10 Position of the hook and needle
10.1 Tensioning the hook drive belt
A special measurement tool is required to achieve the necessary setting.
If you have to guess at the setting for the belt tension, bear the following
points in mind:
• If the tension is too high, the service life of the belt and ball bearings is
re
duced.
• If the tension is too low, the belt may slip off the pulleys.
Proper setting
When the toothed belt (2) is pressed in the direction of the arrow, about
midway betwee
n the pulleys, the belt should deflect about 3 mm.
Cover
•Belt cover (
p. 13).
• Tilt the machine head ( p. 10).
