Guys/Gals
Just and update. Given some time last night I removed all red rollers from
each machine. It became obvious which rollers were heavily used, and which
were not. Also, by looking at the rollers that were not used much, it was easy
to tell how they lubercated it. It appears to me that they simply put a grease
nozzle into the black pincher arm and squirted a small blob of white grease.
To my thinking, this is obviously a bad technique as many of the rollers never
touched the grease. Also, I could tell on the heavily used rollers that the
grease was still intact, but that red-residue from friction was present.
I used a Q-Tip cut in 1/2 as the tool to clean these pincher arms. The fuzzy
side is good for the "hole", and the cut side fits right into the recess of the
black pincher arm. You can pretty easily clean out the grit. Once satisfied I
re-greased with lithium grease. However, I applied the greast to the
surfaces/points of the red-roller than touch or bare on the black pincher arm.
I then put drops of oil on the upper and lower portions of the needle bars, and
oiled the rotary hool. Then ran test sews on all 16 needles, both machines.
Now, I "know" what the lube status of the machines are and will better be able
to keep them up to date. Took about 2 hrs to clean/lube/sew. The machines ran
very smooth, but still have a few thread breaks/shreds. Not bad though :)
Thanks,
