Changing the color change potentiometer
With power to the machine off, turn color change knob until machine is on needle
number one and the flag on the motor gear is sticking straight up. The flag will be
underneath the color change assembly cover and can best be viewed with a
flashlight aiming at approximately 45 degrees into the color change assembly at
about the height of the take-up levers from the right hand side of the machine.
Remove the old color change potentiometer by loosening the two outer
setscrews, the ones closest to the potentiometer, that hold the color change
potentiometer to the gear or knob, depending on whether you have a 9 or 12
needle machine, and slide the color change potentiometer out.

Turn the shaft sticking out of the potentiometer slowly until you get a reading of
19 on the potentiometer level on the display. The machine will also start beep
continuously when the number 19 is displayed.
Insert the new potentiometer into the knob or gear of the color change assembly
being careful not to turn the shaft while doing it. After you get the potentiometer
in place, the machine should still be beeping and 19 displayed on the panel. If
not, then turn shaft of potentiometer until it comes back.

do first. Then, turn the color change knob to get to the other one.
Press the key and turn the power off to the machine.
Power back on the machine and check the color changing. It should be fine and
the machine ready to run.
