Needle Drive/Presser Foot Lubrication

bar.bmp

Always use standard sewing machine oil to lubricate the needle drive and presser foot.  Do not use any other type of oil for lubrication.

 

The needle drive and presser foot assembly require lubrication every 2,000,000 revolutions of the z-shaft.

 

Lubrication Procedures:

  1. Color change to Needle 16 (press and hold needlecase.gif, then press  arrow_right.gif until you reach needle 16.)

  2. Select the Maintenance menu in AMAYA OS.

  3. Select the Head Timing tab.

  4. If performing maintenance on all machines in a multihead synchronized cluster, check the All Machines box. If performing maintenance on a single machine in a multihead synchronized cluster, uncheck the All Machines box, and click the machine in the Machine List.  These options will be grayed out if performing maintenance on Flex machines.

  5. Click the Top Center button to take the head to the upper top position.

  6. Put 8-10 drops of sewing machine oil in the oiling channel located on the left take-up lever rail next to the left side of the needle case assembly. (See image below).

    Allow the machine to sit without running for 2-3 minutes.  This will allow the oil to seep through the felt onto the assemblies intended to be lubricated in this process (Reciprocator Guide, Cam Follower Shaft, Connecting Rod Pin).

  7. Click the Head Up button.
