the Head. Always turn the machine over manually anytime repairs or adjustments are made for the

safety of both the operator and the Stitcher Head.

Re-assembling the Stitcher Head (Figure 21)

1. Slide the Feed Slide Assembly into the Bonnet from the top. Make sure the Slide moves freely

within the Bonnet but has minimal side-to-side play. Slide the Bender Bar Assembly into the Bonnet

from the bottom, compress the Bender Bar Latch and press down the Supporter Assembly to

completely position the Bender Bar within the Bonnet.

2. Turn the Bonnet over and position the Driving Slide Assembly so that the Driving Slide Plunger

(G20164) rests in the notch of the Driver Bar and secure this position with the Cap Screw tightened

completely.

3. Assemble the Feed Gear Bracket Assembly to the Bonnet by first ling up the three (3) pins in the

Bracket with the holes in the Bonnet. Secure the Feed Gear Bracket with two (2) Cap Screws and two

(2) Machine Screws. The teeth of the Large Feed Gear Assembly (G20110A) may have to be lined

up manually with the teeth of the Feed Rack (G20127).

4. Re-assemble the Feed Lever Assembly to the Bonnet with the Feed Lever Pin (G20262A),

making sure the oil hole in the pin is facing downward. Secure the Pin by tightening the Set Screw

(G20264) in the side of the Bonnet. Replace the Feed Lever Spring through the Feed Lever and secure

it with the Feed Lever Spring Bushing (G20267).

5. Assemble the Cutter Block Assembly to the Cutter Block Slide Plate (G20202) with two (2) Flat

Head Screws. There should be little or no play once the Block is secure, but if there is any

movement, remove both the Cutter Block and the Slide Plate. Re-assemble the Slide Plate to the

Bonnet so that it slides side to side but not up and down.

6. Return the Wire Holder Assembly to its position under the Wire Holder Retaining Spring and the

Middle Wire Tube to its position by inserting it into the Lower Wire Tube and snapping it into place

in the Middle Wire Tube Clip.
