strongly recommended
to
install o dehumidifier which will keep the
degree
of
moisture constant, irrespective
of
the season.
Mo
isture, particularly
when
it
rises from the floor,
has
a highly detrimental effect
on
the machines
and
cabi-
nets
stored.
When
machines
are
stored in moist locations, even the
film
of
rust preventative fluid which has
been
applied
to
the machines
at
the factory
cannot
prevent the occurrence
of
a slight
trace
of
rust.
If
cabinets with
mounted
machines
are
to
be
stored in their cartons,
make
sure
that
the packing
has
not
absorbed
any
moisture in transit.
If
it has, unpack the machine
at
once
and
store
it separately. Sewing
heads
ore
best
stored
on shelves,
and
cabinets,
whether
packed
or
unpacked, on a loth grid.
Checking Cabinets
and
Stand's
Before mounting the sewing
head,
check
and
oil
the
cabinet
or
treadle
stand
selected
for the machine
in
question. To
do
this,
place
it
on
a level surface
and
check
whether
the
door
and
all drawers
open
easily.
If
not,
apply
a little
pa-
raffin
wax
to
all frictional surfaces. Next, if the machine
in
question
is
foot-
driven, oil the following
ports
of
the
treadle
mechonism:
l.
Treadle wheel
bearing
2.
Pitman
bearing
3. Treadle
bearing
Check
to
see
that
the
treadle
has no excessive
play
between the centers.
If
ad-
justment
is
required,
take
a wrench, loosen the set screw
of
one
of
the
centers,
and
push the center
against
the
treadle
as
far
as
it will go, without rotating
it.
Securely tighten the set screw which
engages
the flat spot
on
the center. After
the adjustment, check
to
make
sure the
treadle
moves easily.
AHaching the Bedplate Extension
(German-made
cabinets only)
Stand
the
machine upright
so
that
it rests
on
its
needle-bar
end
(p
lace
a felt
pad

the face cover),
and
turn
the
bedplate
toward
you.
Hold the

extension so
that
its connecting clip faces downward,
and
slip it
onto
the balance-wheel
end
of
the
bedplate,
insert screw
and
washer,
bring
the
extension
in
line with the bedplote,
and
screw it down. Minor cor-
rections
