Adjusting Clearance between Loopers and Needle

Before performing the following adjustment, ensure
the looper and needle are in alignment (see page 1-45),
the throat plate has been removed and the right and left
looper have been installed.
To install the loopers, loosen screws B and C. Install
the loopers. Do not re-tighten screws at this time.
1. Turn the right hand stop wheel counterclockwise,
bringing needle bar down to its lowest point.
2. Loosen screw A located on the back side of the race. Move the looper carrier to the right until it reaches
the center of the needle. Re-tighten screw B slightly. The left hand looper and the needle must have a
clearance of between 0.03 and 0.11 mm (.001 and .004"). To adjust, move the left hand looper in or out as
necessary. Once the proper clearance has been obtained, re-tighten screw B.
3. Move the looper carrier to the left. The right hand looper must have a clearance of between 0.03 and
0.11 mm (.001 and .004"). To adjust, move the right hand looper in or out as necessary. Once the proper
