Being careful to not scratch the surface, place
the tabletop face down on the oor. Line up
the k-legs squarely 1-1/2" from the back of the
tabletop and 1" in from the side closest to the
cutout (Figure 5). Be sure the k-legs are facing
the proper direction. For reference, the ruler is
on the front of the tabletop.
Using a pencil, trace around the perimeter
of each slot in the k-legs (Figure 6). With
the legs removed, use a 5/32" drill bit to drill
approximately 1/2" into the tabletop within each
pencil outline. Do not drill completely through
the tabletop.

Realign the k-legs on the tabletop with the
pencil marks. Use the hex head lag screws (J),
locking washers (L) and washers (M) (Figure 7)
to bolt the frame to the tabletop at each position
(Figure 8).

Installing the Drawer
Position the drawer as desired on the underside
of the tabletop (Figure 9) so the drawer will
pull out towards the front (Figure 10). Place
the drawer rails over the edges of the drawer.
Secure the rails using 6 of the included screws
(K) (Figure 7).
Tip: Do not over tighten the screws or they will
prevent the drawer from sliding freely.
Installing Rubber Foot Pads
Stretch the rubber foot pads onto each of the
k-leg's rectangular metal feet (Figure 11).

Adjusting the Height
Flip the table upright.
Sit in front of the table and assess the table
height. If adjustments are needed, loosen the
four bolts toward the top of each leg (Figure 12).
Raise or lower the tabletop to the desired
position then tighten the bolts. Be sure to adjust
the height before installing the sewing machine
in the tabletop.

Oil Tray Installation
Locate the two hinge cushions (A), two chrome
hinges (B), two wood screws (C), and four nails
(D) (Figure 13).
With the table upright, place the two hinge
cushions (A) in the back cutouts (Figure 14).
Secure by driving a wood screw (C) directly
through the center of the cushion. Using a
power drill makes the process easier.
Position the oil tray so its top edge is just below
the bottom of the hinge cushions and the right
edge of the tray does not encroach on the belt
slot cutout (E) (Figure 15). Use the 4 nails (D),
to secure the tray.
Note: Positioning the oil tray too far to the right
can cause the timing belt to rub against it
causing unnecessary wear on the belt.

Mounting the Thread Stand
Find the threaded insert and its corresponding
Allen wrench. Locate the pre-drilled hole (F) in
the tabletop just to the right of the belt slot
cutout. Use the Allen wrench to carefully screw
the threaded insert into the hole (Figure 16).
Note: Running a bar of soap along the threads
of the insert will help prevent the melamine
surface of the table top from cracking as the
insert is screwed in.
Sailrite's Integrated Thread Stand (not included)
can now be installed via the threaded insert
(Figure 17). If another thread stand is being
used, it can be placed on or screwed into the
table near this same location.
If you have the Ultrafeed Industrial Sewing Table
only (#120934), you won’t need to install the
foot treadle. The parts should be saved in case
a Workhorse Motor is added in the future.
If you purchased the Ultrafeed Industrial
Sewing Table & Workhorse Servo Motor
(#120931 or #121091), skip to page 10 to
complete the setup.

The Ultrafeed Industrial Sewing Table &
Workhorse Servo Motor #120931 & #121091
This package transforms the portable Ultrafeed Sewing Machine into a stationary, industrial machine!
The Workhorse Servo Motor provides top notch power at the slowest speeds so you can sew stitch-
by-stitch in even heavy assemblies.
With this larger motor setup, we recommend oiling the machine more frequently than with the portable
motor. A good rule of thumb is to oil after 40 hours of continual use or if the machine has been sitting
for more than 30 days without running. Oiling locations can be found in the Ultrafeed Guidebook.

Installing Foot Treadle
Locate the foot treadle and its accompanying
large bolts, small bolts and washers.
The foot treadle is typically installed to the right
side of the treadle mount bar, but it can be set to
the user’s preference anywhere on the bar.
Determine the desired location of the treadle
and ip the table onto its back side (Figure 20).
Locate the two end pivots (D). Very loosely bolt
the end pivots to the treadle mount bar in the
desired location. Then install the foot treadle by
placing the pins on the end pivots into the holes
on the side of the treadle (Figure 21). The side
of the treadle with the bolt holes for the
L-bracket (page 12, E) should be facing towards
the back of the table.
Once the treadle is in place, tighten the bolts.
Test the treadle to be sure it moves freely once
the bolts are tightened.

Ultrafeed Industrial Table Set-Up Guide | 12
Install the L-bracket (E) on the back of the
treadle starting with the hole farthest to the right
on the treadle. Hand tighten the bolts. Then
slide the L-bracket over so that the curved end
is directly over the second hole from the left on
the treadle. Tighten the bolts (Figure 22 & 23).

Check Motor Rotation
The machine’s motor shaft should rotate
counterclockwise when viewed from the motor
shaft end. Plug in the motor, switch the power
on and press down on the foot treadle to conrm
operation.
If motor rotation is not counterclockwise
(Figure 24), please refer to “Changing Motor
Rotation” in the Workhorse Installation
Instructions.
Due to the immense amount of power and
speed the Workhorse provides, do not set
the top sewing speed above 25. The motor
will arrive pre-set at 30. Be sure to turn the
speed down to 25 prior to sewing. For more
information, reference “Operation” in the
Workhorse Servo Motor Instructions.

Removing Ultrafeed Motor Housing
To utilize the Workhorse Servo Motor, the
portable Ultrafeed motor (D) and motor housing
(E) must be removed (Figure 27).
To begin, remove the Posi-Pin, Posi-Pin nut and
the balance wheel from the Ultrafeed. Remove
the bottom screw in the black belt cover (F)
(Figure 28). Then unscrew the two screws
holding the motor housing to the machine (G)
(Figure 27). Keep one of these screws near as
it will be used in a future step.
Tilt the motor housing and use a screwdriver to
push the belt off the motor pulley (H). Then
remove the motor and housing. Place all of
these components in a safe location so you can
make your machine portable again. Replace the
balance wheel, Posi-Pin and Posi-Pin nut.

Ultrafeed Industrial Table Set-Up Guide | 16
Belt Adjustment for the
Workhorse Servo Motor
Before installing the drive belt, loosen the
adjustment screw (A) at the top of the motor
bracket to allow the Workhorse Servo Motor to
freely pivot (Figure 29). This will prevent the
belt from being stretched out of shape before
proper adjustments are made.
With the machine tilted back, slip the drive belt
onto the balance wheel track and guide it onto
the motor pulley. Carefully lower the machine
into the cutout (Figure 30). Lightly push the
motor back until the belt is taut. Tighten the
adjustment screw (A), locking the motor
position.
Once installed, the belt should not touch the
table and should be relatively centered on the
track of both the balance wheel and motor
pulley. If adjustments need to be made, loosen
the nuts where the motor bracket is attached to
the table and slide to the left or right. Test new
motor positions by rotating the balance wheel
on the machine a few times by hand. When the
correct position is found, tighten the nuts.
Remove the belt so the pulley bracket can be
installed in a later step.

Installing the Linkage Bar
Locate the linkage bar (B) and release the
center nut to expand the two halves.
Using the attached nuts and washers on the
linkage bar, bolt one end of the linkage bar to
the outer most hole of the motor operation
lever (C) on the Workhorse Servo Motor. Attach
the opposite end of the linkage bar to the
L-bracket (D) on the foot treadle. Push the two
arms into the center bracket and nger tighten
the bolt (E). Be sure the treadle is angled all the
way up and tighten the center bolt (Figure 31).
Note: Ensure the motor operation lever (C) is in
the upmost position. If it is not, the motor will not
work when turned on.
