Tightness of performance Cause: Drive belt being too long and slips off or too short, causing excessive pressure on the bearings. Shuttle race being dry or obstructed by odd thread. Mechanism is clogged up by inferior oil. The feeder jams the needle plate. The winder is engaged, braking the ape ration. Thread has wound up between balance wheel and bushing. Remedy: Shorten belt and/or insert a piece for lengthening. Cut the belt straight, not on the bias. Clean and oil shuttle race. Use only PFAFF sewing machine oil, never salad oil or glycerin. Unscrew both feeder and needle plate and readjust properly. Disengage winder. Remove and unwind thread with the aid of a thin needle. 38
