General
The M2000 Stitcher is a friction-type head which
depends on smooth sliding friction and proper tim-
ing to function correctly. Preventative maintenance
will go far to insure trouble-free operation. Avoid
production down time by keeping your stitcher lu-
bricated and in top working condition at all times.
Recommended Spare Parts
Like any equipment that has moving parts, certain
parts of your stitcher will be subjected to more
wear than others and require replacement. The fol-
lowing listing includes all the parts required for
minimum maintenance and good operation.
