SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON OILING FOR MODEL 206RB-'
For simplified lubrication the upper arm of the machine is fitted with a cen-
tralized lubricating system. Same is located beneath the arm top cover plate.
Swing open this plate (Fig. I) and a felt-fIlled reservoir "R" will become visible.
Before operating a new machine or one which has been standing idle for a
prolonged period of time, soak these felt pads with oil until it will be noticed
that they have become fully saturated and do not accept any additional quan-
tities. After that the only attention required is a shot of oil into the holes in
the arm top cover, whenever the machine is oiled as part of the daily routine.
An oil reservoir for lubrication the rotary sewing hook is provided at the
underside of the machine bed. (Fig. II) Unscrew the fIller plug and fill the
reservoir with oil until it reaches the red "Full" line. Replace the fIller plug
and tighten it. The flow of oil to the hook can be regulated by means of the
control valve "V". To increase oil flow, loosen the lock nut and turn screw
counter-clockwise two or three turns. To reduce oil flow, loosen lock nut and
tighten screw clockwise completely and back it off about 3 turns. To stop oil
flow, if so required, just tighten screw. Be sure to tighten lock nut without
changing setting of screw.
