CAP FRAME (OPTION)
4_5 E201
Adjustment
When you hoop a cap on the cap frame, please
adjust in the following manner:
1. Adjust position of clamp support to the
height of the cap. (Fig. 1)
Adjust the height by removing the inner
screws at left and right.
If you adjust position of clamp support and
shorten distance H, embroidery area will be
reduced in Y direction (depth).
2. Adjust the clamp to fit the clamp support.
(Fig. 2)
Loosen wing nuts at left and right to adjust.
3. Adjust up and down position of the hook
according to the thickness of the cap to
adjust clamp tension. At this moment, the
hook should open and close without feeling
too tight.
(For adjustment, proceed to procedure 5
below).
Use the wing nuts for adjustment. (Fig. 3)
If the hook is extremely tight, it will damage the
cap frame permanently.
4. Put the cap frame without a cap to cap drive
on the machine.
(Please refer to operation 8 "Hooping caps"
on next page for mounting).
At this time, adjust so that guide on cap
drive frame doesn't strike clamp support
and gap is reduced as small as possible.
Remove screws at left and right to adjust.
