[@Abbydoobey]

Yet no one talks about how tight these screws are on top of the bobbin housing. It’s been 4 days and I still haven’t been able to unscrew them because I don’t want to strip it-like I did the tight screws in the arm! Ughhh

[@angelocaduto647]

How do I get the screws out from above the bobbin case, the one screw head is disfigured.

[@ricomatv]

Hi there, call tech support and they will walk you through your issue: ricoma.com/us/tech-support

[@anabeastmode]

What are some errors that may be caused by waiting too long in between maintenance? I am getting "main axis reverse", my machine has a relatively short life (about 15-20 jobs under 2k count) but it looks like the mechanisms are starting to get sticky/gunky and it feels like it's overcompensating on the downward stitch

[@ricomatv]

Your main axis could be binding due to lack of oil and certain components may wear faster.

[@anabeastmode]

@@ricomatv On a new machine? Did I just spend almost 10k on a machine that "wears faster" than other machines? What a jip

[@ricomatv]

There are certain maintenance as frequent as oiling rotary hook every 4 hours of use that if not performed are going to cause issues, so it’s not a “jip”, just things that machine owners are required to do

[@anabeastmode]

@@ricomatv I'm referring to more in depth maintenance, of course I have been doing the standard oil AND weekly greasing. The machine has had less than 10 hours of use and I've done oiling twice and grease twice

[@anabeastmode]

@@ricomatv I think my question should have been is there anything other than maintenance that would cause that error? I have done The maintenance what 5.5 hours insured of 4, I am still having the issue. Do I need to replace a part?

[@ShayROneal]

How do you get to the needle plate to unscrew it ? My screw driver won’t fit behind the head

[@ricomatv]

You'll have to move it to needle 1 or get an angled screwdriver!

[@ShayROneal]

@@ricomatv thank you. Is there a video on how to fix the thread timing ?
