Remove the Grip Release Slide Lever (9025) and Grip Release Slide (9022) and set them aside.

Loosen and remove the Wire Guide Spring Bracket Screw (9075), which will release the Wire Guide

Spring Bracket (2651) from the top of the Bonnet. Loosen the Face Plate Locating Screw (2608) and

slide the Face Plate Adjustment Slide Block (2611) or the Face Plate Lock Clamp (2606) and Lock

Block (2607) out the top of the Bonnet. The Driving Slide Assembly Link (2142A or 2627A) will be

free to slide out of the top of the Bonnet now as well as the Bender Bar Assembly (9013BA). Loosen

and remove the Supporter Spring Lever Bushing (9037) as well as the Supporter Spring (9032). The

Supporter Spring Lever Assembly (9036A) will now be swinging freely within the Bonnet. Loosen

and remove the Supporter Spring Lever Screw (9034) to remove the Lever Assembly from the

Bonnet.

Any of these assemblies can now be taken apart for cleaning or repair. The Bonnet itself can also

be cleaned or checked for damage. Most common wear parts can be exchanged while the Head is still

assembled though. Reassembling the Head is as simple as reversing the method used to disassemble

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 19)

1. Insert the Supporter Spring Lever Screw (9034) through the Supporter Spring Lever Assembly

(9036A) and into the Bonnet. Grease one end of the Supporter Spring and insert it into the Supporter

Spring Lever Bushing (9037). Insert both the Spring and Bushing into the back of the Bonnet but do

not tighten the Bushing completely at this point.

2. Start the Bender Bar Assembly (9013BA) into the top of the Bonnet. Hook the Driver Bar Assembly

(9012A, 9512A or 9712A) in the notch of the Driving Slide Assembly Link (2137A, 2142A, 2623A

or 2627A) and finish guiding both assemblies between the rails of the Bonnet.

3. Slide the Face Plate Lock Clamp (2606) and Block (2607) or the Face Plate Adjustment Slide

Block (2611) into the top of the Bonnet but do not tighten the Face Plate Locating Screw at this point.

Next, slide the Wire Guide Spring Bracket (2651) into the top of the Bonnet and secure it with the

Wire Guide Spring Bracket Screw (9075).

4. Secure the Grip Release Slide Lever (9025) on the Pivot Pin on the Wire Guide Spring Bracket.

Oil the right rail of the Bonnet slightly, engage the Lever in the notch of the Grip Release Slide (9022)

and rest the Slide on the rail of the Bonnet.

5. Grease one end of the Wire Cutter Operating Slide Friction Spring (9051) and the Wire Cutter

Operating Slide Friction Plug (9050) and insert both into the Bonnet. Rest the Wire Cutter Operating

Slide (9049), along the left Bonnet rail, on the Friction Plug. Secure the Swivel Operating Lever

(2151A), the Swivel Operating Lever Hub (2154) and the Swivel Operating Lever Stud (2152 or

9127) to the Bonnet. Verify the orientation is correct.

6. Secure the Face Plate (2132BA or 2146CA), with the Wire Cutters (9048), to the Bonnet by

tightening the Screws (UA2305.2 and 0084) securing the Face Plate Clips (9056 and 9171). Make

sure the internal assemblies move freely before mounting the Head on a Machine.
