Juki 563 foot height adjustment

[treyallen]

I recently purchased a Juki 563 for a pretty decent price, and I'm excited to get started with sewing leather.  The machine runs really well so far.  I had to order a new table for it, a servo motor, and a step down pulley, but after all of that, it's great!  The only thing I am having an issue with is the foot height. 

I believe I read that it can handle up to 3/8.  I've been able to get 1/4, and that is it.  I have attempted to adjust the wignut and the screw, but haven't had much luck.  Am I missing something?

 

Thanks!

It could be that the hand lifter was replaced somewhere along the line & this one has a lower lift,how high does it lift with the knee lifter?
