Setting
To adjust, set machine for maximum needle avoid
ing motion as follows.
Turn machine pulley over toward operator until
crank is down, as shown in Fig. 35.
Loosen two set screws in avoiding eccentric and
turn avoiding eccentric until centerline (See Fig. 35)
between two set screws coincides with centerline on
eccentric edge of crank. Machine is now set for max
imum amount of
needle avoiding motion.
Minimum needle avoiding motion is obtained by
turning avoiding eccentric over toward operator 90
degrees from maximum setting.
Turn avoiding eccentric as required to obtain de
sired amount of needle avoiding motion and securely
tighten two set screws.
POSITIONING THE LOOPER AN EQUAL
DISTANCE FROM NEEDLE
To position loopers on equal distance in back
and in front of needles during needle avoiding motion
of loopers, loosen two clomp screws shown in Fig. 35.
Adjust looper holder (See Fig. 44, Page 16) so
that loopers pass at an equal distance in back of and
in front of needles. Then tighten two clomp screws.
TIMING THE LOOPER-THREAD TAKE-UP
Single Take-up Machines 262-1, 262-2, 262-20, 262-21,
262-22, 262-25
The straight edge of looper thread take-up, shown
in
Fig. 36, must contact looper threads just as loopers
are starting
their backward stroke.
Take-up should then keep looper threads tout until
points of needles, on their downward stroke, have
entered triangles formed by looper blades, looper
threads and needle thread loops, as shown in enlarged
view of this area. Fig. 36.
To
set looper thread take-up, loosen thrust screw
and
set screw in hub of take-up, shown in Fig. 37.
Rotate looper thread take-up toward rear of machine
to time take-up to
contact looper threads sooner
(FAST) or rotate take-up toward front of machine to
time take-up to
contact looper threads later (SLOW).
Slightly tighten set screw in Fig. 37. Securely tighten
thrust screw, Fig. 37. Then tighten set screw securely.
