Setup
- Mounting the Motor: Attach the motor to your industrial sewing machine table using the provided mounting bracket and hardware. Ensure the motor is securely fastened and aligned with the machine's handwheel pulley.
- Belt Installation: Install the drive belt between the motor pulley and the sewing machine's handwheel pulley. Adjust the motor's position to achieve proper belt tension. The belt should be taut but not overly tight.
- Install Belt Guard: Secure the belt guard over the motor pulley and belt to prevent accidental contact with moving parts.
- Foot Switch Connection: Connect the foot switch to the control unit. Attach the connecting rod from the foot switch to the machine's pedal mechanism. Ensure the foot switch operates smoothly.
- Power Connection: Plug the motor's power cord into a standard 110V AC outlet.
- Initial Power-On and Motor Direction: Turn on the motor. If the sewing machine handwheel rotates in the wrong direction, you will need to reverse the motor's rotation. Refer to the control unit's display and buttons (P, S, +, -) for specific instructions on reversing motor direction. This typically involves entering a programming mode and changing a parameter. Consult the quick start guide included with your motor for detailed steps on parameter adjustment.

Operating Instructions
- Power On: Ensure the motor is properly installed and connected. Flip the main power switch on the control unit to the 'ON' position. The digital display will illuminate.
- Speed Adjustment: Use the '+' and '-' buttons on the control unit to adjust the maximum operating speed (RPM). The display will show the current speed setting.
- Foot Pedal Operation: The foot pedal controls the motor's speed and start/stop function. Pressing the pedal lightly will start the motor at a low speed. Increasing pressure will gradually increase the speed up to the set maximum. Releasing the pedal will stop the motor.
- Parameter Settings: The 'P' button typically accesses programming mode for advanced settings such as motor direction, acceleration/deceleration rates, and needle positioning (if supported). Refer to the detailed programming guide for specific parameter adjustments.
- Saving Settings: After adjusting parameters, press the 'S' button to save the changes.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior of the motor and control unit with a dry, soft cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris to prevent overheating. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on electrical components.
- Belt Inspection: Periodically check the drive belt for wear, cracks, or proper tension. Replace worn belts promptly.
- Connection Check: Ensure all electrical connections and mounting hardware remain tight and secure.
- Lubrication: The servo motor is brushless and generally requires no internal lubrication. Do not attempt to lubric lubricate internal components unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.
