HOW TO ADJUST THE MACHINE WHEN INCORRECT STITCHES ARE FORNED. 7-1 Causes 1. The distance between one of the Main Cams to the inner surface of the Carriage Pipe differs from that of the other. The Ribber Carriage falls behind the Main Carriage, engaging the Knitter needles and Ribber needles with a time lag. The Knitter loops differ in size to the Ribber loops. The needles on both beds do not meet each other. 7-2 Correcting Methods. * Cause 1. a) Position both Set Levers to "0" and the Stitch Dial to "1" and insert the Course Standard Gauge into the Carriage between the Carriage Pipe and Main Cams. b) Loosen the + PW Pan Head Screw (3x6), indicated in Fig. 38 below, and turn the Stitch Dial so that the Main Cams move towards and touch the Course Standard Gauge. Once the Cams touch the Gauge, tighten the + Pan Head Screw (3x6). + PW Pan Head Screw (3x6) Stiteh Dial Dae* Cause 2. a) Thread a light coloured medium sized yarn into the Yarn Feeder. b) Set the Stitch Dial on both the Knitter and Ribber Carriages to 3. c) Push 30 needles on both the Knitter and Ribber to B position and Cast on. a) Prior to any adjustment, knit 40 - 50 rows, and check at what graduation the Joint Stopper is pointing to (see Fig. 39). e) Loosen two + SPW Pan Head Screws (3x8) securing the Joint Stopper and using a Common Screw Driver (-), turn the Joint Stopper Shaft one graduation and place a mark on the Scale, after fastening the above two screws. + SPW Pan Head Screw (3x8) ‘Joint Stopper Fig. 39 f£) Knit another 40 = 50 rows at knitting. g) Repeat procedures (e) and (f) until knitting has been done with the Joint Stopper pointing to all the graduations on the Scale. Determine the most adequately knitted fabric and adjust the Joint Stopper accordingly.“ATSuTPsOONe yenfpe pUE (3uSMUBTTY eTPEeN Ey ) 6T eBed oF zOs0H € esnm TiamSAoN WAG ae OOo 7 a wp soa 2. eae @©® 4 ‘a » |e) a je a ae eal oe a 0s = o1 | See i roa) USWA PATUL ae OO saoz 2 ao @® ® snoz — i 0S = On ag " ueuSAOH puODaS ae Oo saoz 2 _— @® Ww : snox — fi 0S = on¢ . 3uaUaAOW 4537a aw OO snoa 2 mo @©0 Ww . snox = 3 0S - OF o {1 * qwementpY exosom + Oo enox 2 OOD = thy - snoz 5 m i i a " 0S = On — H s == 7 OD | © 8 | Il Uy pezze3s| (1) voast | tera | sonst] aowy | aoaor | cow | coaer| soaer hag s2ddoag auyor| sorsooazq “ax | uoarag | ressng | xota | a5 | opts | tassna| ueo aun Jo uoTaTs0g ogopaaep zoqaTe avezare) z923TU z - astT - 34 -8. HOW TO USE PUNCH CARDS WHEN KNITTING WITH THE RIBBING ATTACHMENT Check the horizontal space. If the Ribber is attached to the Knitter at a greater distance than the standard measurement, the relative measurements come out incorrect and the Yarn Feeder will strike the Ribber needles. Check the vertical space between the Knitter and the Ribber. Check the powition of the Yarn Feeder.
