ENLOCKING
THE
CARRIAGE
Latch No. 1, Fig. 2, engages in the left-hand side of the carriage. By
drawing this latch towards you the carriage will be freed. Before
replacing the machine in the case the carriage should again be locked
by engaging this latch. As a precaution against damage in transit
the carriage on all machines leaving the factory is also locked with a
carriage locking pin. This is marked with a small green ticket and
must
be pulled
out.
It

not
be
used
again
as
the
latch
previously
mentioned is quite sufficient in ordinary use.
