KAYAK45 Report post Posted September 18, 2012 First lay out all the parts on the floor. Read the directions! Dry assemble by putting the parts on the floor in close proximaty to where they go. Read the directions. Look at the pictures. You will NEED a helper to mount the head. Read the directions. Look at the pictures. Before you add the drive belt, make sure it will free wheel by hand with NO rough spots. After the belt is tensioned you will need..a little power..to free the motor for hand wheel. It probably will come with thread to the needle, cut off the spool. Do not pull it out. When ready to thread follow the old thread and put new thread from spool, one step at a time. Do not adjust the tension. Something else is wrong. It came set up. .. Adjust your pedal linkage, should be ready to screw up...I mean sew. LOL Good luck, Kevin PS: To adjust your table height after starting, please disconnect power and pedal linkage, and have a helper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massive Report post Posted September 23, 2012 I had to use a winch to raise my machine onto the second floor. Never lift anything truly heavy if I can avoid it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
