IDENTIFICATION OF MACHINES

Each UNION SPECIAL machine is identified by a Style number which is on the name plate on the machine. Style numbers are classified as Standard and Special. Standard Style numbers have one or more letters suffixed, but never contain the letter "Z". Example: "Style 57700 R". Special Style numbers contain the letter "Z". When only minor changes are made in a standard machine, a "Z" is suffixed to the Standard Style number. Example: "Style 57700 RZ".

Styles of machines similar in construction are grouped under a Class number which differs from the Style number, in that it contains no letters. Example: "Class 57700".

APPLICATION OF CATALOG

This catalog applies specifically to the Standard Styles of machines as listed herein. It can also be applied with discretion to some Special Styles of machines in this Class. Reference to direction, such as right, left, front, back, etc., are given from the operator's position while seated at the machine. Operating direction of handwheel is toward the operator.

NEEDLES

Each UNION SPECIAL needle has both a type and size number. The type number denotes the kind of shank, point, length, groove, finish and other details. The size number, stamped on the needle shank, denotes largest diameter of blade, measured in thousandths of an inch, midway between shank and eye. Collectively, type and size number represent the complete symbol, which is given on the label of all needles packaged and sold by Union Special.

The standard recommended needle for the machines covered here is Type 121 GBS. Below is the description and sizes available of the recommended needle.

Type No.

Description and Sizes

121 GBS

Round shank, round point, short, single groove, struck groove, spotted, ball point, chromium plated - available in sizes 065/025, 070/027, 075/029, 080/032, 090/036, 100/040.

To have needle orders promptly and accurately filled, an empty package, a sample needle, or the type and size number should be forwarded. Use description on label. A complete order would read: "1000 Needles, Type 121 GBS, Size 080/032".

Selection of proper needle size is determined by the size of thread used. Thread should pass freely through needle eye in order to produce a good stitch formation.

Success in the operation of UNION SPECIAL machines can be secured only by use of needles packaged under our brand name, UnionSpecial®, which is backed by a reputation for producing highest quality needles in materials and workmanship for more than three-quarters of a century.

THREADING AND OILING DIAGRAM

Thread machine as indicated. The looper threading has been enlarged for clarity. The RIGHT needle thread should be threaded through the uppermost thread tensioner and eyelet holes closest to the bed casting. The machine illustrated is a two needle machine, but the three needle machines are threaded in substantially the same manner.

The oil has been drained from the machine before shipping, so the reservoir must be filled before starting to operate. To fill machine with oil, remove plug screw in top cover and add oil until the needle of oil gauge (A) is in gold band marked "FULL". Use a straight mineral oil of a Saybolt viscosity of 90 to 125 seconds at 100^ Fahrenheit. Maintain oil level in "OPERATE" position and add oil when needle is in gold band marked "LOW". The machine is automatically lubricated and no oiling other than keeping the main reservoir filled is necessary.

Excessive oil in the main reservoir may be drained at the plug screw (B).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MECHANICS

LUBRICATION

CAUTION! Oil has been drained from the main reservoir before shipment, so the reservoir must be filled to the proper level before beginning to operate. Run machine slowly for several minutes to distribute the oil to the various parts. Full speed operation can then be expected without damage.

Use a straight mineral oil of a Saybolt viscosity of 90 to 125 seconds at 100^ Fahrenheit in the main reservoir. This is equivalent to Union Special specification No. 175. Fill main reservoir at plug screw in upper crank chamber cover (A, Fig. 2) and check oil level at gauge (B). Oil is at maximum level when needle is in gold band marked "Full". Oil should be added when needle is in gold band marked "Low".

CAUTION! It is important that these machines not be over filled.

It is recommended that a new machine, or one that has been out of service for an extended period of time, be lubricated as follows: Remove the head cover, clean out lint and directly oil the needle bar link and the needle bar. Replace head cover as no further hand oiling will be required. Run machine slowly for several minutes to distribute oil to the various parts.

Oil may be drained from main reservoir by removing plug screw (C, Fig. 2) located below the cloth plate at front of the machine.

NOTE: Looper avoid and feed lift eccentrics receive oil thru the mainshaft, so when assembling be sure oil holes in the eccentric lines up with oil holes in mainshaft when spot screw is

in timespot. See paragraph on "Changing Stitch Length" for repacking feed rocker sealed greased bearings.

OIL GAUGE

The oil gauge is set at the factory to show the proper oil level in the reservoir. Should an adjustment become necessary, however, the following steps should be followed:

  1. Place the machine upright on a level table or bench.
  2. Remove the oil reservoir plug screw (C, Fig. 2) and tip machine forward to drain oil from the reservoir.
  3. Make sure all oil is drained from main reservoir.

OIL GAUGE (Continued)

  1. Remove lower crank chamber cover, located at the back of the machine.
  2. Fill main reservoir to a level even with the bottom contour of the knee press shaft bushing (D, Fig. 2).
  3. Loosen lock nut (E) on calibrating screw (F), and turn the screw to the left or right until the gauge needle rests in the middle of the gold band marked "LOW".
  4. Tighten lock nut (E) and replace plug screw (C).
  5. Add oil so that gauge needle rests in the middle of the gold band marked "FULL".

NEEDLE LEVER BEARING OILER

text_image Union Special C B A 64 (40mm)

Fig. 3

Remove the head cover and upper crank chamber cover (G, Fig. 2). Check position of needle lever bearing oiler (A, Fig. 3) located inside the arm casting, below the upper crank chamber cover, which lubricates the needle lever stud (B). Make sure it is tilted downwardly and that its delivery end (C) contacts the inside wall of the bed casting at the back, just above the notch of the needle lever shaft stop collar. (Do not allow the oiler to rest on the needle lever). Allow 1/64 inch (.40 mm) clearance as in Figure 3.

ALIGNING THE NEEDLE BAR

Align the needle bar (A, Fig. 4) and set to height, using the proper test pins and test plate of the right gauge. See chart below:

Machine StylesTest Plate No.Right Test Pin No.Left Test Pin No.
57700 R, T, V698 BB-8699 R-8699 L
57700 S, U698 BB-16699 D699 L

Insert test pin No. 699 L in the left seat of the needle holder and the proper right hand test pin (see chart) should be inserted in the right needle seat. Now assemble test plate to machine using the throat plate attaching screws. The needle bar is located properly if the test pins align with the holes in the test plate and the height of the needle bar is correct when the shoulder of the test pins rests on the test plate, when the needle is at its lowest position.

If test plate and test pins are not available, insert a new set of needles (Type and Size as required) and align the needle bar so that the needles correspond with the vertical face of the needle guard. To turn needle bar, loosen needle bar clamp screw (B, Fig. 4) and turn bar as required. Tighten clamp screw.

SYNCHRONIZING LOOPER AND NEEDLE MOTIONS

Check the synchronization of the looper and needle motions, using gauge No. 21227 R as follows:

Insert the pin (A, Fig. 5) in the looper rocker. Place the gauge plate (B) on the throat plate seat using the throat plate screws for attaching. Place the shank (C) of the indicator (D) in the needle thread take-up wire hole. Turn the handwheel in operating direction until the pin (A) contacts the edge of gauge plate (B) and set the indicator (D) so that the left end of the pointer (E) rests on top of the needle bar and the right end of the pointer aligns with "0". Tighten the set screw to secure the indicator in this position. Turn the handwheel in the reverse direction until pin (A) again contacts gauge plate (B). If the motions are in synchronization, the pointer of the indicator will return to the same reading. A variation of one graduation on the scale is allowable. If the reading is higher on the scale when the handwheel is turned in the operating direction, the looper drive lever shaft will have to be moved to the rear. If the reading is lower, the looper drive lever shaft will have to be moved to the front.

NOTE: If gauge No. 21227 R is not available, synchronization may be checked as follows:

Insert the looper in the looper rocker and turn the handwheel in operating direction until the point of the looper, moving to the left, is even with the left side of the right needle. Note the height of the eye of the needle with respect to the looper point, then turn the handwheel in reverse direction until the looper point again moves to the left and is even with the left side of the right needle. If the motions synchronize, the height of the eye of the needle with respect to the looper point will be the same. A variation of .005 inch (.13 mm) is

allowable. If the distance from the eye of the needle to the point of the looper is greatest when the handwheel is turned in the operating direction, move the looper drive shaft synchronizing stud (A, Fig. 6) to the rear. Moving it in the opposite direction acts the reverse.

Fig. 6

To move the looper drive shaft synchronizing stud to the rear (away from operator), loosen the clamp screw (B, Fig. 6) in the looper drive lever (C). A light tap with a small hammer, directly on the stud, is all that is required. To move stud forward (towards operator), remove the cloth plate, throat plate support, oil reservoir top cover and oil reservoir back cover. A light tap on the looper drive lever rocker shaft, toward the operator is all that is required. Then, using the looper drive lever (C) to take up the end play between the looper drive lever rocker shaft and its synchronizing stud (A), tighten the looper drive lever on the shaft, with clamp screw (B).

With the looper at the extreme right end of its travel, check the location of the right looper connecting rod bearing, using gauge No. 21227 DC (A, Fig. 7). Place the hole in gauge over threaded stud and the left inside edge of the gauge should locate against the left side of the looper rocker cone (B). If adjustment is necessary, loosen clamp screw (C), reposition looper drive lever (D) as required and retighten clamp screw.

NOTE: Whenever looper drive lever is repositioned, apply pressure to rear to assure that "O" ring is compressed, pre-

venting oil leakage, and take up all the end play.

SETTING THE LOOPER

Insert a new needle in the right needle seat, type and size as specified. If the looper gauge is 3/16 inch (4.76 mm), for example, set the looper (A, Fig. 8) so the distance from the center of the right needle (B) to the point of the looper is 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) when the looper is at its farthest position to the right. Looper gauge No. 21225-3/16 can be used advantageously in making this adjustment. Refer to chart for looper gauge setting and looper gauge number applicable to machine Style. If adjustment is required, loosen nut (C) (it has a left hand thread) and nut (D) on connecting rod (E), turn the connecting rod forward or backward to obtain specified dimension. Retighten both nuts, first nut (D) and then nut (C). Make sure the left ball joint is in vertical position and does not bind after adjustment.

The looper is set correctly in line-of-feed, if, as it moves to the left, behind the needle, its point brushes, but does not pick at the rear of the needle. If adjustment is necessary, loosen lock screw (F, Fig. 8) and turn stop screw (G) as required. Turning stop screw clockwise sets the looper to the rear and turning it counterclockwise acts the reverse. Holding looper to the front while making this adjustment may prove helpful. Tighten lock screw when setting is obtained and re-check the adjustment.

SETTING HEIGHT OF NEEDLE BAR

The height of the needle bar should be correct if proper test plate and test pins were used to "align" needle bar. If not, the height of the needle is correct when the top of its eye is 3/64 inch (1.19 mm) below the underside of the looper, with the looper point flush with the left side of the left needle. If adjustment is necessary, loosen screw (B, Fig. 4) and move needle bar (A) up or down as required and re-tighten screw. Care should be taken not to disturb the alignment of the needle bar when moving it up or down.

The needles are to have equal clearance on the right and left sides of needle slots in throat plate. The descending needles must be deflected alike on the back of the looper.

SETTING THE DIFFERENTIAL FEED DOG (FOR STYLES 57700 T and U)

The differential feed dog should be set to rise the depth of a full tooth or approximately 3/64 inch (1.19mm) above the throat plate at highest point of travel. Adjustment can be made by loosening screw (A, Fig. 9 or B, Fig. 12), raise or lower feed dog (B, Fig. 9) and retighten screw. At maximum feed travel, the feed dog should clear the forward end of throat plate by 1/32 inch (.79 mm) Fig. 10; also parallel to the top surface of throat plate and centered in throat plate slot across-the-line-of-feed. Adjustments can be made by loosening set screws (A, Fig. 10 or C, Fig. 12), permitting the differential feed bar (B, Fig. 10 or D, Fig. 12), to be moved forward, backward or rotated as needed to acquire the aforementioned conditions. Under extreme circumstances it may be necessary to shift the complete feed mechanism slightly, to the right or left to meet these conditions. This can be done by loosening collars (C, Fig. 10) and moving feed rocker (D); retighten collars and set screws securely. Make sure the feed rocker arm does not bind after making this adjustment.

SETTING THE MAIN FEED DOG (FOR STYLES 57700 T and U)

The main feed dog should also be set to rise the depth of a full tooth above the throat plate at highest point of travel and centered in the slots of throat plate at maximum feed travel.

To raise or lower main feed dog, loosen Allen screw (C, Fig. 9) allowing feed dog holder (D) to be moved. NOTE: Screw (E) must be set to support the main feed dog (F) when specified height is obtained. Retighten screw (C).

NOTE: Any change in the setting of main feed dog height will necessitate a check of the rear needle guard setting.

To center main feed dog in the slots of throat plate across-line-of-feed, loosen screws (A, Fig. 11), move feed dog to the right or left as required, retighten screws. To center the feed dog in-line-

of-feed, loosen nut (A, Fig. 12) and move feed rocker forward or backward as needed, retighten nut.

NOTE: Recheck differential feed dog setting.

SETTING THE DIFFERENTIAL FEED RATIO (FOR STYLES 57700 T and U)

Union Special 57700T - SETTING THE DIFFERENTIAL FEED RATIO (FOR STYLES 57700 T and U) - 1

text_image Technical diagram of a mechanical assembly with labeled parts A through G

Fig. 11

The differential feed ratio is set by loosening screw (B, Fig. 11) and move the selector slide (C) to the desired position. The screw and selector slide are accessible through the top of the cloth plate on the left side. Moving the differential feed selector slide (C) toward the front increases the amount of differential and moving it toward the rear decreases the amount of differential feed. Retighten screw.

These styles of machines have an infinite stretching ability and a gathering ratio of up to 2 to 1, with the main feed dog set at 9 stitches per inch. Turn machine by hand, making sure the differential feed dog clears the main feed dog at the back end of its stroke.

SETTING THE FEED DOG (FOR STYLES 57700 R, S, V)

Set the feed dog (A, Fig. 13) in the throat plate (B) so there is equal clearance on all sides. See that the tips of the teeth extend the depth of a tooth or approximately 3/64 inch (1.19 mm) above the throat plate and are parallel with the throat plate at high point of travel. Adjust the supporting screw (C), under the feed dog, to maintain this setting. Screw (D) is used to hold feed dog in position.

If feed dog teeth are not parallel with the throat plate, loosen nut (A, Fig. 14) and turn screw (B) clockwise to lower the front teeth and counterclockwise to raise the front teeth. Retighten nut when feed dog is set properly.

Should it be necessary to move the feed dog to the left or right, loosen screws (A, Fig. 15), which hold the feed rocker (B) onto the feed rocker shaft (C) and move feed rocker to desired position then retighten the screws. Make sure the feed rocker arm (D) does not bind after making this adjustment.

When handwheel is turned in the operating direction, feed dog should have equal clearance at both ends of throat plate slots, with feed travel set to desired stitch length.

SETTING THE FEED DOG (Continued) (FOR STYLES 57700 R, S, V)

Should it be necessary to move the feed dog forward or backward, loosen nut (E, Fig. 15) which clamps the feed rocker arm to the feed rocker and move feed rocker forward or backward as necessary. Retighten nut.

SETTING THE REAR NEEDLE GUARD

(FOR STYLES 57700 T and U)

Set the rear needle guard (D, Fig. 11) horizontally so that it does not quite contact the rear of the right needle (E) when at its most forward point of travel. A clearance of .005 inch (.13 mm) is permissible. It should be set as low as possible, yet have its vertical face approach within about 3/64 inch (1.19 mm) of the needle, until the point of the looper (F), moving to the left, is even with the needle. To move needle guard, merely loosen screw (G), move needle guard as required, and retighten screw.

Set the rear needle guard (C, Fig. 14) horizontally so that it does not quite contact the rear of the right needle (D) when at its most forward point of travel. A clearance of .005 inch (.13 mm) is permissible. It should be set as low as possible, yet have its vertical face approach within about 3/64 inch (1.19 mm) of the needle, until the point of the looper (E), moving to the left, is even with the needle. To move needle guard forward or backward, merely loosen screw (F), move needle guard as required, and retighten screw. To raise or lower needle guard,

loosen screw (F), and turn screw (G) clockwise to lower needle guard and counterclockwise to raise it. Retighten screw (F) after guard is properly set.

NOTE: A change in stitch length will require a change in rear needle guard setting.

SETTING FRONT NEEDLE GUARD

Set the front needle guard so that it pushes the left needle back toward the path of the looper as it moves behind the needle. The looper may brush but not pick at the left needle. It should be set as low as possible, yet have its vertical face push the left needle until the point of the looper is just past the left side of the left needle. The front needle guard should not contact the rear needle guard or right needle at any time. To move guard forward or backward, merely loosen screws (H, Fig. 11) move needle guard as required and retighten screws. To raise, lower or rotate needle guard, loosen screws (J), move guard and retighten screws after guard is properly set.

Union Special 57700T - SETTING FRONT NEEDLE GUARD - 1

text_image A B

Fig. 16

SETTING FRONT NEEDLE GUARD (Continued)

NOTE: A change in stitch length WILL NOT require a change in front needle guard setting.

CHANGING STITCH LENGTH

Set the stitch to required length. This is accomplished by loosening lock nut (F, Fig. 15) 1/2 turn (it has a left thread) on the end of the stitch regulating stud and turning the stitch adjusting screw (G) located under the left end of the cloth plate in the head of the main shaft (H) which is marked with "L" and "S". Turning the screw in a clockwise direction shortens the stitch (moves stitch regulating stud toward the "S") and turning it in a counterclockwise direction lengthens the stitch (moves stitch regulating stud toward the "L"). Retighten the lock nut securely. To prevent destructive damage to the feed drive bearing, the key screw (J) must engage the "U" shaped key slot in the ferrule (K).

On Styles 57700 R, S and V, the feed rocker assembly may require lubrication after years of operation at the feed rocker needle bearings (L and M, Fig. 15). This can be accomplished by loosening Allen screw (N) and remove shaft (P). When packing needle bearings, parts must be clean and grease should be applied directly from the tube to avoid contamination. Tube of grease can be supplied under part No. 28604 P. Replace shaft inserting tapered end first and tighten screw (N).

THREAD TENSION RELEASE

The thread tension release is set correctly when it begins to function as the presser foot is raised to within 1/8 inch (3.17 mm) of the end of its travel and is entirely released when the presser foot has reached its highest position.

If adjustment is needed, loosen tension release lever screw (A, Fig. 16) located at the back of the machine and move tension disc separator as required. Retighten screw. After adjustment there should be no binding at any point.

SETTING HEIGHT OF PRESSER BAR

The height of the presser bar (C, Fig. 4) is set correctly if it is possible to remove the presser foot when the foot lifter lever (B, Fig. 16) is fully depressed. Also there should be approximately 1/16 inch (1.59 mm) clearance between lower surface of the presser bar connection and guide (D, Fig. 4) and the bottom surface of head opening in the bed when the foot lifter lever is released and the presser foot resting on the throat plate, with the feed dog down below the throat plate.

If adjustment is needed, turn handwheel in operating direction until the needle bar is in the low position. Loosen screw (E, Fig. 4) then, while holding presser foot down on the throat plate surface, pry up presser bar connection and guide with a screwdriver to obtain the 1/16 inch (1.59 mm) setting and retighten screw. Check setting by turning handwheel so that needle bar is in its high position and see if presser foot can be removed as mentioned in previous paragraph.

METERING DEVICE ADJUSTMENTS

The metering device MUST operate freely with the connecting rod assembly (A, Fig. 17) positioned at any point in the clutch drive lever (B) and the clutch rocker shaft lever (C).

NOTE: Once the metering device has been adjusted properly, the (2) threaded holes in the clutch rocker shaft lever are provided for positioning the connecting rod assembly as near VERTICAL as possible when EXTREME right or left positions in the clutch drive lever are being used.

METERING DEVICE ADJUSTMENTS (Continued)

If adjustment is required, first, check and/or adjust the connecting rod assembly. There should be 2 inches (50.8 mm) between centerline of screw and centerline of ball stud (Fig. 17). Reposition clutch drive lever (B) on the needle lever shaft, up or down as required, so the connecting rod assembly does not bind, moving to either extreme of travel while turning handwheel in the operating direction. The connecting rod assembly should have a SLIGHT SHAKE in all positions. The clutch drive lever may require a slight adjustment when moving connecting rod assembly as described in "NOTE".

Fig. 17

As sewing conditions require, moving the connecting rod assembly to the left, in the clutch drive lever, increases the amount of elastic being metered; moving it to the right, decreases the amount of elastic being metered.

The clutch brake is set at the factory, though a considerable change in stitch length may necessitate a change in the amount of brake pressure required to eliminate overthrow of the metering device at high speeds. Should adjustment be necessary, loosen nut (D, Fig. 17) and turn bushing (E) clockwise to lessen clutch overthrow (viewed from the handwheel end of machine); turning bushing counterclockwise acts the reverse. NOTE: Apply only enough brake pressure to eliminate overthrow. Too much brake pressure will create excessive heat and wear to the metering device mechanism. Retighten nut (D).

Tension on the metering device pressure roller (F) can be adjusted by loosening set screws and rotating hexagon collar (G) as required, retighten set screws. Normal setting about 1/4 turn.

The tape guides (H) are set correctly when they hold the elastic to the left against the presser foot guide.

UNDERTRIMMER ADJUSTMENTS (FOR ALL STYLES EXCEPT 57700 V)

The lower knife (A, Fig. 18) should be set with cutting edge flush with throat plate surface, at approximately a one degree shear angle (Fig. 18A). Adjustment can be made by loosening hexagonal head screw (B, Fig. 18) permitting lower knife to be moved up or down; loosening (2) screws (C) will allow positioning of lower knife block (D) to obtain the proper shear angle. Never loosen screw (E) for adjusting purposes, it should remain tight at all times. After adjustments are made, tighten screws (B and C) securely.

UNDERTRIMMER ADJUSTMENTS (Continued) (FOR ALL STYLES EXCEPT 57700 V)

The upper knife (F, Fig. 18) should be set to align its cutting edge with the centerline of right needle and to engage lower knife for full cutting length. This can be accomplished by loosening screw (G) permitting upper knife to be moved forward or rearward; loosen screws (H and J) and turn eccentric (K) as required to obtain proper positioning for up and down movements. Retighten screws securely.

Set the lower chip chute to clear looper connecting rod and cast-off support plate. Set the upper chip chute to clear the lower chip chute at bottom of stroke and tight against the right side of upper knife.

THREADING

Thread machine as indicated in Fig. 1 and start sewing on a piece of fabric.

THREAD TENSIONS

The tension on the needle threads should be only sufficient to produce uniform stitches on the under surface of the fabric. Tension on the looper thread should be just sufficient to steady the thread.

SETTING THE NEEDLE THREAD FRAME EYELET AND TAKE-UP WIRE

Set the needle threadframe eyelet hole 3/8 inch (9.52 mm) above the center of its mounting screw. Lower for more needle thread in the stitch, raise for less. Top of the take-up wire should be set even with top of the holes in the needle bar thread eyelet when needle bar is at the bottom of its stroke. Lower this setting for less needle loop, reverse for more loop.

SETTING LOOPER THREAD TAKE-UP

The looper thread take-up (M, Fig. 18) is not spotted on the main shaft and, consequently, can be set to compensate for varying conditions. It is set correctly when the looper thread is just cast off the highest lobe of the take-up when the point of the left needle is clearly visible below the underside of the looper. The cast-off plate assembly (N) is adjustable, and its setting determines the amount of thread pulled off by the take-up. Moving the cast-off plate assembly up towards the bottom of the screw slots causes more thread to be pulled from the cones, and moving the cast-off plate assembly down towards the top of the screw slots causes less thread to be pulled. The cast-off plate assembly is set correctly when the looper thread just becomes taut as the looper reaches its extreme position to the left. Additional looper thread control can be obtained by raising or lowering the retaining finger (P) which is secured by screw (R). The retaining finger should be centered in the take-up disc with its bottom edge set parallel to and approximately 3/16 inch (4.76 mm) above cast-off plate assembly.

PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE

Regulate the presser spring regulating screw so that it exerts only enough pressure on the presser foot to feed the work uniformly when a slight tension is placed on the fabric. Turning it clockwise increases the pressure, counterclockwise acts the reverse.

ORDERING REPAIR PARTS

ILLUSTRATIONS

This catalog has been arranged to simplify ordering repair parts. Exploded views of various sections of the mechanism are shown so that the parts may be seen in their actual position in the machine. On the page opposite the illustration will be found a listing of the parts with their part number, description, and the number of pieces required in the particular view being shown.

Numbers in the first column are reference numbers only, and merely indicate the position of that part in the illustration. Reference numbers should never be used in ordering parts. Always use the part number listed in the second column.

Component parts of sub-assemblies which can be furnished for repairs are indicated by indenting their descriptions under the description of the main sub-assembly. Example:

Ref.No.PartNo.DescriptionAmt.Req.

ORDERING REPAIR PARTS (Continued)

ILLUSTRATIONS

It will be noted in the example shown on the previous page that the eccentric and bearing are not listed. The reason is that replacement of these parts individually is not recommended, so the complete sub-assembly should be ordered.

At the back of the book will be found a numerical index of all the parts shown in this book. This will facilitate locating the illustration and description when only the part number is known.

IDENTIFYING PARTS

Where the construction permits, each part is stamped with its part number. On some of the smaller parts, and on those where the construction does not permit, an identification letter is stamped in to distinguish the part from similar ones.

Part numbers represent the same part, regardless of the catalog in which they appear.

IMPORTANT! ON ALL ORDERS, PLEASE INCLUDE PART NAME AND STYLE OF MACHINE FOR WHICH PART IS ORDERED.

USE GENUINE NEEDLES AND REPAIR PARTS

Success in the operation of these machines can be secured only with genuine UNION SPECIAL Needles and Repair Parts as furnished by the Union Special Corporation, its subsidiaries and authorized distributors. They are designed according to the most approved scientific principles, and are made with utmost precision. Maximum efficiency and durability are assured.

TERMS

Prices are net cash and are subject to change without notice. All shipments are forwarded f.o.b. shipping point, Parcel Post shipments are insured unless otherwise directed. A charge is made to cover postage and insurance.

TORQUE REQUIREMENTS

Torque (measured in inch-pounds) is a rotating force (in pounds) applied through a distance by a lever (in inches or feet). This is accomplished by a wrench, screw driver, etc. Many of these devices are available, which when set at the proper amount of torque will tighten the part to the correct amount and no tighter.

All straps and eccentrics should be tightened to 19-21 inch-pounds (22-24 cm/kg) unless otherwise noted. All other nuts, bolts, screws, etc., should be tightened by hand as tightly as possible, unless otherwise noted.

The screws requiring a specific torque, will be indicated on the picture plates.

Union Special Wants to Help You Cut Sewing Machine Maintenance Costs

Union Special is offering two practical systems to help pinpoint and reduce your sewing machine maintenance costs: a record keeping system to help spot machines requiring abnormally high maintenance, and a parts inventory system to speed routine repairs.

Machine Maintenance Records

Repair-prone machines or inexperienced competent operators can eat up your maintenance dollars in short order. To help spot these problems, Union Special suggests two variations of a simple maintenance record keeping system using cards provided by Union Special.

The first system utilizes a "Machine Maintenance Record" card (Form 237) for each sewing machine in a plant. When a repair is required, the card is pulled from the file and the repair date, parts used, and their cost are entered in the spaces provided and the card is refiled.

The second system is normally used when more detailed information on repair costs is desired. Two record cards are used: a "Repair Request Card" (Form 234), and a "Machine Repair Record" (Form 233). When a machine requires service, the forelady or foreman fills out the top of a "Repair Request Card" and gives it to a mechanic. He fills in the time the repair work is started, the parts used and their cost,

and the completion time. This data is then transferred to the permanent "Machine Repair Record" kept in the office.

Whichever system is used, management now has an invaluable tool to reduce needless maintenance costs.

Repair Part Inventories

While record keeping tells management which machines require abnormally high maintenance, it does little to help reduce the downtime caused by routine repairs. To alleviate this situation, Union Special recommends that manufacturers establish a formal parts inventory system for each type of sewing machine they operate.

Excessive machine downtime and wasted hours by mechanics can be eliminated with an orderly in-plant inventory of the most commonly needed parts. There is no longer a need to cannibalize other machines for spare parts. Long waits for deliveries are avoided and machine downtime is kept to a minimum. The cost of a parts inventory is small when the overall savings are considered.
