Tech said it was normal...today, we're running fleece hats-have only done about 30 items since overhaul...and in the middle of one hat-that 'errr' suddenly became 'ERRRR ERRRR ERRRR' very metallic-I hit E stop, slowed it down from 1200 to 700 to try and finish the hat-started it up, and no noise at that speed. Window came up-rotary hook maintenance so Sue did that as soon as the hat was done. Ran a test, started it at 700 and brought it up to 1300 and no noise. I did check the bobbin area-and I can put my finger on the bobbin 'shaft' and get movement and slight 'clunkclunk'. Is there a bearing going in behind there-that oiling is keeping under control that should be replaced? hate to call Brian back up here if just more frequent hook oiling will take care of. Also, is there a way to reset the 'timer' for rotary hook maintenance so we have to do it more often? If that's the problem then it's the hot air heater drying it out. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
