Step 3-1:
Remove your sewing machine from the carriage before continuing. You will also need to
turn the top plate up-side down, to be able to access the supporting hardware.
3-2:
Remove one of the front wheels from the top plate. (To help keep the wires more organized
attach this encoder to the same side of the carriage that you will attach the Control Box to, in Step
5. )
3-3:
Remove the 6mm Hex nut, the first washers and the cardboard spacer from the encoder with
the shorter bolt. Then replace the spacer with the wheel that you removed in step 2-2. (See Fig. 2-1)
3-4:
Place the exposed end of the bolt on the encoder through the hole where the wheel was just
removed.
3-5:
Place the washer, and 6mm nut back onto the bolt and tighten the nut securely. When you
tighten the nut, make sure that the encoders moving parts don’t contact any part of the carriage.
When the top plate is sitting upright, the encoder should be angled up, so that the encoder’s wheel
doesn’t touch the track on the bottom plate. (See Fig. 2-2).

Step 4 - Bottom Plate Encoder Attachment
NOTE: THE WHEELS ON ONE END OF THE BOTTOM PLATE ARE
ATTACHED AS SHOWN IN Fig. 4-1. REMOVE ONE OF THESE
WHEELS IN STEP 4-1.
The wheels attached to the other end of the Bottom Plate can not
be used to attach the encoder.

Note:
The Encoders come with different sized bolts. Use the encoder with the shorter
bolt on the top plate and the encoder with the longer bolt on the bottom plate.
Step 2 - Encoder Wheel Attachment
Step 2-1:
This section is provided so
you can properly attach a wheel to
your encoder. The process is identical
for any bolt used. Replace the Spacer
with the Carriage Wheel (removed from
your carriage) as shown in Fig. 2-1.
