4. For special purpose machines DP MODEL equipped with two main bearing gravity feed oil
cups, it is necessary to insure that sufficient oil is maintained in the visible reservoir. The addition
of oil is readily accomplished through the conveniently located filler hole on top of the reservoir.
When the toggle on top of these oil cups is in the upright position, a metered amount of oil is
continuously delivered from the reservoir to the bearing. If the machine is to be left idle for any
period of time, the toggle should be flicked to the horizontal position in order to shut off the oil
flow. It is important to note that machines equipped with these gravity feed oil cups must also
be lubricated in accordance with the instructions in item 2 above, except for the two locations
where the oilers are found.
5. The electric motor drives should be lubricated in accordance with the motor manufacturer’s
recommendations.
B. ADJUSTING THE KNEE LIFTER
1. In order to insure optimum operator comfort, the knee lifter has been provided with 2 adjustments.
a. The lifter pad may be moved up and down the lifter rod by loosening the set screw on the
back of the pad, moving it to the proper knee height, and retightening the set screw.
b. The lifter rod itself may be moved from left to right as follows: Loosen the screw attaching
the small window plate on top of the feed frame (see Figure 1, item “B”) and swing this
plate out of the way. By inserting a screw driver into the window, the two screws which lock
the lifter rod to the lifter rod bracket may be loosened. Move the rod to the desired location
and tighten the two lifter rod bracket screws. Replace the window plate in its proper location
and tighten the window plate screws.
C. THREADING THE MACHINE
1. Use any type of thread which is suitable for the work being sewn. This includes mercerized,
silk and synthetic threads.
2. Prior to starting the threading operation, the handwheel should be turned in the direction
away from the operator until the needle reaches the extreme left hand portion of its swing. This
will put it into the most convenient position for threading.
