Care and maintenance

10 10.01 Care and maintenance Servicing and maintenance intervals
Clean... daily, more often if in continuous operation Check oil level.. monthly (does not apply to the 1181-D and 1183-D) Oil the trimmer -731/01.. once a week, more often if in continuous operation These maintenance intervals are calculated for the average running time of a single shift operation. If the machine is operated more than this, shorter intervals are recommended.

Cleaning the machine

The cleaning cycle required for the machine depends on following factors: Single or several shift operation Amount of dust resulting from the workpiece It is therefore only possible to stipulate the best possible cleaning instructions for each individual case. For all cleaning work the machine must be disconnected from the mains by switching off the on/off switch or by removing the mains plug! Danger of injury if the machine suddenly starts up.
To avoid breakdowns, the following cleaning work is recommended for single shift operation: Swing out the cover plate and tilt back the sewing head. Clean the hook and hook compartment daily, more often if in continuous operation. Return the machine to its upright position using both hands! Danger of injury by crushing between the edge of the machine and the table top!

10.03 Topping up the oil tank (does not apply to the 1181-D and 1183-D)
The PFAFF 1181-D and 1183-D are totally maintenance-free and run without any oil. Es muss sich immer l im Vorratsbehlter benden! Whenever it is necessary to rell the reservoir, tilt back the machine and let it rest on the sewing head support. Fill oil through hole 1 into the reservoir 2 up to the level of the front edge (see arrow). Use both hands to set the sewing head upright! Danger of crushing between the sewing head and the table top!
