ADJUSTMENT OF BACKLASH BETWEEN HOOK DRIVE SHAFT
AND LOWER SHAFT GEARS
Engagement of the gears should be smooth and the backlash should be 0.8 mm or less when
the rotary hook tip is within the width of the feed dog. After adjustment of the clearance between
the needle and the rotary hook, be sure to check and adjust the backlash.
(1) Remove the bed cover (unit). (Refer to page 4.)
(2) Loosen the set screw.
(3) (A) If the backlash is too much, turn the lower shaft bushing in direction A.
(B) If the backlash is not enough, turn the lower shaft bushing in direction B.
(4) Tighten the set screw.
(6) Attach the bed cover (unit). (Refer to page 4.)
(Note)
After adjustment of the backlash, be sure to check and adjust the hook timing and feed dog
height.
