handwheel to bring the needle bar to the highest position of its stroke. 2. Loosen needle clamp screw (Fig 15, Item 2) and hold needle so that the long groove in the needle is facing exactly to the left.

    WINDING A BOBBIN (Con’t) 5. If the bobbin is wound unevenly, correct it by loosening the bobbin winder thread guide screws (Fig 17, Items D) and moving the guide back and forth to balance the thread on the bobbin. 6. Then, tighten setscrews D. 7.

  • Page 18: Installing/Removing The Bobbin

    INSTALLING/REMOVING THE BOBBIN Installing the bobbin case into the machine can be a critical point to pay attention to. Follow the instructions below and make sure the key points are taken into consideration. Figure 19 To Remove: 1. Make sure the take up lever is at the highest position. 2.

  • Page 19: Threading The Upper Thread

    THREADING THE UPPER THREAD The TN-1541S is equipped with a dual tension unit which allows the machine to not only expand the range of threads the machine can handle, but also offers the operator to have more control over thread tensions.

  • Page 20: Threading With Thinner Threads

    THREADING THE UPPER THREAD(Con’t) 7. Ensure the thread follows the path provided in Fig 22. 8. Pay close attention to the thread guide (Fig 22, Item 13) that is just above the needle. This is commonly overlooked and can cause errors in sewing if not threaded. Figure 22 THREADING WITH THINNER THREADS •...

  • Page 21: Adjusting Tensions

    ADJUSTING TENSIONS Adjusting tensions is often the most concerning adjustment for newer operators. While each machine is individual and may have slightly different tensions, the adjustment for each machine is the same. Figure 24 The above figure (Fig 24) demonstrates what perfect tensions should look like. The thicker your material, this will be easier to achieve.

  • Page 22: Adjusting Upper Tensions

    ADJUSTING UPPER TENSIONS When using both tension units on the top thread, it is important to try to keep both tension units at a similar position. This will help to try to keep your machine working correctly. • To Increase the upper tension, turn the tension units in the direction of A •...

  • Page 23: Thread Take-Up Spring (Check Spring)

    THREAD TAKE-UP SPRING (CHECK SPRING) The take-up spring (aka check spring) controls the slack on the thread to prevent large loops or knots from forming as the machine operates. In some cases, you may need to adjust this spring, especially when you use technical threads or materials. Figure 29 ADJUSTING THE STROKE OF THE SPRING The stroke, or travel of the spring is set by the stopper (Fig 29, Item 3) on the base of the unit.

  • Page 24: Stitch Length And Reverse

    • If your stitch length dial is hard to turn clockwise, you can release some pressure from the dial by pressing the reverse lever some and this will allow you to turn the dial easier. This happens because the Titan TN-1541S comes with a heavier duty spring in the stitch length mechanism.

  • Page 25: Presser Foot Lifter

    PRESSER FOOT LIFTER The Titan TN-1541S has a foot lifter on the backside of the machine head that allows the operator to lift and lock the foot in the up position. Figure 31 When you want to keep the foot lifted in the up position, pull the lever (Fig 31, Item 1) upwards into the locked position.

  • Page 26: Adjusting The Presser Foot Pressure

    ADJUSTING THE PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE The Titan TN-1541S has adjustment screws for both the inner and outer presser feet. While both can be adjusted independently, it is not a common adjustment to be made and should not require Figure 32 regular adjustment.

  • Page 27: Adjusting Presser Foot Alternation

    ADJUSTING PRESSER FOOT ALTERNATION The Titan TN-1541S is equipped with the Titan Climbing Device. This is the dial on the top of the machine that adjusts the alternation of the two presser feet. This is used primarily when climbing on and off material of different heights.

  • Page 28: Sewing Speeds

    SEWING SPEEDS While the maximum speed of the sewing machine is 2500 spm, this is only suggested when sewing within the parameters of the chart below. It is highly recommended that you adjust your speed accordingly when it comes to stitch length and alternation of the presser foot. Figure 35...
