INSTALLATION
Machine base and oil reservoir shown in Fig. 2,
fits into standard table cut-out and rests on the four
corners without bolting.
Rasp edges of cut-out, if necessary,as base must

from rocking.
Base must be level in both directions so that oil
level will be accurately indicated by marks on base.

and is not bolted down.
Machine hinge pins must not support the head except
when it is tilted back.
CAUTION: Do not start machine until it has been thor
oughly lubricated as instructed below.
LUBRICATION
Machines of Class 262 have an automatic lubricat
ing system in which oil is circulated from a reservoir
by means of a centrifugal pump, and is delivered under
pressure to all principal bearings.
Before starting machine, the oil reservoir which
holds approximately 1 -3/4 pints must be filled to high
mark, as shown in Fig. 2.
Use SINGER* OIL "TYPE A" or "TYPE C". Use
"TYPE C" OIL when an oil is desired which will
produce minimum stain on fabrics.
NOTE: When machine is new or has been idle for some
time, remove face plate and oil the upper and lower
needle bar bushing wick by hand. The outomatic oiling
system will fuction efficiently after the first few min
utes.
Check oil level often to keep it from going below
mark.
CAUTION: If the flow of oil passing the oil flow window
shown in Fig. 3, should stop or become erratic, stop
the machine immediately and do not run machine until
the trouble has been eliminated.
