DESCRIPTION
Oil-removing
wick
assembly,
Complete
147056,
shown
in
Fig.
61
is
designed
to
remove
excess
oil
from
the
head
of
the
machine
arm.
When
filling
the
machine
reservoir,
use
"TYPE
A"
or
"TYPE C" OIL,
sold
by
Singer
Sewing
Machine
Company.
If
inferior
oil
is
used,
absorption
of
the
excess
oil
by
this
wick
may
be
reduced
considerably.
The
consequent
leakage
of
accumulated
oil
will
then
cause
serious
damage
to
materials
being
sewn.
For
further
instructions
on
oiling,
see
inside front cover
of
this book
and
pages 2,
6,
7
and
31.
Additional
sets
of
the
oil-removing
wick,
wick
holder
body
and
spring,
as
shown
in
Fig.
61,
will
be
furnished
on
order.
