TIMING THE LOOPERS
When needle bar is at its lowest position, loopers
should be at end of backward stroke.
Remove bed slides (left and right).
Remove presser foot and throat plate.
Loosen two set screws on bevel gear shown in
Fig. 28.
Turn machine pulley over toward operator until
needle bar is at lowest position.
Rotate rotary shaft, Fig, 28
(now free of gears) as
required to set loopers at extreme right position.
Tighten one of the set screws on bevel gear and
check timing adjustment by turning machine pulley and
observing whether eye of front looper is in line with
needle eye as they pass each other on forward stroke
of looper.
If they ore not in alignment, check to see whether
eye of looper is some distorKre above or below eye of
needle on both strokes of looper.
if so, loopers are correctly timed, but needle bar
height is incorrect.
Otherwise, repeat timing operation.
Then tighten both set screws shown in Fig. 28.

stroke of looper.
At
this position,eye of front looper should be ex
actly in line with eyeof front needle,as shown in Fig. 29.
