This Engineer’s Manual is written for the technical personnel who are responsible for the service and maintenance
of the sewing machine. This manual describes “Adjustment Procedure”, “Results of Improper Adjustment”, and
other functions which are not covered by the Instruction Book intended for the maintenance personnel and
sewing operators at a sewing factory.
All personnel engaged in repair of LZ-2290A Series • IP-100 / SC-915 are required to carefully read Section 2
“Standard Adjustment” which contains important information on the maintenance of LZ-2290A Series • IP-100
/ SC-915.
The “Standard Adjustment” consists of two parts ; the former part presents illustration and simplified explanation
for the convenience of reconfirmation of the required adjustment values in carrying out actual adjustment after
reading this manual once; and the latter part provides “Results of Improper Adjustment” in which sewing and/or
mechanical failures, and the correcting procedures are explained for those persons who perform such adjustment
for the first time.
It is advisable to use “LZ-2290A Series • IP-100 / SC-915 Parts Book” together with this Engineer’s Manual.

(4) Cautions in operation
1) Be sure to drain oil in the oil tank and attach the air vent cap (red rubber cap) supplied with the machine to the air
vent (golden bushing) located on the side face of the machine bed when transporting the sewing machine.
2) In the case where placing ASS or ASU type machine on a stand or the like before setting the machine to the machine
table, to protect the oil tank from damage, take car if there is any protruding object under the stand or the like.
3) Be sure to securely set the connector of the safety switch to the control box to prevent accidents at the time of maintenance.
4) Oil is kept in the gear box for lubrication. It is not necessary to replace the oil. Do not remove the gear box cover
except when it is necessary.
* When the box cover has been removed, it is necessary to replace the packing.
5) Be sure to operate the sewing machine with the bobbin case removed when making the sewing machine run idle.
If the bobbin thread is in the bobbin case, the thread protrudes from the bobbin case and is entangled in the hook
race or the hook shaft. As a result, the trouble will be caused.

to adjust the feed dog with the feed rocker shaft pressed
in the direction A (a).
2. Check to be sure that the feed dog is leveled with the
feed amount currently used when the top surface of
the ascending feed dog is flush with the top surface of
the throat plate.
3. For the adjustment of slippage of materials for ASU and
ADU, refer to (5) Adjusting the slippage of materials and
adjusting the feed timing.
™Perform the adjustment of the
inclination of the feed dog according
to the sewing process.
(Example)
™When the feed force is required in
such a process of tape attaching or
the like :
Adjust so that this side of the feed
dog is raised.
™When using the slippery material in
such a process of attaching a facing
of girdle :
Adjust so that the feed dog should
be leveled.
A. Adjusting procedure by removing the gear box cover (ASS,ADS)
1) Remove the gear box cover. (Refer to the item 4-(1).)
2) Adjust the marker line engraved on the thread take-up to the timing
mark I engraved on the face plate.
3) Set the feed amount to 2.5 mm. However, the feed amount has to be set to
“0” mm only for LZ-2290SU and LZ-2290DU.
4) In the aforementioned state, loosen the setscrew in the hook driving shaft
sprocket and adjust the timing mark engraved on the feed rocker cam to
the timing mark engraved on the feed rocker rod.
(Caution)
In this case, the hook timing (thread trimming timing for the
machine equipped with a thread trimmer) changes. Be sure to perform
re-adjustment.)
B. Adjusting procedure with the gear box cover attached (For fine
adjustment) (ASS,ADS)
1) Set the feed amount to "0" mm.
2) Adjust the marker line engraved on the thread take-up to marker line
J engraved on the face plate.
3) In the aforementioned state, loosen the setscrew in the hook driving shaft
sprocket. Now, turn the hook driving shaft to adjust so that the feed dog
comes down. Adjust so that the top surface of the feed dog is aligned with
the top surface of the throat plate when the feed dog comes down.
*
There is a slight inclination at the feed dog. Adjust the feed dog so that “0”
to 6 teeth come out from the top surface of the throat plate.
(Caution)
After the aforementioned adjustment, “hook timing” and
further “thread trimming cam timing” for the machine equipped with a
thread trimmer will change. Be sure to re-adjust them properly.

Adjustment Procedures
Results of Improper Adjustment
[Feed “0” adjustment]
1) Set the stitch length dial at “0”.
2) Loosen screw 1, and align the timing mark on the feed crank stud
with that on the feed crank stud support.
(The position of the timing mark differs with models.)Insert a sheet of
paper between the throat plate and the presser foot, turn the
handwheel by hand and check that the needle entry points are the
same. If the points are not the same, perform again fine adjustment.
(Fine adjustment is necessary since the marks are standard.)
3) When loosening screw 1, confirm that there is no axial play at the
feed converting arm A (asm.) and tighten screw 1.
[Normal feed adjustment]
4) Set the stitch length dial at the maximum value of the gauge to be
used.
* Normal feed is regulated to 2 mm at the time of delivery.
5) Loosen screw 2, make the feed adjusting link come in contact with
the screw and tighten screw 2.
[Reverse feed adjustment]
6) Loosen screw 3, pushing the feed lever down to make the sewing
machine enter the reverse feed stitching mode, press reverse feed
amount regulation metal fitting against the projecting section of the
reverse feed adjusting link B. Now, tighten screw 3. (Set the
condensation stitch length adjusting dial to the maximum value on
the scale.)
* Reverse feed is regulated to 2 mm at the time of delivery.
7) To decrease the reverse feed stitching length for fastening stitching,
use the condensation stitching function. (Refer to “Adjusting the
condensation stitching mechanism” in the Instruction Manual for the
LZ-2290A Series.)
8) When the ratio of sewing length (as many as 10 stitches) of normal
and reverse feed is approximately 90% in case of straight stitch feed
amount of 2 mm, the adjustment is OK.
™If the timing marks are not aligned
with each other, the actual feed
amount will be different from the
feed amount specified on the stitch
length dial.
™If the timing marks greatly separate
from each other, the normal or
reverse feed amount will be
increased causing the feed dog to
come in contact with thread
trimming counter knife. (In case of
thread trimming)
™The feed dog will come in contact
with the throat plate.
1) Adjust the stitch length dial to the maximum feed amount the feed
dog to be used.
*
Feed amount of both normal feed and reverse feed is regulated to 2
mm at the time of delivery from the factory.
The maximum feed amount of the feed dog at the time of delivery is 2
mm. (Feed dog part No. : 22581508)
2) Turn the handwheel, and fix the feed dog so that the clearances in
front and rear are the same at the position where the feed dog does
not come in contact with the throat plate. (A = B)
3) In the case where the gear box (large) cover is not opened, loosen
setscrews 1 in the feed bar crank to adjust the position.
4) In the case where the gear box (large) cover is opened, loosen
setscrew 2 in the feed rocker shaft crank to adjust the position.

Adjustment Procedures
Results of Improper Adjustment
1) To adjust the height and inclination of the feed dog, loosen setscrews
1 in the vertical feed link shaft and turn vertical feed link shafts 2
and 3 with a screwdriver.
2) The standard inclination is the position where the engraved marker
dots of vertical feed link shafts 2 and 3 face in the direction of 9
o’clock (left side).
3) The standard height of the feed dog is 1.4 mm from the top surface of
the throat plate.
◎
This machine can adjust “Amount of slippage of materials” by
adjusting the height and inclination of the feed dog.
4) Mainly adjust vertical feed link shaft 3.
The amount of slippage of materials can be adjusted by the position
of the engraved marker dot which means the size of each theta θ of
the inclination of the feed dog.
* Points of adjustment.
1. Quality of finished products is improved when the slippage of materials
is slightly adjusted to the minus state. (Operator’s hand pressure
should be considered in actual sewing.)
2. When performing the adjustment, simultaneously adjusting vertival
feed link shafts 2 and 3 makes it difficult to see the characteristic of
the slippage of the material. So, set 2 to the standard state (reference)
and mainly adjust 3.
3. In the case where the slippage of material (0 to minus) cannot be
obtained by adjusting vertical feed link shaft 3 only, adjust vertical
feed link shaft 2 so that theta θ , inclination of the feed dog is
increased.
1) Adjust the engraved marker line on the thread take-up to timing mark
G on the face plate.
2) Set the feed amount to 2.5 mm. However, for LZ-2290SU and LZ-

2. When using the hook adjusting mode for the machine to which presser foot, gauge, etc. are attached, be very
careful in performing the adjustment.
2. Adjusting the hook position
™Adjust the height of the needle bar with engraved marker dot 1 of timing gauge E. At this time, the needle bar is in
its lowest position.
1) After adjusting the height of the needle bar, set the needle to the position of zigzag width "0" and adjust the hook
so that the blade point of the hook is brought to the center of the needle at the height of engraved marker dot 2 of
timing gauge E.
2) At this time, adjust so that the blade point of the hook slightly comes in contact with the needle when the needle guard does
not come is contact with the needle. Then tighten the screw in the hook.
3. Confirmation
1) Confirm that the distance from the top end of needle eyelet to the blade point of the hook is 0.2 to 0.5 mm in case of the
leftmost needle throwing position at the time of max. zigzag width.
2) When zigzag width 10 mm is used or the indented part of the needle is different in shape, re-adjust the height of the needle bar.
4. Adjusting the needle guard
1) Maximize the zigzag width (see the table below). Adjust by bending the needle guard so that the needle does not come in
contact with the blade point of the hook at both the rightmost and left most needle throwing positions. At this time, adjust so that
a clearance of 0 to 0.05 mm is provided between the needle and the blade point of the hook.
2) The needle guard is used so that the blade point of the hook does not come in contact with the needle to prevent the blade
point from damage. When you desire to replace the hook, be sure to adjust the position of the needle guard.

1) Hook shaft oil wick 2 is a consumable part.
To stabilize the oil amount in the hook, it is recommended to periodically replace it.
Hook shaft oil wick 2 is mounted on the top end of hook shaft 4.
Remove the needle and the parts around the needle (presser foot,
needle, throat plate, feed dog, hook and woodruff plate), put a spanner,
top end of which is L-shaped to screw 3 section of hook shaft oil wick,
turn the handwheel in the normal direction of rotation by hand, and
draw out the screw. It is possible to replace hook shaft oil wick 2 while
hook shaft 4 is not removed. If hook shaft 4 is drawn out, refer to 5-
(9) Protruding amount of the hook shaft.
2) Hook shaft oil wick screw 3 (B1808552000) in which hook shaft oil wick
2 (11015906) is entered is assembled in hook shaft 4. Draw out the old
hook shaft oil wick 2 in hook shaft oil wick screw 3 and push a new hook
shaft oil wick 2. At this time, be sure to check that hook shaft oil wick 2
has entered up to the end of hook shaft oil wick screw 3.
™ When re-assembling, check that the hole at the top end of hook shaft oil
wick screw 3 is not broken.
3) Assemble hook shaft oil wick screw 3 to the top end of hook shaft 4.
™ When oil wick is stained, decrease
of oil amount in the hook or
unstableness of oil amount will
result.
™When hook shaft oil wick 2 is not
entered up to the end of hook shaft
oil wick screw 3, hook shaft oil wick
screw 3 comes off during operation
and the oil amount in the hook
cannot be adjusted.
Besides, hook shaft oiling inlet is
closed and oil amount in the hook
is hard to be obtained.
™When the hole is broken, replace
the screw with a new one.
Oil amount in the hook becomes
unstable.

1) Loosen nut 3 in the knife driving arm 7 , and adjust the initial
position of the moving knife.
Loosen/tighten nut 3 after roller 4 has fitted in the groove on
the thread trimming cam 8 by pressing roller arm 6 with
fingers. This will prevent knife driving arm 7 from moving out
of position thereby allowing you to perform the adjustment in
safety.
2) After adjusting the initial position of the moving knife, turn the
handwheel in the state that roller 4 has fitted in the groove on
the thread trimming cam 8, and check that the latch has
securely entered when the moving knife moves forward or
backward until it will go no further. (You can hear “click” when
the latch has entered.)
(Caution) When a feed dog other than that which is delivered
as standard is used, there is a case where the feed dog
interferes with counter knife according to its shape. In case
of interference, move the feed dog to the left side from the
engraved dot and check that there is no interference with
each other.
™If the initial position of the moving
knife is not properly adjusted, the
moving knife will fail to cut the
thread or cut the thread at a
wrong position reducing the
length of remaining thread after
thread trimming.
™If the timing of the thread
trimming cam is excessively
advanced, the knife will fail to cut
the thread or the length of the
thread remaining after thread
trimming will be decreased
resulting in slip-off of the thread.
™If the timing of the thread
trimming cam is excessively
retarded, the knife will fail to cut
the thread or the moving knife
will fail to fully return to the home
position making the moving knife
projects at the start of sewing.
If the timing of the thread trimming cam is not correct, adjust it in
the following steps of procedure.
1) Loosen two screws 5 in the cam.
2) Turn the main shaft handwheel until the red marker dot
engraved on the handwheel is aligned with the marker dot
engraved on the machine arm.
3) Push roller arm 6 until roller 4 fits in the groove in thread
trimming cam 8. Lightly push thread trimming cam 8 on the
handwheel side and turn it in the reverse direction until it will
go no further. Now, tighten two screws 5 in the cam.

(Caution) 1. When replacing knife !6 (ceramic), be careful of the injury
to the fingers.
2. When replacing knife !6 (ceramic), be careful of its
direction and position. (It should be almost parallel to
knife fixing plate !3.)
3) When using the bird’s nest prevention type as the needle thread clamp type
When using as the needle thread clamp type, perform the setting below.
[Example of use] • When using as the interlacing failure prevention at
the time of sewing from the cloth end.
• When using the normal presser. (presser without knife)
1. Set the value of function setting No.19 to 1. (Standard “0”)
2. Input the setting of number of stitches of releasing needle thread with
function setting No. 28. (“0” to 30 stitches)
(Caution)Needle thread clamp ratio when needle does not enter the
cloth excessively drops in comparison with that when needle enters
the cloth. Be sure to operate the wiper on the cloth.
4) When using the bird’s nest prevention type as the wiper type
1. Set the value of function setting No. 18 to “0”. (Standard 1)
™ Wiper 3 comes close most to the
needle when the needle throws to
the right.
There is a case where the wiper
interferes with the needle according
to the position of the wiper. In this
case, re-adjust the position.
™Adjust so that they slightly come in
contact with each other.
™When the protruding section faces
the direction other than the upward
one, needle thread clamp failure
occurs.
™Rate of needle clamp is affected by
the adjustment of the wiper waiting
position.

(3) Matters that demand special attention regarding the operation panel, IP-100
1) Kind of IP-100
For the operation panel, IP-100, there are several kinds of types in accordance with the specifications.
The type which can be used for LZ-2290A is TYPE-A only.
The product of TYPE A0A or TYPE A0B which is indicated on the type name plate seal in the rear of the
panel case can be used.
Both are compatible in the state of the complete set of the panel. However, when replacing the printed circuit
board only, use the printed circuit board after function Rev03 and pattern Rev F/R2 since there are the
change of the structure components.
In addition, it is necessary to change and set jumper wire W1 (located on the side of RVR1 variable resistor)
of the printed circuit board according to the type.
Set W1 by changing the jumper post.
(Caution) When setting is wrong, LCD screen display is not properly performed.
2) Matters that demand special attention when disassembling the operation panel
Operation panel, IP-100 is constructed with precision components.
Leave the action such as disassembling the panel case or the like to our service department since injury by
electric shock or failure of panel will be caused.
If the force more than expected is applied when disassembling the panel case, it may be damaged since it
is made of the plastic molding.
Especially when performing disassembling (opening/closing) the front panel and the rear panel in the state
that the smart media cover attached to the rear case is closed, the small-sized switch mounted on the inside
of the printed circuit board interferes with the smart media cover and may be damaged. So, be careful.
It is necessary to assemble all screws used in the operation panel with tightening torque of 0.56Ncm. (Excluding
screws to fix it on the machine head and to fix the earth wire.)
3) Prohibition of the change of DIP switch setting
Do not perform the changeover of DIP switches since the guarantee of control program and stored data
cannot be performed.
It is not necessary to operate these switches since they are all changeover switches for the production by
the manufacturers.
(Caution) The 4-string DIP switches are not exposed unless the operation panel case is disassembled.
