LUBRICATION
The DK 3700 is designed in such way that all moving parts are running on ball or
needle bearings. The frame is hermetically closed to dust or other abrasive materials
which could eventually enter the mechanism. A high flow impeller oil pulp running at
low speed (200 rpm) is fitted into the machine so that inside the machine head an oil
rain is created, which reaches all the parts of the machine.
The quantity of oil can be checked at all times by looking at the oil level sight-glass
situated at the base of the machine.
The correct functioning of the oil pump can be checked as following :
Look at the sight-glass situated in the upper part of the machine, when running the
machine. If you see the oil splashing around than the pump is functioning normally.
HOW TO CHANGE OR ADD OIL
 Place a recipient underneath the sewing head.
 Unscrew the lid situated in the base of the machine.
 Let the oil flow freely out of the machine .
 Screw the lid back on.
 Unscrew the oil plug on the top of the machine
 Fill the machine with approximately 1 l oil with viscosity 15 W 30
TYPE OF OIL : Viscosity 15 W 30
Recommended oil type for these machines : SHELL TELLUS 37,
BP ENERGOL HLP 46 or
any similar oil grade
NOTE : Use of oil with a lower viscosity will result in poor lubrication of the spare
parts inside the machine, and these will wear out abnormally, resulting in break down
of the machine.
Conversely, high viscosity oil will cause clogging of the oil lines, which in turn will
cause poor lubrication and abnormal wearing out of the internal parts, resulting in
break down of the machine.
