plate,  the  feed  dog  height  is  correct;  if  the  valley is   not   level, b.  Loosen  the  feed  fork  screw  (figure  4-6 [E],   table   4-1,   foldout   at   the   end   of   this   chapter), push   the   feed   bar   (figure   4-6   [F])   up   or   down   as necessary  to  obtain  the  proper  feed  dog  height, and   tighten   the   screw.   This   completes   this   timing point. 3.   Centering   the   feeding   action To   properly   time   this   class   of   sewing machine,   you   must   center   the   feeding   action before   the   hook   is   timed. NOTE:   Ensure   the   needlebar   rock   frame hinge   stud   and   the   needlebar   rock   frame   guide bracket   are   tight   to   prevent   the   needle   from wandering   from   side   to   side   or   fore   and   aft. a.   Depress   the   plunger   (figure   4-1   [H]),   and turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the   operator   until the  plunger  drops;  keep  turning  the  balance  wheel until   it   stops.   This   sets   the   maximum   stitch   length at   3   1/2   SPI. b.   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the operator  and  observe  the  movement  of  the  feed dogs.   If   the   feed   dogs   operate   properly,   consider them   properly   centered   and   continue   to   step   2. If   the   feed   dogs   strike   the   front   or   the   back   of the   throat   plate,   proceed   as   follows: (1)  Loosen  the  feed-driving  crank  pinch screw  (figure  4-6  [G]),  and  push  the  feed  dog  away from  the  point  where  it  strikes;  then  retighten  the feed-driving   crank   pinch   screw. (2)   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the operator   until   the   needle   is   at   its   lowest   point   and observe   the   relationship   of   the   needle   and   the   hole in  the  throat  plate.  If  the  needle  is  near  the  front of   the   hole   but   not   touching   it,   proceed   to   step 4.   If   the   needle   needs   to   be   centered,   proceed   to step  3. (3)   If   the   needle   and   throat   hole   are   not properly   aligned,   loosen   the   needlebar   rock   frame rockshaft   connection   crank   pinch   screw   (figure 4-7   [A],   table   4-2,   foldout   at   the   end   of   this chapter)   and   align   the   needlebar   in   the   hole   of   the throat   plate;   then   retighten   the   screw. (4)   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the o p e r a t o r    a n d    o b s e r v e    t h e    o p e r a t i o n    o f    t he alternating   pressers.   If   the   front   foot   does   not strike   the   back   foot,   then   the   feeding   action   can be   considered   to   be   centered. 4.   Timing   the   hook   and   the   needlebar In   this   timing   sequence,   we   will   consider that   the   machine   has   no   timing   marks   on   the needlebar. a.   Remove   the   throat   plate,   the   feed   dog, and   the   presser   feet. b.   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the operator   until   the   needle   is   raised   three-sixteenths of  an  inch  from  its  lowest  point. If  the  point  of  the  hook  is  in  line  with  the center   of   the   needle,   one-sixteenth   of   an   inch above   the   eye   of   the   needle,   and   as   near   to   the needle   as   possible   without   touching   it,   then   the hook   and   needlebar   can   be   considered   to   be   in time.   If   not,   proceed   to   the   following   steps: (1)  Loosen  the  pinch  screw  (figure  4-7 [A])   and   move   the   needlebar   (figure   4-7   [B])   to obtain   the   proper   height,   as   shown   in   figure   4-7 (C);   then   retighten   the   needlebar   clamp   pinch screw. (2)   Tilt   the   sewing   machine   back; loosen   the   hook   saddle   pinch   screw   (figure   4-6 [A]),   the   hook   saddle   adjusting   screw   (figure   4-6 [B]),   and   the   hook   drive   gear   setscrews   and   spline screws   (figure   4-6   [C]   and   [D]). (3)  Move  the  hook  saddle  (figure  4-6 [U])   to   the   right   and   the   hook   drive   gear   to   the left   until   they   are   disengaged. (4)   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the operator   until   the   needle   is   raised   three-sixteenths of   an   inch   from   its   lowest   point. (5)   With   the   point   of   the   hook   in the   7   o’clock   position,   engage   the   hook   pinion gear  and  the  hook  drive  gear  to  align  the  hook point   with   the   needle.   As   you   engage   the   hook, it   will   rotate   clockwise,   advancing   toward   the needle   until   the   hook   point   is   centered   on   the needle.   The   hook   point   should   be   as   near   as possible   to   the   needle   without   touching   it.

(6)   Tighten   the   hook   saddle   pinch   screw and   the   hook   drive   gear   setscrews   and   spline screws. (7)   Turn   the   balance   wheel   toward   the operator   to   ensure   the   hook   does   not   strike   the needle. 4-6
