2.3 Motor, pulley and belt

See the instruction manual for the motor to use and install the motor properly.

To install the clutch motor, align the center of the machine pulley with that of the motor pulley when the motor pulley shifts to the left by toeing down the pedal.

NOTE: Table 2 shows the outside diameter of the motor pulley, rpm of the machine, and size of the belt when using the clutch motor of 3-phase, 2-pole, 400W(1/2HP).

The outside diameter on the table shows the nearest size to the calculated values based on the commercial pulleys at intervals of 5 mm.

CAUTION

Use only those motor pulleys applicable to the machine. If not, the sewing speed will be over maximum and the machine will be damaged.

Servomotor:

Calculate the outside diameter of a motor pulley from the formula as below.

Or see Table 3 to select a proper motor pulley diameter.

$$ \begin{array}{l} \text { Outside diameter } \ \text { of motor pulley } \end{array} = \frac {\text { Usual sewing speed }}{\text { Servomotor speed }} \times 4 8. 5 + 5 \mathrm{mm} $$

Belt

Use a V-belt of M type.

For belt size, refer to Table 2.

3. Sewing speed and rotating direction of pulley

Table 4 shows the maximum sewing speed of each model. Run a new machine at 15 - 20% lower rotating speed of its maximum rpm during the first 200 hours (for about one month) so that the machine can offer a long service life in good condition.

The rotating direction of the motor pulley ① and the machine pulley ② is clockwise as shown in the figure.

CAUTION

If rotating in reverse direction, oil can not be supplied properly, and the machine can be damaged.

4.1 Lubricating oil

Use YAMATO SF OIL No. 28.

CAUTION

NEVER add additives to the oil. If added, it can cause the deterioration of the oil and the damage to the machine.

4.2 Lubricating

When using a new machine or a machine which has not been run for a while, supply few drops of oil to the needle bar ① and the looper bar ②.

Remove the oil cap ③ indicated “OIL-IN” and supply oil to the upper line of the oil sight gauge ④.

Make sure that the oil splashes from the nozzle inside the oil cap ③ when running the machine.

If oil does not splash from the nozzle, see "4.4 Checking and replacing oil filter" on page 12.

CAUTION

Too much oil or insufficient oil can cause oil leakage and machine trouble. Be sure to keep the oil level between the lines. Also too much lubrication can cause oil scatter and material stain.

4.3 Changing oil

Period :

When using a new machine, change the lubricating oil after running the machine for 200 hours (about one month). After that, change the oil once or twice a year.

Procedure :

(1) Remove the belt cover. (See page 9)
(2) Remove V-belt from the motor pulley. (See page 9)
(3) Remove the machine from the machine table.
(4) Set a container under the screw ① to receive the oil.
(5) After removing screw ①, the oil will drain out.

NOTE

Be careful not to soil the V-belt and the machine pulley with the oil.

(6) Reset the screw ①.
(7) Change the oil. (See "4.2 Lubrication" on page 11)
(8) Reinstall the machine on the machine table.
(9) Hang the V-belt on the motor pulley and reinstall the belt cover. (See page 9)

4.4 Checking and replacing oil filter

◆ If the oil filter② is clogged with dust, lubrication cannot be done properly.
◆ Remove the oil filter cap ③ and the oil filter ② to check them every six months. If clogged or cracked, clean or replace the oil filter.
◆ If the oil splashes from the nozzle insufficiently or includes many bubbles even though oil is sufficiently kept, check or replace the oil filter.

NOTE

Be careful the oil may spill out from the oil filter ②, when loosening the screw ④.

Each graduation on the machine pulley indicates the length(mm) for one stitch.

Actual stitch length may different from the length on graduations. It may changes depending on the application, type, weight of material or the differential ratio.

(1) Rotate the pulley while pressing the push button ①. At the point that the push button can go in, press it again strongly.
(2) Then align the desired graduation of the pulley with the mark ② on the belt cover.
(3) Release the push button ①.
● To make stitch length smaller, turn the pulley in the direction "S".
● To make stitch length greater, turn it in the direction "L".

CAUTION

Make sure that push button is released completely and the pulley rotates smoothly.

The adjustable range of the stitch length is shown in Table 8.

5.10 SP device and HR device

The SP device(needle thread oiling) and HR device(needle point cooling) are equipped as standard (excluding some models) to prevent thread breakage and skip stitch when running the machine at high speed or using synthetic thread and/or synthetic fabric.

CAUTION

1. When not using SP device and HR device, remove the felts ③ and ⑤. If not removed, the sewing condition may be adversely affected.
2. If the silicone oil is stuck to the parts other than SP and HR devices, it can cause the machine trouble. Be sure to wipe it away.

Use dimethyl silicone oil.

Check the oil amount in SP tank ①. If not enough, supply the oil into the hole ②.

Open the oil container plug ④ of HR device and check the oil amount. If not enough, supply the oil.

5.11 Cleaning the machine

WARNING

Before cleaning, ALWAYS turn the motor switch OFF and check that the motor has already stopped.

The sewing machine should be cleaned at the end of every working day.

Grooves of stitch plate and the area around feed dogs should be cleaned once a week.

CAUTION

Clogged dust can cause breakage to parts and oil leakage.

Checking at sewing factory (maintenance by technician)

Daily maintenance:

(1) Before operation, remove the machine cover and re-thread correctly. Make sure there is no slack. Check that the thread hanger is right above the spool seat discs of the thread stands (the thread stands should be fixed securely).
(2) Check the lubricating and silicone oil amount. Supply them if necessary.
(3) Check the order of threads.
(4) Check bend of needles, damage to tips, and the setting positions respectively.

6.6.5 Sharpening knives

If the lower knife cuts badly, re-sharpen it. (See Fig. 6-13)

The upper knife made of super hard alloy is unnecessary to re-sharpen for about one year and normal grinder is not useful for re-sharpening it.

Keep another upper knife for spare.

If needed, contact us directly or a dealer for re-sharpening.
