The clearance of the eccentric crank pin 1 to the arm shaft 4
determines the size of the needle bar stroke and thus the upper dead
center of the commonly and separately switchable needle bars.
ATTENTION !
The crank pin 1 is precisely set at the factory!
After a replacing of the thread lever or when the needles no longer
switch off correctly, then the crank pin 1 is to be reset.
