(Standard adjustment) Adjust the marking 5 on the eccentric
to marking 6 located in the rear on the lower shaft.
4. Loosen setscrew 4 in the eccentric. If the marking is adjusted
to the front of the rotational direction, the timing of looper thread
take-up 7 and spreader in terms of needle and looper is
advanced.
5. For assembling after the adjustment, tighten setscrew 4 in the
eccentric at the position where the clearance A between the
spreader eccentric and the lower shaft bushing is 1 to 1.2 mm.
(Caution) 1. After this adjustment, be sure to adjust the
timing of needle, looper and spreader.
2. After adjusting the eccentric, timing of looper
thread take-up 7 changes. Adjust the timing and
change the looper thread tension as well.
