Needle Bar Driver
EMC 1, ADV 18:
The needle bar driver is located inside the head casting, directly behind
the needle bar. It can be accessed through the slot of the take-up lever and
is identified but a spiral groove on its shaft. Refer to Figure 2-7 Place the
oiler tube through the take-up lever slot and lubricate the needle bar driver
shaft by putting 3-5 drops of oil directly onto the shaft every 80 operating
hours. The oil will slowly migrate into the spiral groove on the shaft and
lubricate the needle bar driver.

EMC 6:
The needle bar driver is located behind the needle case. Move the needle
case to the right-most position and place 2-3 drops of oil in the puddle slot
