INSTALLATION
These processes are normally completely by a trained technician and should be completed before
you purchase your machine. In some unique cases, you may have purchased your machine
“unassembled” and you will need to follow these steps to prepare your machine for sewing.
1. With two people, lift your Titan TN-1341 onto the tabletop and align the machine into its
correct position.
2. Fix the machine in place using the (4) countersunk bolt (Fig 1, Item 1), washers (Item 2) and
nuts (Item 3).
3. Securely tighten these bolts and nuts before operating the machine.

INSTALLATION (Con’t)
The Titan TN-1341 comes with a knee lifter unit that allows the operator to lift the presser foot with
a knee controller. This is a standard feature but can be changed to a pneumatic lifter as an option
(See option page). To mount the knee lifter, follow the instructions below.
1. Attach knee lifter plate rod (Fig 2, Item 5) and knee press plate cover (Fig 2, Item 6) to knee
lifter plate rod bracket (Fig 2, Item 4)
2. Align the direction of the pad with setscrews (Fig 2, Item 7, 8 and 9) to the operator’s
comfort.
3. Be sure to note thee travel of the knee lifter can be large and may require an additional
person to find a perfect comfort for the operator.

BELT AND BELT COVER
The TN-1341 is typically equipped with a 750W servo motor and while there are options for this on
the Options page (needle positioner, speed reducer, etc.), the basic set up for the TN-1341 will be
as follows:
1. Adjust the belt tension with the height of the motor so that the belt sags 15 mm when the
center of V belt is applied with a 9.8 N load.
2. Please note, that if the motor belt is too tight, the machine may labour thru stitching and
cause the motor to have errors. If the belt is too loose, you will have slipage as you sew
and this can also cause motor errors, especially if you have the needle positioning encoder
attached to the machine.

BELT AND BELT COVER (con’t)

1. Attach belt cover stud (Fig 4, Item 7)
to the screw hole in the arm.
2. Fix belt cover (right) (Fig 4, Item 1)
on the arm with screws 2 and 8.
3. Fit belt cover (left) (Fig 4, Item 3) to
notch A and B of the belt cover
(right).
4. Fix belt cover (left) (Fig 4, Item 3)
with screws 4, 5 and 6.
5. Fix belt cover, lower, (asm.) (Fig 4,
Item 10) on the machine bed with
setscrews 11 and 12.

THREAD STAND
The thread stand is often very simple to assemble but there are a few common issues to pay
attention to.
1. Assemble the thread stand as shown in figure 5.
2. Pay close attention to ensure all screws and nuts
are tightened firmly.
3. Once the thread stand is assembled, it is
important to note that the upper arm of the thread
guide (Fig 5, Item A) is aligned directly above the lower
arm (Fig 5, Item B). failure to align these may cause
tension issues, thread breakages and / or other
machine issues due to poor threading.
4. To install the thread stand into the table,
separate the washers on the base of the stand so that
there is one washer on the top and one on the bottom
of the table. Then install the lock washer and nut on
the base of the stand and tighten until the thread stand
no longer floats loose and freely.

LUBRICATION
It is important to remember that Titan Sewing Machines are produced using some of the highest
quality components and assembled and tested thoroughly to ensure the machines can handle
factory operation day in and day out from multiple operators and shifts. Noting that, you may
choose to alter your lubrication requirements based on the amount of use you are putting your
machine through. If you do not use your machine for an extended amount of time, you should
consider oiling your machine before you put it away and after, when you first take it out to ensure
the machine is properly lubricated before use. The TN-1341 has (3) major components to its
lubrication portion of the machine. They are: The face plate head unit, the upper body and the
shuttle arm area.
LUBRICATING THE FACE PLATE HEAD UNIT
1. Loosen and remove screw A.
2. Open the face plate in the direction
of arrow mark B.
3. Apply an adequate amount of oil
once a day to the points marked with
the arrow marks.
NOTE: you may notice certain areas of
your machine may have grease on
components. If there is grease on any
of the areas that should be oiled or
lubricated, please do NOT oil this. If
you place oil on to a greased area, this
will cause the oil to break down the
grease and it will liquify and could
cause this to drip onto your project
area.
4. Close the face plate.
5. Tighten and attach screw A.
