1. Locate the threaded hole on top of the machine near
the rear by the hand wheel.
2. The thread mast comes with a washer and a nut. Re-
move the nut and washer, replace the nut onto the mast
for two or three turns.
3. The washer protects the painted surface when the nut
is tightened. Place the washer on the hole and insert the
thread mast.
4. Turn the thread mast clockwise several revolutions,
stopping when the mast eyelets are positioned directly
over the spool pins.
5. Tighten the nut to secure the mast to the machine.
Installing the Thread Mast
Note: The eyelets of the thread mast MUST be centered
over the spool pins. This ensures that the cone of thread
will not pull, turn or tilt, which will cause thread tension
problems (see Figure 5).

Installing the Color Touch-Screen
The color touch-screen comes pre-installed on its
mounting bracket and should have one end of the D cable

installing the Color Touch-Screen.
1. Remove the two long bolts and two star washers from
the bag in which they are packed.
2. There are three holes on top of the machine head (see
page 6, Figure 2, #17). Only the two holes that are in line
wth each other are used. Ignore the third hole located to
the side of these two holes.
3. Align the holes in the color touch-screen bracket with
the two holes on top of the machine, with the touch-
screen facing the needle end of the machine.
4. Use a 5 mm Allen wrench to insert the two long bolts
and star washers through the holes of the bracket and
into the machine (Figure 6). Tighten in place.
5. Plug the remaining cable end into the display connec-
tor located on the side of the machine (page 6, Figure 2,
#21).
