14.0 SEWING HEAD AXLE ADJUSTMENT
Setting the sewing head axle alignment is necessary to insure a smooth rolling assembly. The
axles will need to be adjusted if any side to side or front to back rocking motion is noticed when
the machine is rolled on the frame. Additionally, a visual inspection of the sewing head wheel
axle can pin point the axle that needs adjustment (See figure 9.2).
Figure 9.1: Sewing head and carriage assembly.
The two screws, found on the bottom side of the sewing head wheel axle, are used to adjust the
assembly. You will need a ¼” hex key for the adjustment. Only loosen the screw closest to the
wheel that is not touching the rail. As the screw is loosened, the axle will lower and bring the
wheel into contact with the rail. Do not loosen the screw too much or the wheel on the opposite
side may lift off of the rail. Check to insure that all of the play is removed from the assembly by
moving the sewing head front to back and left to right. The sewing head should roll smoothly.
The adjustment is complete.
