(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.

Adjustment Procedures Results of Improper Adjustment Adjustment Procedures Results of Improper Adjustment 1) Set the feed amount to 0 mm. Feed amount is regulated to (max. 2 mm at the time of delivery.) 2) Adjusting the height of the feed dog Loosen screw 1 and adjust the height of the feed dog by turning feed driving link shaft 2. 3) Adjusting the inclination of the feed dog Loosen screw 3. Put a screwdriver through the hole for the screwdriver and adjust the inclination of the feed dog by turning the feed rocker shaft with the screwdriver. (Caution) 1. If the feed rocker shaft is not pressed in the direction A (a) during the adjustment procedure, there will be a play at the feed bar or washer will come off. So, be sure 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. ™For the adjustment of ADU and ASU, refer to (5) Adjusting the slippage of materials and adjusting the feed timing.

Adjustment Procedures Results of Improper Adjustment 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. Max. normal feed amount of the mechanism LZ-2290ASS, ADS=5 mm LZ-2290ASU, ADU=2.5 mm Max. reverse feed amount of the mechanism LZ-2290ASS, ADS=4 mm LZ-2290ASU, ADU=2.5 mm Normal feed → large Reverse feed → small Nomal feed → small Reverse feed → large

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- 2290DU, set it to "0" mm. 3) In this state, loosen the setscrew in the hook driving shaft sprocket, and adjust timing mark on the horizontal feed cam to that of the horizontal feed rod. (Caution) In this case, the hook timing (thread trimming timing in case of the machine with thread trimmer) changes. Be sure to perform re-adjustment. ™The height 1.4 mm of the feed dog has been factory-set at the time of delivery. Change the height in accordance process the process. (Characteristic of slippage of materials changes. So, be careful. ™When the adjustment of the height of the feed dog has been performed, the sewing pitch is different from the scale on the stitch length dial. Re- adjust the scale with the actual sewing pitch. ™Characteristic of slippage of materials changes in accordance with materials. (The relation between the direction of the engraved dot and slippage of materials described in the Engineer’s Manusl is the standard of adjustment.) ™Adjust on the left-hand side the adjusting positions of the engraved marker dots of vertical feed link shafts 2 and 3. If the position of the engraved marker dot is on the right-hand side, the effect of prevention of slippage of material is difficult to be obtained. Range of use of engraved marker dot Left Right

(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.
