ADJUSTMENT OF THE REVERSE FEEDING
MECHANISM ON THE 211 G 166/266 MACHINES (Figure 48)
As
explained under "TO USE THE REVERSE FEED ON THE 211 G 166/266 MACHINES"
the direction of feed can be reversed by using the reverse feeding mechanism which is
adjusted at the factory for equal stitch length for forward and reverse sewing. Its bearing
block _is pinned in position and should never be changed!
To adjust this mechanism, set the feed driving eccentric 1, to 5 stitches/inch, loosen
screws
2, and move crank 3 until 5 needle penetrations make exactly one inch. Then
fully depress the reversing lever and the eccentric head of the bearing pin 4, should be
resting against the bearing block. loosen the two set screws 5, and turn the bearing pin
4 until the stitch length is the some in advance and reverse. Securely tighten all screws.

Figure

Remove the needle to avoid damage to the hook. Slide belt off the lower pulley, loosen
the two screws in the machine pulley, end remove the machine pulley with the ball bea-
ring from the arm shaft. lift the belt up and draw it around the .arm shaft through the
space normally occupied by the ball bearing.
The new belt is inserted through the .bell bearing hole. After piecing belt over upper
pulley, replace machine pulley. To remove oil end ploy from the shaft, lightly tighten
set screws in machine pulley and (holding needle bar crank in piece) top the machine
pulley into position with the palm of the hand. Tighten the machine pulley set screws
firmly.
Turn
the machine pulley over toward you until the thread take-up lever is at its highest
point. Then turn the hook driving shaft until the setting mark "B" on the safety clutch
pulley 6, is in line with mark 7, cut into the machine bed. Now, without disturbing the
timing of either the arm shaft or the hook driving shaft, slip belt over lower pulley.
After the needle has been reinserted, the relationship of needle to hook should be
checked. The hook point should be on the center line of the needle and 1/16 inch above the
needle eye.
