To install the carriage and machine on the frame
1.
Place the carriage on the table rails, ensuring
that the stitch regulator faces the back of the
frame.
2.
Place the machine on the carriage.
U
CAUTION
: The Simply Sixteen is heavy.
Never attempt to lift it alone. Always use
two people when lifting. Always lift from
the throat of the machine, not from the
handlebars or needle bar.
3. Plug the ribbon cable from the stitch regulator
connector at the back of the machine (see
Rear
View
on the previous page, #27) into the stitch
regulator on the carriage.
Â
IMPORTANT
: If you ever need to remove the machine from the carriage, disconnect the ribbon
cable from the stitch regulator at the back of the carriage. Failure to unplug the cable when
removing the machine from the carriage could result in damage to the cable, encoders, and
carriage.
