Verify the Alignment
1. Verify that the black Y‑axis gear engages the
blue Flexirack for the Y‑axis at the front and
the rear of the Y‑rack. To do this, look from the
back of the machine between the bottom of the
quilting machine and the top of the carriage.
If necessary, use your hand to rotate the lifting
cam eccentrics until the gears are engaged. This
will need to be done on the underside of the
carriage before it is placed onto the frame.
2. Ensure that at least two‑thirds of the black
y‑axis gear and blue Flexirack are interlocking
the entire length of the rack. Some horizontal
adjustments may be necessary. If so, loosen
the two screws that mount the Y‑axis bracket
to the base plates and push the bracket in the
necessary direction, hold it in place, and then
retighten the screws.
NOTE: The screws can be adjusted with the
quilting machine on the carriage. Pull the
machine to the front to access the front
screws and to the rear to access the rear
screws.
3. Pull the quilting machine to the rear of the
carriage and ensure the rear of the Y‑axis bracket
does not collide with the black plastic track
retainer on the rear of the carriage. Adjust the
Y‑bracket if needed.
4. With the power cable plugged into the machine
and the motors in the engaged position,
ensure that as the quilting machine can move
in both the X and the Y directions and that the
corresponding gears are rotating as well.
