CLEANING AND OILING THE SHUTTLE

(See Figs. 36 and 37)

The stitch forming mechanism occasionally becomes clogged with loose threads and lint. This will

interfere with the efficient operation of the machine. Cleaning and removal of the lint will safeguard the

performance. To remove the shuttle assembly, proceed as follows.

1. Turn the balance wheel until the needle reaches its highest position. Tilt head back on its hinges.

2. Remove bobbin case (A), Fig. 37.

3. Turn the two shuttle race cover clamps (B) outward and remove the shuttle race cover (C) and

shuttle body (D).
