The Lubrication ,tern
Oiling of the operating parts of .Model 210 machine is entirely automatic. Oil is contained in _the oil
pan at the bottom of the machine head and is circulated from there to all parts which require lubri-
cation and cooling. The oil pan should be filled with good quality sewing machine oil, either ordinary
or stainless type, of a grade similar to SAElO, to the level indicated by the word "High" inside the
pan. The upper red line of the oil level indicator (2), (Fig. 1) ~hows the corresponding oil level.
Check oil level daily and never allow it to fall bellow the lower red line of the oil level indicator or
below the "low'' mark inside the oil pan. Oil is filled directly into the oil pan when the head is tilted
back. Total oil capacity is approximately n1z pints (24 n. ounces.)
To remove accumulated impurities from the lubricating oil, a magnet has been included with the ma-
chine. Remove it from the accessory box and place it along the circular flat rim at the bottom of the
oi.l pump (see Fig. 3). At this location, the largest flow of oil passes the magnet wlth most efficient
cleaning as a result.
NOTE: Before operating a new machine or one which has been standing idle for a period of several
weeks, remove the arm cover plate right next to the pressure regulator (7). Soak with oi1 the four
oil wicks now exposed and replace cover. After a few minutes of operation the automatic oiling
systern will do the lubricating.
