Assembling the carriage (ADF)

Extract from the operating instructions

Section Assembling carriage part and carriage support

If the front carriage part is returned to the machine, it needs to be pushed from outside on to the support surface (1). The reason for this: The movable parts in the clamping and cutting bed will be pushed by the carriage part (more exactly: by the cam box curves) into their correct position.

Please observe the following procedure:

	Procedure
Front Needle Bed	Open the lateral safety door (on the right side). Push the carriage part from outside onto the support surface (1). Push the carriage part in until it reaches the clamping and cutting bed.
Rear Needle Bed	Push both sliding boards in the same direction. Position the carriage part on the support surface (1).

What is to be considered with the weave-in devices?

Move the yarn carriers (2) from the clamping and cutting area into the needle bed.
If you cannot open the lateral safety door completely because of space reasons, we recommend you to dismantle the clamping and cutting bed (3) to prevent the weave-in device from getting damaged.

1: On the removed carriage part, move manually all the weave-in devices (4) into their upper position (out of operation).

2: Push the carriage part from outside onto the support surface (1).
To prevent the weave-in devices from colliding with the support (5) lift the carriage part somewhat and push it inward.

3: If the outer cams are positioned above the clamping and cutting bed, position the carriage part on the support surface.

4: Push the carriage part inward and assemble with the carriage assembly.
