This Engineer’s Manual is written for the technical personnel who are responsible for the service and maintenance of
the machine.
The Instruction Manual for these machines intended for the maintenance personnel and operators at an apparel
factory contains operating instructions in detail. And this manual describes “Standard Adjustment”, Adjustment
Procedures”, “Results of Improper Adjustment”, and other important information which are not covered in the Instruction
Manual.
It is advisable to use the relevant Instruction Manual and Parts List together with this Engineer’s Manual when carrying
out the maintenance of these machines.
This manual gives the “Standard Adjustment” on the former page under which the most basic adjustment value is
described and on the latter page the “Results of Improper Adjustment” under which stitching errors and troubles
arising from mechanical failures and “How To Adjust” are described.

Adjustment ProceduresResults of Improper Adjustment
(1)Adjusting belt F on the convey shaft side
aLoosen M8 nut fixing eccentric shaft C and adjust the tension
by rotation of the eccentric shaft.
(2)Adjusting belt G on the motor sideaLoosen setscrews (4 pcs.) fixing the rotating motor to adjust
the tension.
(Caution) When the above step (1) is performed and
eccentric shaft C is rotated, tension of belt G on
the motor side varies as well. In some case, readjustment of the above step (2) may be required.

Adjustment ProceduresResults of Improper Adjustment
aLoosen the nut fixing air cylinder D and rotate the air cylinder
to adjust the blowing amount.
aLoosen bolts and nuts (2 pcs. each) fixing the horizontal feed
sensor cirduit board, align end face (A) of the horizontal feed
sensor circuit board and the horizontal feed sensor plate with
each other and fix them.
aClearance dimension
Small (in case of clearance < 0)
Chuck cylinder comes in contact
with the bobbin case lever resulting
in defective chucking.
Large (in case of clearance > 0.5)
Chuck cylinder comes in contact
with sewing machine hook and feed
dog or bobbin case chucking
becomes improper resulting in
defective chucking or defective
convey.
(Reference) Re-adjustment of the horizontal feed origin
position is not required since the sensor
positioning can be performed by aligning end
face (A) even when the replacement of sensor
or the like is performed.
aLoosen M2.5 F nut and adjust the rubber in the vertical
direction with M2.5 bolt E.
(Caution) Note that the top end of the bolt should not
protrude from the top surface of the rubber.
aPush D rubber into E bolt by approximately 5 mm (top end
of the bolt should not protrude from the rubber).
aAs shown in Fig A, it is accepted to assemble the height of
5.3 mm between upper end of D rubber and B dummy base
face beforehand. Check, however, the aforementioned
dimension of 0.3 mm.
aProtruding amount of the rubber
Small (protruding amount < 0.2 mm)
Bobbin idles resulting in thread
scatter.
Large (protruding amount > 0.4 mm)
Bobbin is pushed resulting in
defective setting to the bobbin case
waiting shaft.

After assembling the unit, make the thread
drawing force F = 0.78N (80gf) or more.

Adjustment ProceduresResults of Improper Adjustment
aLoosen two setscrews in the ZA arm, and adjust so that the
ZA drive gear and the ZA idler gear should be parallel with
each other when the claw spring force is applied.
aLoosen three setsscrews in the ZA frame asm., and adjust
the clearance in the vertical direction.
aWhen the thread drawing force is
weakened, in case of thick thread
or the like, thread slips and thread
may be not drawn from bobbin case.
aClearance dimension
Small (clearance < 0)
Bobbin case interferes with gear.
Large (clearance > 1)
Thread is likely to enter the
clearance between gear and bobbin
case when thread end is guided.
aLoosen three setscrews in the unwinding motor, and adjust
the tension laterally so that a load of 1.57N±0.39N is applied
when the belt is sagged 1 mm at the position of F mark in the
figure.
aLoosen two setscrews in the ZA diffuser, and adjust the
clearance in the vertical direction.

aIf the position of ZA diffuser is
improper, suction of thread tends to
be malfunctioned.
Standard Adjustment
(10) ZA pipe direction
1) Oscillating direction
Air exhaust direction should be in the direction of
thread outlet hole in the bobbin case.
2) Sense of length
Air exhaust direction should be in the direction of
adjusting screw in the bobbin case.

Adjustment ProceduresResults of Improper Adjustment
aInstall the ZA pipe holder after adjusting the looseness in the
counterclockwise direction beforehand.
aLoosen two setscrews in the ZA pipe holder and adjust the
oscillating direction and the sense of length of the ZA pipe.
a Oscillating direction
When the direction is turned to the
frame side
Thread end to be guided flows to
anti frame side.
When the direction is turned to the anti
frame side
Thread end to be guided flows to
frame side.
a Sense of length
When the direction is turned to the
lower side of adjusting screw
Thread end to be guided flows
between ZA drive gear and bobbin
case.
When the direction is turned to the
upper side of adjusting screw
Thread end to be guided is likely to
be floppy.
aAdjust the flow rate by turning the knob of speed controller
located just below the outlet of solenoid valve on the piping
plate.
a Flow rate
Small Air flow is beaten by thread
strain and thread end cannot
be guided into the gear.
Large Thread runs around and the
thread end enters the
opening of bobbin case. As
a result, the thread end
cannot be guided into the
gear.
