If the distance between needle bar and presser
bar is more or less than 17/32 inch, first turn ma
chine pulley over toward you until needle bar is at
highest position. Remove cover plate from front of

lever completely down in order to have same stitch
length as in forward stitching position.
To reverse the feed with foot treadle, the foot
treadle chain should be connected to hole in reverse
feed lever shown in Fig. 26.
Release hand lever or foot treadle only when you
wish to resume forward stitching.
ADJUSTING FEED REVERSING MECHANISM

adjust crank shown in Fig. 26 so that

gainst the bearing block. Loosen set screws C and

the stitch length is the same
in reverse feed as in forword feed. Tighten all screws.
