On the back of the arm is a round plate or cover, fastened by a thumb screw; loosen the
screw, turn the plate upward and fasten by tightening the screw; turn the balance wheel
slowly and oil the moving parts inside, then turn the cover down and fasten it as before.
To reach the parts underneath the bed, the belt must be thrown oil the band wheel on the
machine stand. For this purpose a belt shifter (6, Fig. 1) is placed at the front of the band
wheel. By pressing the belt shifter lever to the left and working the treadle meanwhile, the belt
is released and the head can then be turned back on its hinges. The places to be oiled are
indicated in Fig. 17, by arrows pointing to the oil holes and bearings.

and both ends of the pitman rod which connects the treadle with the band wheel.
