Needle Sensor Test
The Needle Sensor test will indicate whether the nee dle
position sensor is functioning properly. Rotating the
hand wheel should result in a “beep” for half of a stitch
cycle followed by no “beep” for the other half.
(Figure 29)
If you hear a constant beep or no beep at all for a full
360° rotation of the hand wheel, this indicates a failed
test and the machine should be inspected by a qualified
HUSQVARNA VIKING® repair technician.
