LATCH RACE COVER KOOK CLAMPS
-shuttle race cover--shuttle
(book) - - must cdl be removed from the shuttle
race, which is built in to the machine.
Move needle and take-up lever to their high­
est points. Next, lift and tip machine back-
word. It will remain at an upright angle rest­
ing on its cabinet or base hinges - - making the
parts underneath bedplate readily accessible.
Lift fingernail latch on bobbin case and re­
move from machine. Push top ends of both
race clamps outward (in opposite directions).
Now the shuttle race cover can be removed
--usually dropping into your hands.
Finger-grip the center pin of shuttle (hook)
and remove from machine. Thoroughly clean
shuttle race (in Machine)race cover and shuttle
itself. Of some scraping is necessary to get
every bit of thread and lint removed from
edges
or comers, be sure to cover screw
driver with soft cloth. Before reassembling all
parts into machine put one drop of oil on a
finger-tip; then run the finger tip around outer
edge
of shuttle (hook). Avoid excessive oil
on shuttle rim. Any more than a film of oil
may cause some to run into the bobbin case;
soaking and discoloring the bobbin thread.
When lovering machine into sewing position
grasp it with both hands ABOVE the bedplate.
Thusiy you will not be risking scraped or
bruised fingers should the machine slip and
drop too fast and hard.
