Figure 5 - Harness Tie at Top Left of Needlecase Assembly
17. Connect the grabber motor lead to the interface cable coming off the grabber stepper motor.
Loop it and tie it with a cable tie as shown in Figure 4 above. Allow just enough slack so that the
connectors will not disconnect during machine operation.
18. Connect the thread feeder motor lead to the interface cable coming off the grabber motor on the
right side of the machine.
19. Use a twist-lock cable tie and tie the harnesses running under the thread tree base right at the
front and at the back of the base.
20. Run the harnesses running out from under the thread tree base to the right wiring channel and
bundle them together with a cable tie at the point where they meet the other harnesses running
into the wiring channel.
21. Run the grabber/thread feed motor harness down the right wiring channel following the path of
the adjacent harnesses all the way down to the access hole to the Main PCB.
22. Connect the grabber/thread feed motor harness to the connector socket at J33 on the Main PCB.
23. Replace the EMI Cover.
24. Install the covers in the reverse order that you removed them.
25. Conduct machine functional tests to verify that the harness is good and properly connected (the
grabber and thread feed motors function).
