(3) Cautions in operation
1) Be sure to drain oil in the oil tank and attach the air vent cap (red rubber cap) supplied with the machine
to the air vent (golden bushing) located on the side face of the machine bed when transporting the
sewing machine.

2) In the case where placing SS or SU type machine on a stand or the like before setting the machine to
the machine table, to protect the oil tank from damage, take care if there is any protruding object under
the stand or the like.

3) Be sure to securely set the connector of the safety switch to the control box to prevent accidents at the
time of maintenance.

4) Oil is kept in the gear box for lubrication. It is not necessary to replace the oil. Do not remove the gear
box cover except when it is necessary.
* When the box cover has been removed, it is necessary to replace the packing.

5) Be sure to operate the sewing machine with the bobbin case removed when making the sewing machine
run idle.
If the bobbin thread is in the bobbin case, the thread protrudes from the bobbin case and is entangled
in the hook race or the hook shaft. As a result, the trouble will be caused.

(39) Applying the exclusive grease

* Exclusive grease (23640204) is applied to the portions other than the lubricating portions to which
lubrication is necessary
It is not necessary to add grease to the portions when the machine is generally used. However, when
the machine is used under the severe conditions, it is effective to periodically fill up the exclusive grease
(approximately once or twice a year).

[Note when applying grease]

1) Needle bar metal of DS and DU heads
Needle bar metals are set to the upper and lower parts of the needle bar support base and there is a
grease groove inside each metal (No. 55). Draw the needle bar and fill up the exclusive grease to the
groove.
When newly filling up the grease, make the sewing machine run idle for 10 seconds each to discharge
excess grease which occurs at this time and wipe the grease. Perform this operation several times and
use the sewing machine when the grease does not occur.

PREFACE
This Engineer’s Manual is written for the technical personnel who are responsible for the service and maintenance
of the sewing machine. This manual describes “Adjustment Procedure”, “Results of Improper Adjustment”, and
other functions which are not covered by the Instruction Book intended for the maintenance personnel and
sewing operators at a sewing factory.
All personnel engaged in repair of LZ-2290 Series • CP-760 / SC-905 are required to carefully read Section 2
“Standard Adjustment” which contains important information on the maintenance of LZ-2290 Series • CP-760 /
SC-905.
The “Standard Adjustment” consists of two parts ; the former part presents illustration and simplified explanation
for the convenience of reconfirmation of the required adjustment values in carrying out actual adjustment after
reading this manual once; and the latter part provides “Results of Improper Adjustment” in which sewing and/or
mechanical failures, and the correcting procedures are explained for those persons who perform such adjustment
for the first time.
It is advisable to use “LZ-2290 Series • CP-760 / SC-905 Parts Book” together with this Engineer’s Manual.
