Jump Stitch Solenoid
Replacement
If a jump stitch solenoid must be replaced, follow these steps:
1. Color change the needle
case to needle #10 for
best access to the
solenoid area.
2. Remove the left arm front
cover to expose the jump
stitch solenoid mounting
bracket area (see Figure
3-16).
3. Use a pencil or other
suitable marking device
and mark the bracket
location in reference to
the front surface of the
arm casting at the
locations shown in Figure
3-16).
4. Remove the jump stitch
harness from any and all
cable clamps, then
disconnect the jump stitch harness in-line connector from the harness coming
from the side of the head.
5. Remove the 2 screws holding the mechanical jump stitch mechanism and cover
to the jump stitch bracket as shown in Figure 3-17. Remove the mechanism and
cover.
6. Remove the 2 jump stitch solenoid bracket screws shown in Figure 3-17, then
remove the solenoid and the solenoid bracket as one piece.
NOTICE: TO HELP AVOID THE NEED TO REMOVE THE NEEDLE CASE . . . Before you
remove the solenoid from the bracket, record the number of threads of
the solenoid that are showing beyond the solenoid bracket (or measure
the distance that the end of the solenoid protrudes from the solenoid
bracket). When the new solenoid is installed into the bracket, position the
solenoid with the same number of threads (or distance) that you recorded
in this step.
7. Loosen the solenoid locking nut then rotate the bracket off of the solenoid.
