2. Lubrication

 

The Pantograph

The beam moves the hoop left/right (the X-axis) and forward/backward (the Y-axis). To keep the beam assembly in good condition, you must lubricate it with sewing machine oil regularly as described in the following schedule. Placing a clean, soft cloth under the lubrication points when possible will help keep the machine clean.

Pantograph Lubrication Schedule:

 

Lubrication Point	Lubricant	Frequency
Rollers: left right front & rear	Sewing Machine Oil	Every 160 operating hours
Left & right Y rails front & rear	Sewing Machine Oil	Every 160 operating hours

NOTE: Multi-head peripherals (EMC 6/4, EMC 6/4M, EMC 6/4MT, EMC 10/4, and EMC 10/4T) feature self-lubricating pantograph components that do not require external lubrication.

EMC 1, EMC 6, EMC 6M, EMC 6ML, EMC 6MLT, EMC 10, EMC 10T, CH 1, ADV 18:

Refer to Figure 2-21 for the pantograph locations that require lubrication.
