4. Turn the knob t to move the needle bar case r so
that the needle hole in the needle plate is in between
needle bars No. 1 and No. 2.
5. Turn the shaft of the potentiometer w clockwise as
far as it will go so that 1 and 2 are flashing on the
needle bar number display, and then turn the shaft
counterclockwise until only 2 is flashing.
6. In this condition, insert the shaft of the potentiometer
w into the knob t so that it does not move, and
secure by tightening the set screw y.
7. Move the needle bar case r to the neutral position
turn the knob t (the position where the needle bar
case r does not move).
8. Check that the needle bars match the numbers in
the display (No. 1 to No. 9) when the keys are used
to move the needle bar case r.
9. Once the operation has been checked and is okay,
securely tighten the potentiometer w set screws y.
■ Replacing the circuit boards (Page 90 for BAS-401/412A/416A)
• Main circuit board
Note:
• Change the MOSIC to a CMOS_IC.
(Addition)
• Connector P9 is a spare connector, and so the cable is not connected. Furthermore, if cap frame
specifications have not been included, connector P10 will also be spare, and so its connector also will not
be connected.
■ Connecting the connectors (Page 112)
• Connector P12 (between main circuit board and tension bracket circuit board) has been added.
