Hildebrand Report post Posted June 22, 2020 Have any of you CB4500 users had an issue with the reverse lever wanting to slip down thus shortening the stitches. I haven't used the machine in a couple months and last night when I went to use it I couldn't figure out why it was off while stitching in reverse then I noticed the lever was not staying where I put it. Also if anyone has a fix for this I would appreciate it. I can just hold it up but sometimes I start with 3 stitches in reverse then come forward to sew and I need to hold the threads. Thanks, Todd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Coach Saddlery Report post Posted June 23, 2020 I could be wrong but I believe if you take the back cover off there is an Allen screw on the shaft that just needs to be tightened. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hildebrand Report post Posted June 23, 2020 Thank you everyone for the fixes. Bob is there a certain point the rod needs to be at before I tighten it? Thanks, Todd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowboyBob Report post Posted June 23, 2020 No,just so it's easy to get to,it is a pinch collar that rotates on a shoulder screw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
