Levers Up = Gear Disengaged / Free Motion

1. Make sure power is reaching the computer by

checking that the power cord is plugged into the

power supply located at the back of the carriage.

The barrel-shaped power connector should

then be plugged into the bottom of the black

box behind the computer, and the short power

cord connects the black box to the computer.

The computer will run on AC power as long as

this connection is made. If the cable becomes

unplugged, the computer will continue to run on

battery power until the battery dies.

2. The tablet computer can be turned on by pressing

the power switch at the top left-hand side of the

screen (Figure 3.29).

3. Shutting down the computer should be done

using the “Shut Down” button in the Pro-Stitcher

software. If needed, the power switch may be

pressed in order to begin a shut-down sequence.

This should only be used if the “Shut Down”

button cannot be accessed or does not work.

4. Leaving the Pro-Stitcher computer powered on

with the power cord unplugged will result in the

battery discharging and the computer eventually

shutting itself down.

5. If the Pro-Stitcher computer is left on for a long

period of time, the screen may turn black and

enter a sleep mode. It can be revived by tapping

on the screen or pressing the Windows button at

the bottom left-hand side of the computer if it is

glowing orange.

Carriage Quick Release Levers

To move the quilting machine around on the

table after the program has loaded, press the

“Engaged” button on the top right-hand side of

the touch screen. This toggles the motors between

being “engaged” and being “disengaged.” Use the

mechanical disengagement levers on the right-hand

side of the carriage to physically disengage the white

carriage gears from the blue racks (Figure 3.30).

This allows true “free motion” quilting with no

added resistance from the Pro-Stitcher. For both

levers, the Down position is “Engaged” and the Up

position is “Disengaged.”
