FEED

REVERSE

LEVER

Before the machine leaves the factory, the spring tension

the feed reverse lever is set at an appropriate tension for easy and

comfortable sewing operation.

If it is necessary to adjust the feed reverselever spring tension,

tip machine back and loosen feed reverse lever spring retainer

screw Y3 holding the spring retainer Z3 on the machine leg.

Move

spring retainer Z3 up or down, as required, and firmly

tighten screw

Y3.

The lighter the tension, the easier it is to operate the feed

reverse lever, however

the

tension should be

set

alittle heavier for

maximum stitchlength and high speed sewing.

Normally, the 591D200A/C200A machines are adjusted to

sew a maximumstitch length

4.2mm (6 s.pi.)and 591D300A/

C300A machines to sew 5.1mm (5

s.pi.).

This however, can be

changed to 5.1 mm

desired, by turning over the feed regulat

ing dial stopper C4 on the underside

the feed reverselever, as

shown in Fig. 10.

Fig.

NOTE: The 591C200A machine can

not

sew a maximum stitch length

4.2mm when fitted with standard

fittings.

CAUTION:

Makesure the feed dogclearsthe front and rear edgesof the throat plate slots whenmaximumstitch

length is changed to 5.1mm.

TIME

THE

FEED

Before

the

machine leaves the factory,

the

feed

and

feed

lifting eccentric is set for average sewing conditions; having

the timing screw (screw Mwhich appears immediately after set

screw N, Fig. 11, when feed eccentric is rotated toward the

operator) align on the timing mark provided for it on the arm

shaft. (Timing line on shaft for drop feed is at

top

when

needle bar is in

DOWN

position, whereas timing mark for

compound feed is at top when needle bar is in Up position.)

The timing screw M, Fig. 11, on the feed and feed lifting

eccentric should be securely tightened after it has been aligned

on the timing mark on the arm shaft. The set screw N, should

also be securely tightened.

-6-

Fig. 11

From the library of: Superior Sewing Machine & Supply LLC

If for any reason, it is necessary to alter the timing of feed and feed lifting eccentric, the eccentric should be

adjusted and locked in desired setting with the timing screw Mand the set screw N.

NOTE: Whenever the timing

the feed is changed, sewing hook should be checked for necessary adjustment

also as instructed on page 5.

When the feed dog is at its highest position, approximately the

full depth of allthe teeth should project abovethe top surfaceof the

throat plate, as shown in Fig. 12.

Before checking the height

the feed dog, set the machine for

the longest stitch.

To adjust, loosen the clampingscrew P, Fig. 13 and raise or lower

the feed dog (which is fastened to the feed bar Q, Fig. 13) as re

quired. Then securely tighten screw P.

The feed dog should be level at the top

plate, it should be adjusted in the manner ex

plained above.
