Tip machine back on its hinges and fill the oil reservoir as illustrated in
Fig. 2.
When a machine is NEW or has been idle for several weeks, it is advisa
ble to oil the needle bar, take-up bearings, and all other parts which are
in movable contact. The automatic lubricating system will function ef
ficiently after running the machine at 2500 to 3000 revolutions per
minute for 10 to 15 minutes and continue to lubricate all bearings.
CAUTION: Correct lubrication is indicated by a continuous stream of
oil passing the oil flow window while machine is running, as shown in
Fig. 3.
Should this oil flow become erratic,
STOP the machine and check the
reservoir oil level. Fill if needed.
At least twice each month, check
the oil level in the reservoir. Never
allow the oil level to drop below
LOW mark, shown in Fig. 2.
