Set lubrication interval for needle bed
Between 1 and 65,535 courses can be set as a lubricating interval for the needle bed. An average value for a two-system machine is 30,000 courses (15,000 courses per knitting system). However, this value depends highly on: Machine speed, temperature and number of knitting systems. We recommend: Selecting a shorter lubricating interval instead of a longer one. After the lubricating interval expires, a message appears stating that the needle bed must be oiled.
