(4) Crank balancer positioning

Standard Adjustment

[Rotating direction]

When the needle bar lowers and the clearance between the needle bar connecting and the needle bar bushing, lower is 4.6mm, the two set screws of the crank balancer assume the horizontal condition.

[Axial direction]

Keep the close contact with the main shaft eccentric cam and the crank balancer .

4.6mm

(5) Lower shaft backlash adjustment and connection/disconnection

Standard Adjustment

1. Size of lower shaft backlash is 0.1mm at the tip of the driver . The shaft is required to rotate smoothly.

2. Define the stop position of the lower shaft so that the set screw settles almost in the center of the flat section of the lower shaft .

0.1mm or less

Face A

– 11 –

If the main shaft eccentric cam is not fixed, this adjustment should be carried out after defining its position and fixing it.

1. Loosen the two set screws of the crank balancer .

2. Using the four set screws , remove the crank rod cover .

3. Turn the main shaft in the direction of forward rotation A so that the needle bar lowers and the clearance between the needle bar connecting and the needle bar bushing, lower is 4.6mm.

4. In the state that the two set screws of the crank balancer assume the horizontal condition and they are moved in the direction of the arrow mark B, keep the close contact with the main shaft eccentric cam and tighten the two set screws . When tightening these two set screws , the screws should be tightened reciprocally.

Adjustment Procedures

Results of Improper Adjustment

o If the angle for fixing the crank

balancer is inadequate, vibration of sewing machine operation will be intensified.

o If the sewing machine is used for

a long time while the fixing position is inadequate, the operational life of the main shaft bearing may be shortened.

o If the crank balancer is not

moved in the direction of the arrow mark B, there may be interference with the sewing machine frame.

1. Lower shaft backlash

1) Loosen the two set screws .

2) Turn the lower shaft rear metal in the direction of the arrow and adjust

the backlash, keeping the metal to contact closely with Face A. Size of backlash is 0.1mm at the tip of the driver . The shaft is required to rotate smoothly.

3) Tighten the two set screws .

(Caution) When eliminate the backlash, the direction of rotation

should always be kept in the direction of the arrow.

2. Lower shaft connection/disconnection

1) Loosen the two set screws .

2) The lower shaft can be taken out if it is pulled in the direction

of the arrow.

3) When mounting the lower shaft , insert it in the lower shaft rear

metal and the lower shaft gear . Apply one of the set screws

to the flat section of the lower shaft and tighten it approxi-

mately in the center. Tighten the remaining set screw .

* Connection and disconnection of the lower shaft become easy if

the above-mentioned backlash has been relieved in advance. In this case, backlash adjustment must be done after the lower shaft has been installed.

Adjustment Procedures

Results of Improper Adjustment

o If the backlash is excessive, the

hook noise will be increased.

o If backlash is too small, the lower

shaft gear or the oscillator will give rise to frictional wear. In addition, this can be a cause of crank rod lock-up.

o If the front or rear position of the

lower shaft rear metal is displaced at the time of backlash adjustment, this can also be a cause of the lock-up of oscilator or the crank rod.

1. Loosen the set screw and remove it.

2. When the adjusting screw is tightened, the quantity of oil can be regulated for the lubrication pipe left .

3. After adjustments, tighten the set screw to fix it.

(Cautions) 1. In the state of standard shipping, the hook lubrica-

tion reducer is positioned so that it is lightly tightened and then return-loosened by 4 turns.

2. When reducing the oil amount, the screw should not be tightened up fully. Tighten the hook lubrication reducer and then return it by two turns. In this position, wait for half a day to see how it goes. Too much reduction can be a cause of hook wear.

Adjustment Procedures

Results of Improper Adjustment

o If the amount of hook lubricant is

reduced too much, this can be a cause of frictional wear of the hook race plane or lock-up.

1. Loosen the two set screws and increase the backlash of the lower shaft gear .

(Caution) 1. If the lower shaft gear has insufficient backlash,

the oscillator does not swing correctly. In such a case, refer to [(5) Lower shaft backlash adjustment and connection/disconnection] and provide a sufficient backlash.

2. The three set screws should have been loosened in advance. In this case, the second screw of the set screws should be loosened first. Then, the first one can be loosened.

3. Lightly swing the whole body of the oscillator with a finger in the direction of the arrow. Decide the positioning of the oscillator so that it stays in the center of swinging.

4. Loosen the three set screws and then fix them so that the oscillator is not displaced from the center of swinging. (Tighten the first screw first so that it comes in contact flatly with the oscillator shaft . Then, tighten the second one.)

5. Make backlash adjustment for the lower shaft gear , according to [(5) Lower shaft backlash adjustment and connection/ disconnection].

(Cautions)1. In the case of disassembly and adjustment, grease-

up treatment is always needed for the specified places (2 positions) and the gear area A of the oscillator .

2. When the crank rod (under-cam) is removed, actions for under-cam positioning must be taken, without fail. Refer to [(3) Crank connecting rod connection/ disconnection].

Adjustment Procedures

Results of Improper Adjustment

o If the position for fixing the

oscillator is inadequate, this can also be a cause of the frictional wear or lock-up of the oscillator pin, crank rod lid, undercam, and the crank rod.

2) Push the needle thread clamp link complete in Direction A so that the distance between the needle thread clamp device and the needle thread clamp base becomes 21mm. Move the needle thread clamp notch R in Direction D, lightly push it toward the needle thread clamp cam plate , and tighten the two set screws .

2. Needle thread clamp notch F adjustment

1) Loosen the two set screws .

2) Push the needle thread clamp link complete in Direction C so that the distance between the needle thread clamp device and the needle thread clamp base becomes 23mm. Move the needle thread clamp notch F in Direction E, lightly push it toward the needle thread clamp cam plate , and tighten the two set screws .

Adjustment Procedures

Results of Improper Adjustment

o If the distance between the needle

thread clamp device and needle thread clamp base comes to leager than 21mm, release timing turns so early that unthreading at the beginning of sewing is caused.

o If the distance between the needle

thread clamp device and needle thread base comes to smaller than 21mm, release timing turns so slowly that needle thread remains on the back side of the material is caused.

o If the distance between the needle

thread clamp device and needle thread clamp base comes to larger than 23mm, clamp timing turns so early that needle thread remains on the back side of the material or jamming of needle thread in to the needle thraed clamp device is caused.

o If the distance between the needle

thraed clamp device and needle thread clamp base comes to smaller than 23mm, clamp timing turns so slowly that needle thread clamp error is caused.

1. Open the upper cover and take out the grease cover

2. Remove the rubber cap that is located beside the eccentric cam . Feed the specified grease (Juki Grease B ).

1. Lay down the sewing machine body and remove the grease cover .

2. Remove the set screw of the oscillator gear and screw in the Juki Grease B into the threaded hole. This grease tube is attached with an accessory grease joint . Then, the grease can be replenished. (The amount of grease to be replenished is 0.74 grams.)

3. After the grease has been replenished, firmly fasten the set screw that has been removed.

(5) Grease-up procedures for the specified position

When sewing operation is repeated for a certain time period, Error Code No. E220 is displayed at the operation panel when the power supply is turned ON. This error code is used for the indication of the grease replenishing time for the specified parts. When you see this error code, replenish the grease specified below, without fail. After greasing, call the memory switch No. 245 and set up “0” with the reset key. Even after the display of Error Code No. E220, this error code can be canceled by pressing the reset key and the machine can be used continuously. Since then, however, this Error Code No. E220 is displayed each time the power supply is turned on. When the sewing machine is used further for the specified time period after the display of Error Code No. E220, Error Code No. E221 is then displayed. In this case, this error code cannot be canceled even though the reset key is pressed, and the sewing machine cannot work anymore. Therefore, when this Error Code No. E221 is displayed, replenish the grease, without fail, to the parts specified below. Start the memory switch and set up the Memory switch No. 245 at “0” with the reset key.

Cautions: 1. If the memory switch No. 245 is not reset at “0” after the replenishment of grease, Error No.

E220 or No. E221 will be displayed again.

2. For the replenishment of grease to the parts specified below, use the attached Juki Grease B (Part No. 40013640). If any grease other than the specified item is replenished, this can be

a cause of destruction of parts.
