1． MAKE SURE THE CARRIAGE IS AT THE LEFT END BEFORE SWITCHING ON THE MACHINE.
2． TURN OFF THE MACHINE POWER DURING MACHINE REPAIRING OR LONG-TERM
STOPPING OF THE MACHINE.
3． MACHINE SYSTEM SWITCH IS AT THE FRONT LEFT STAND OF THE MACHINE. TURN
CLOCKWISE FOR “ON”.
4． IT IS ADVISABLE TO KEEP 30 SECONDS TIME LAP BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE
AGAIN AFTER TURNING OFF THE MACHINE TO PREVENT DAMAGING THE P.C. BOARDS.

NOTE：
1. MAKE SURE THE SWITCH BAR IS ALWAYS AT THE NEUTRAL POSITION.
2. CARRIAGE SHOULD ALWAYS BE AT LEFT SIDE WHEN USING “WTE” OR “ORI” KEYS.
3. TAKE-DOWN MOTOR SHOULD ALWAYS BE AT REST POSITION WHEN THE MACHINE IS STOPPED .
THIS IS TO PREVENT THE TAKE-DOWN ROLLER FROM CONSTANT ROTATING.TO RESTART THE
MACHINE, TURN THE SWITCH BAR TO STOP POSITION FIRST TO INITIATE THE TAKE-DOWN MOTOR
BEFORE TURNING TO “RUN” POSITION.
WARNING：
BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE, THE SWITCH BAR SHOULD BE TURNED TO THE “STOP”
POSITION IN ORDER TO INITIATE THE TAKE-DOWN MOTOR FOR SUFFICIENT TAKE-DOWN FORCE
TO ENTER EITHER “JOG” OR “RUN”CONDITION. THIS IS TO PREVENT INSUFFICIENT
TAKE-DOWN FORCE FROM CAUSING UPRAISING OF THE FABRIC WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE DAMAGING
OF NEEDLES.

THERE ARE 6 YARN FEEDERS (1-6) IN THIS
MACHINE.AS PER DRAWING, ALL FEEDERS
ARE TO BE ADJUSTED TO HAVE THE 0.5MM
CLEARANCE WITH THE NEEDLES. TOO LOW
THE POSITION WILL RESULT IN BENDING
THE LATCH OF THE NEEDLES.
AS PER DRAWING, MOUNT THE BRUSH
PARALLELTO THE CARRIAGE.
BAD ADJUSTMENT WILL LEAD TO DROP
STITCH.
ENCODER READS THE POSITION OF THE
CARRIAGE. OPTIMUM ORIGIN SETTING IS
REQUIRED TO ASSURE THE CORRECT
OPERATION FOR EACH MOVEMENT.

CORRECTLY FOR SAFETY OPERATION.
REAR CARRIAGE
CARRIAGE
STOPPER
RAIL
AS PER DRAWING, TIP OF THE DETECTOR
SHOULD BE SET BETWEEN THE FRONT & REAR
NEEDLE BEDS. TOO HIGH THE POSITION
WILL CONTACT WITH THE YARN FEEDER AND
TOO LOW THE POSITION WILL CONTACT
WITH THE REST YARN. BOTH SITUATION
RESULTS IN FREQUENT STOPPAGE OF THE
MACHINE.

4.4.7 BEARING ADJUSTMENT
THE CARRIAGES HAD BEED ADJUSTED THE LEVER BEFORE DELIVERY FROM FACTORY, USUALLY THERE
IS NO NEED TO ADJUST AGAIN BY USER.
HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE BEARING：
SLIGHTLY LOOSEN THE 2 M6 SCREW AND NUTS. THEN, TURN THE ECCENTRIC PIN WITH A
SCREWDRIVER UNTIL THE BEARING SLIGHTLY CONTACTS WITH THE RAIL. AFTER THIS,
FASTEN THE NUTS & SCREWS.
VERTICAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE BEARING：
SLIGHTLY LOOSEN THE 2 M6 SCREW UNTIL THE BEARING SLIGHTLY CONTACTS WITH THE RAIL.
AFTER THIS, FASTEN THE M6 SCREWS.

NOTE：
1. NEEDLE BED RETURNS TO ITS ORIGIN POSITION AFTER EACH ONE PIECE KNITTING.
2. AFTER ORIGIN RESET, THE SYSTEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY DETECT
TO RESET THE NEEDLE BED TO ITS ORIGIN POSITION.
3. AFTER RACKING MANUALLY, IT IS A MUST TO DO RACKING RESET.
（FOR 2P OR MORE RACKING, PLEASE TAKE CAUTION THAT THE NEEDLES MAY BEND.）
1. AT ORIGIN POSITION, FRONT BED SHOULD BE
LEFT 1/2 PITCH TO REAR NEEDLE BED.
2. HERE, AFTER LOOSENING THE FIXED SCREW,
MOVE THE RACKING ORIGIN SENSOR TO THE
CORRESPONDENT POSITION OF THE SENSING
PLATE. WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF, CONFIRM
WHETHER THE FRONT NEEDLE BED IS LEFT 1/2
PITCH TO THE REAR NEEDLE BED.
