14. Setting the lateral clearance to the right needle
Requirement:
When the needle bar has moved 4.1 mm upwards from its lowest position (lower dead center), the loo-
per point 4 must be positioned as shown in figure 27.
Check:
● Move the needle bar to its lowest position by turning the handwheel.
● Place the adjustment gauge No. 93-415 503-21/555 in the needle bar bush 9.
● Turn the handwheel in the normal direction until the adjustment gauge (measurement D)
has moved almost “seven graduations” upward.
Graduation spacing = 0.6 mm x 6,83 = 4.1 mm
The looper point 4 must now be positioned on the edge of the left needle.
Setting:
● Move the needle bar to its lowest position by turning the handwheel.
● Loosen the screw 7 of the looper lever 8 slightly (figure 28).
● Set the lateral clearance of 4.1 mm by pushing the looper lever.
● Tighten the screw 7 of the looper lever 8.
Test:
● As described under “Check”.
● The looper-to-needle clearance must checked or reset, as described under section 13
in the adjustment and repair instructions after having set the lateral clearance.
