Feed-Driving Eccentric
Holding the feed-driving eccentric in the same
manner as stated above, you replace it on the
hook-driving shaft.
Hook-Driving Gear
Push the hook-driving shaft through the center
hook-driving shaft bushing. Replace the hook-
driving gear so that the flange with the setscrews
is facing toward the left.
Feed-Lifting Eccentric
Place the feed-lifting eccentric on the hook-
driving shaft and slide the hook-driving shaft
into the front hook-driving shaft bushing, leaving
approximately 2 inches of the hook-driving shaft
extended to the right of the rear hook-driving
shaft bushing.
Safety Clutch Pulley
Replace the safety clutch pulley so that the
safety clutch hook-driving shaft stop collar, with
the screws in it, is flush with the right end of the
hook-driving shaft. Turn the safety clutch pulley
until the spline screw marked with the letter S is
positioned over the spline in the hook-driving
shaft. Tighten the spline screw and the setscrew.
Feed-Driving Rockshaft
The cylinder end of the feed-driving rockshaft
is placed from the left into the feed-driving
rockshaft bushing. The flat side of the feed-
driving rockshaft stop collar is placed flush with
the bushing, and the rockshaft is moved forward
to enter the stop collar. The feed-driving crank
is placed next to the stop collar, and the rockshaft
i s m o v e d f o r w a r d t o e n t e r t h e c r a n k . T he
remaining stop collar is placed on the rockshaft
with the flat side to the right. The rockshaft (with
the base of the feed bar toward the operator) is
moved through and 1 inch past the right bushing.
Holding the base of the feed bar toward you,
rotate the rockshaft downward toward the bed of
the machine and fit the feed dog into the throat
plate.
Place the feed-lifting eccentric fork over the
feed-lifting eccentric and fit the base of the feed
bar into the slot at the top of the feed-lifting
eccentric fork. When the feed-lifting eccentric
fork is in position, the rounded end of the fork
4-28
will be facing you. To secure the feed-lifting
eccentric fork to the feed dog, you must place the
feed eccentric fork screw into the space provided
and tighten it.
The feed-driving rockshaft crank is attached
to the needlebar rock frame rockshaft crank and
connection. To replace it, insert the needlebar
rock frame rockshaft crank and connection with
the curved portion upward and the crank hanging
down into the arm through the opening in the bed
of the machine. Slide the feed-driving rockshaft
crank over the feed-driving rockshaft. Do not
tighten the crank. Ensure all other screws are
tight.
This completes the assembly of the parts in
the bed of the machine. Now we will assemble the
parts located in the arm of the machine.
Needlebar Rock Frame Rockshaft
(At this point, the machine is placed in an
upright position.) Place the needlebar rock frame
rockshaft in the lower bushing in the face of the
machine. Push it through until the end of the shaft
is flush with the bushing in the arm of the
machine. This may be viewed through the opening
i n t h e t o p o f t h e m a c h i n e a r m . P l a c e t he
screwdriver through the opening in the right side
of the machine arm and engage the needlebar rock
frame rockshaft crank. Lift the crank with the
screwdriver so that it is on line with the needlebar
rock frame rockshaft. With the left hand, push
the rockshaft through the crank. Do not tighten
the crank.
Arm Shaft
In replacing the arm shaft, be certain that the
needlebar crank friction washer is on the shaft.
Insert the arm shaft in the top bushing in the face
of the machine; then push it through until it can
be seen through the opening located on the rear
of the machine arm.
Presser-Lifting Eccentric
Connection Link
Insert the larger end of the presser-lifting
eccentric connection link (figure 4-10A) with the
oil holes facing up. Slowly push the arm shaft
through the arm of the machine until you can see
the arm shaft at the opening on the top of the
machine nearest the balance wheel.
