DESCRIPTION
Oil-removing wick assembly. Complete 147056, shown in Fig. 61 is designed to remove excess oil from the
head of the machine arm.
When filling the machine reservoir, use "TYPE A" or "TYPE C" OIL, sold by Singer Sewing Machine Company.
If inferior oil is used, absorption of the excess oil by this wick may be reduced considerably. The consequent
leakage of accumulated oil will then cause serious damage to materials being sewn. For further instructions on
oiling, see inside front cover of this book and pages 2, 6, 7 and 31.
Additional sets of the oil-removing wick, wick holder body and spring, as shown in Fig. 61, will be furnished
on order.
