Page: 7 / 63

1. SETUP
A1. Power Connection
A sewing motor has been provided with the machine, consistent with your requirements
(single or 3-phase, at the correct voltage). Provide a suitable electric power connection,
as indicated on the specification plate on the motor controller. To ensure safety, always
connect the green wire to ground. NOTE: Before running machine, make sure motor
rotates in the correct direction (see page 6 Sect. C.
A2. Air Connection
The Galkin 3350-X5 requires a compressed air supply with a minimum pressure of 60
p.s.i. To connect your machine to your factory’s compressed air source, simply connect
your factory air line to the make quick disconnect on the Galkin 3350-X5. The main air
regulator has a low pressure shut off that will not allow the system to operate if pressure
drops below 50 p.s.i.
B.
Lubrication
The sewing machine is equipped with an automatic oiling system. The oil reservoir was
drained for shipment. CAUTION – Do not operate the sewing machine without filling
the oil reservoir. Serious damage may occur if it is running without lubrication.
1) Sump
The oil filler cap and sight gauge are located on the top of the machine. Fill the sump,
adding light machine oil, until the green indicator in the gauge rises to just below the
upper red line. Do not over fill, as this may cause excess oil to spill, or to collect where
it may damage work.
2) Top Feed Belt Oiler
To reduce wear on the top feed belt, a belt oiler has been included on the machine. Keep
the belt oiler cup filled with the same oil used in the machine sump. The belt oiler wick,
located under the top feed belt, should be checked frequently to be sure it remains in
contact with the belt.
3) Additional Lubrication
Before running the machine, apply two or three (2-3) drops of oil at the needle
Bars as indicated in Figure 02. Also apply oil to the upper looper guide, where shown in
figure 03.
4) Oil and Filter change
For best operation, change sump oil monthly. To drain the sump, remove the sump
plug, located at the right, front of the pan. A replaceable oil filter is located under the top
cover of the sewing machine and should be replaced when changing the oil.
