The Manifold
The manifold is the under the color change cover. See Figures 5-2 and 5-3.
The manifold holds valves and rollers, the splicing cell, and various other small parts. They may not
work at their peak efficiency if the area becomes contaminated with lint. Use a can of compressed
air to blow away any lint or thread. You can do this without removing the color change cover. Aim
the air into the opening in the needle case above the first thread guide as shown in Figure 5-1.
As you engage the air, move the can so that the air reaches all areas under the cover. At the back
of the manifold, clean the area in and around the openings by the carriage selector. If color change
or thread splicing problems continue, remove the cover and clean the area more thoroughly. Pick
away any threads that the compressed air leaves behind. Reinstall the cover after the area is clean.
The manifold shown with the
color change cover removed.
