SECTION 8—LUBRICATING THE NEEDLE ARM AND NEEDLE CAM:
Lubricating of the Needle Arm and the Needle Cam may be necessary after extended use. Friction
between the Needle Arm and the Middle Plate may build up and the symptom of this is that the machine
occasionally will not complete a cycle. Follow instructions below to solve this problem if it becomes
apparent. Please note that lubrication of the whole machine is not recommended. Lubricants, espe-
cially in dusty environments may become sticky and cause parts to not run smoothly against each other.
Only lubricate using the manufacturer’s specified lubricants and in the shown locations.
1) Remove the Bottom Plate of the Twisting Head Assembly as per the instructions in Section 7
2) Using a medium weight machine grease generously spread the grease along the Needle Arm. See Figure
16. Note: When the Middle Plate and Bottom Plate are assembled the seal between them does not allow
for much penetration of dust, so liberal greasing of these parts only will not be damaging to the machine.
3) Replace the Bottom Plate of the Twisting Head Assembly as per the instructions in Section 7.
