6.3.2 Setting lubricating interval for needle bed
For the needle bed a lubricating interval of between 1 and 65.535 courses can
be set. A mean value for a three-system machine is 25,000 courses. However,
this value depends highly on: Machine speed, temperature and number of
knitting systems. We recommend: Selecting a shorter lubricating interval
instead of a longer one. After the lubricating interval expires, a message
appears stating that the needle bed must be oiled.
