m NEEDLE BAR (Left and Right) MECHANISM TYPES B835 and B836
(To Stop the Right Side Needle Bar)

1. Move stop lever assembly O to the right side. (Push lever O rises, and the convex part of the back side of stop lever O
attaches to push lever O and stops.)
2. Lever shaft arm O and slide shaft O are moved to the right side via lever shaft arm ©which is attached to stop lever
assembly ©.
3. The slide bearing board assembly © which fits in slide shaft © moves to the right side via collar © and bearing board
spring ©.
4. The pin which is attached to the tipof thrust bearing board assembly © moves sliding blockoperation shaft © to the left
side via moving crank ©.
5. Sliding block assembly © is moved to the rightside viasliding blockoperation lever © whichfits inthe pinscrew affixed
to sliding block operation shaft ©.
6. When the convex part of sliding block assembly © contacts the clutch lever of needle bar connecting stud © attached
to needle bars ©, the clutch in needle bar connecting stud © breaks away from needle bar © and needle bar © stops.
* When the left side needle is caused to stop, the reverse sequence is performed.
(Cancellation of Needle Bar Termination)

m
When machine pulley O turns in the direction of the arrow, the rotation is conveyed to upper shaft O and causes the
rotation of top feed eccentric wheel O-
The top feed eccentric wheel crank O is moved in an arc by top feed eccentric wheel O' via top feed connecting rod O-
Motion is conveyed to bell crank O via top feed shaft O which is affixed to top feed eccentric wheel crank O.
Bell crank link O causes the up-down motion of top feed presser link O via bell crank O-
The lop feed presser link O 'S guided by the groove (oval) of middle presser guide plate <E> and conveys motion to top
feed presser bar O.
Middle presser ® affixed to top feed presser bar ® is caused to move up and down.
By loosening wing nut ® and adjusting the position of hinge screw the amount of motion of lop feed eccentric
crank O is changed and alteration of the amount of up-down motion of middle presser ® becomes possible.

pressed to reverse. (The needle up stop element should be at approximately 8 on the position detector scale.)
[Adjustment]
Loosen screw O- and move the thread cutter element O- needle down stop element O- and needle up stop element O.
respectively.
QZI CORNER SEWING POSITION ADJUSTMENT (B835 B836)

1. Needle feed rocker crank adjustment
Turn the center screw O in the fork of the slide arm O
so the needle feed rocker crank O fits in the fork.
Tighten nut O after the adjustment iscompleted to hold
the crank secure in the fork.
Stiff needle feed rocker crank O operation will make the needle bar stiff, too.

2. Push lever position adjustment
Push the shaft O 'n the direction of the arrowto prevent
horizontal play, and tighten screw O to the screw stop.
Be sure the push lever O still operates smoothly.
Snap ring
Excessive horizontal play will affect the stop lever position, and will result in poor operation of both needles
together or either independently It will be hard to drive both or either needlefs) if the drive torque is too great.
3. Slide shaft adjustment
Slide shaft support bracket
Set stop lever O to R on position guide O- Loosen screw 0 and move lever shaft arm 0 right or left so that the end of
slide shaft O is even with the end of slide shaft support 0.
Lever shaft arm 0 will not function properly, and levershaft arm spring and set collar adjustment will be difficult, ifthe
slide shaft O is not properly aligned with the end of slide shaft support 0.

4. Slide shaft support bracket adjustment
Set the stop lever to the dot on the position guide. Align the left end of slide block O with the left side of the needle bar
frame O.
Insertguidescrew O through the oval hole mslideshaft support bracketO- and screwthe set screwtightly intocollar

Tighten stop screw O.
Improper adjustment may damage the slide block tab and release pin end. resulting in damage to the release pin and
needle bar assembly

★ Spring pressure is properly adjusted if the stop leverO stops at the center dot when the push lever O is released from
the L and R positions.
★ Screwthe collarO tightat the pointwhere the stop lever armspring 0 lightly touches thecollarO when the stop lever
0 is set to the L or R position.
Spring pressure should be equal at both positions L and R.

If the stop lever O will not stop at the dot. readjust the stop lever arm spring pressure.
6. Needle bar stop adjustment
Approx. 0.5 mm
★ Set the needle bar O to the up position.

★ The gap between the needle bartop and needle barstop O bottom should be approx. 0.5 mm. Turn the needle barstop
O to adjust.
★ Presser foot height (B835-900)
1 The presser foot O should be raised 7 mm above the needle plate by the presser bar lifter cylinder O.
2. Loosen screw O and vertically adjust the cylinder bracket O to adjust.
