5. Pneumatic connection
The sewing machine must have a supply of water-free compressed air
to operate its pneumatic components.
Attention!
For the pneumatic control processes to function properly the
compressed-air supply must be configured as follows:
Even when air consumption is at its peak the operating pressure must
not fall below 5 bar.
If pressure fall-off is excessive:
–increase compressor power
–increase diameter of compressed-air lines.
Connecting compressed-air maintenance unit
–Connect connection hose 1 (order no. 797 3031) to the
