9-3. Lubrication

Note1: Fill the machine with oil when the oil level is down to about one-third full in the oil sight glass. If oil is not added and

the oil drops below this level, there is the danger that the machine may seize during operation.

Note2: Be sure to let the machine operate for a while after adding the oil.
Note3: If there is no more oil on the felt of the shuttle race base, problems with sewing may result, so add oil to the felt until it

is slightly soaked.

Note4: Use only specified Brother oil (Nisseki Mitsubishi Sewing Lube 10N;VG10) for the machine oil.

1. Fill the arm-side oil tank with oil.

2. Fill the bed-side oil tank with oil.

3. Add oil to the felt (1) of the shuttle race base.

When setting up the sewing machine and when it
hasn’t been used for an extended period of time, be
sure to add 2-3 drops oil to the felt.

4. If using the liquid cooling tank (2), fill it with silicon oil (100

/s).
