   • the back (D02) cover are removed. And, pull out the pin (D03).
   • Note do not remove screw (R17).
     
5. Match the hole of the driving link (R18) and the hole of feed regulator cam (R16) and fix the pin (119). (Fit the hole of feed regulator cam (R16) to the hole of driving link (R18) moving driving link up and down and back and forth. Lean arm when driving link (R18) does not move back and forth and rotate the reverse bracket.)
6. Match the set of pin (119) and the screw (R17) of the feed regulator cam (R16) and tighten a right screw previously. Tighten the screw after confirming the screw fits in the set.
7. Match the back cover (114) to arm and tighten the screw on the left of the back cover (114) loosely.
8. Take out the driving link (115) from the groove of the back cover (114). (Pull the knuckle to the point in the under.)

Exchange of feed dog, fixed knife, and needle plate

Exchange parts of the figure below which you have for the one (101, 102, 103) of the accessory.

Installation of solenoid valve

1. Connect the urethane tube (104) with elbow unions of air cylinder assembly (108).
2. Install solenoid value assembly (121) on the place where urethane tube (104) and under the table reach.
3. Connect the upper part of elbow unions installed on the air cylinder assembly (108) with A port of the solenoid valve assembly (121) by the urethane tube (104). Similarly, connect the lower side of elbow unions and B port of the solenoid valve assembly (121) by the urethane tube (104).
4. Connect the connector of solenoid value assembly (121) with option B of the control board.
5. Connect the air supply source to the P port of the solenoid value.
6. Use the regulator and the branch device which you prepared.
   

Exchange of stitch length indicating plate.

1. Turn the dial left and make the stitch length indicating plate to 0 points.
2. Loosen the screw at the center of the dial and remove the dial.
3. Remove the stitch length indicating plate (D04) from the dial and fix stitch length indicating plate (106) of this kit into the dial.
4. Make 0 points of the dial just above. after that, tighten the screw to install the dial.
   
5. Adjustment of thread trimmer cam
   Refer to “Adjusting of thread trimmer cam” of instruction manual for LU2-4410.
6. Timing between rotating hook motion and needle motion
   Refer to “Adjusting of timing between rotating hook motion and needle motion” of the instruction manual for LU2-4410.
7. Initial position of movable knife
   When you install this kit, the position need not be adjusted. Refer to “install of movable knife” of the manual for the exchange of the movable knife . However, the adjustment of the movable knife changes because the shape of the fixed knife changed. Adjust to hide the point of the movable knife from the point of the blade of the fixed knife by 0-0.5 mm.
   
8. Adjusting of the stitch length before trimming
   Depending on sewing conditions, the stitch immediately before trimming may not be formed correctly. This may cause the trimmed tail length to be long. In this case, adjust the length of the stitch immediately before the trimming position to ensure that a proper stitch is formed. As reference, the standard stitch length is 1 to 2 mm. The length of the stitch immediately before trimming can be adjusted by moving the position of the knuckle to the air cylinder shaft up/down. Adjust with the following methods.
   1. Loosen the nut on the knuckle.
   2. Rotate the air cylinder shaft. Adjust the position of the knuckle to the air cylinder shaft.
   3. The stitch immediately before trimming is as follows.
      • During forward stitching: Looking from above, turn the shaft clockwise to change to reverse stitching.
      • Too short during reverse stitching: Looking from above, turn the shaft clockwise.
      • Too long during reverse stitching: Looking from above, turn the shaft counterclockwise.
        The stitch length changes about 1 mm when the shaft is rotated once.
        In the position of the knuckle when shipping, dimension A between the lower surface of the air cylinder and the upper surface of the knuckle is 19 mm like the below figure with the air cylinder drawn in.
        
9. Setting up the XC-GMFY control box
   Set the control box to machine model LU2-4412 by simple setting function.
