RACE COVER SPRING CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
Remove the hook and install the race cover part# 126-140B.
Handwheel the machine. The needle should be centered in the race cover ellipse (notch). Fig. 1. If not
centered, loosen Screw ‘A’ and rotate shuttle.
Proper adjustment will result in the needle passing through the race cover spring as shown in Fig. 2.
Tighten Screw ‘A,’ but do not over-tighten and cause the shaft to bind up. Install hook. Recheck needle to
hook clearance.
IMPORTANT:
When adjustments are completed install the needle properly. Scarf (flat side) on right hand
side. Symptoms of a problem with this adjustment are dents on the race cover spring caused by the
needle hitting it.
