Normal timing adjustment of the shuttle hook.
1. Turn the handwheel counter-clockwise until the
oscillating shuttle hook is positioned to the fullest
most left position of its travel with the needle at the
“Bottom-Dead-Center” of its travel (fully down).
2. The point of the oscillating shuttle hook

(B).
should then be equal to 1 mm with the end of the
steel shuttle hook race
#
(C).
To Adjust the position of the oscillating shuttle hook.
1. Open the front inspection plate cover; located under
the stitch length regulator lever on the front of the
TORO machines’ casting.
2. Insert a 6 mm Allen wrench into the adjusting screw
#
(2) and loosen the screw slightly. It is very TIGHT!
3. Fully loosen the Allen screw and rotate the shuttle
hook either clockwise or counter-clockwise to align
the shuttle hook correctly as shown in Fig. 14-1.
4. Remember to firmly tighten the Allen screw
#
(2) when
you have accomplished the adjustment.
To adjust the needle bar height and timing relationship:
1. Set the stitch length lever to the “0” position.
2. Turn the handwheel counter-clockwise until the needle
bar is at its lowest position (bottom-dead-center).
3. Continue turning the handwheel in a counter-clockwise
rotation and raise the needle bar up exactly 4 mm or
approximately 5/32” up from “bottom-dead-center”.
The point of the shuttle hook
#
(3) should exactly
bisect the center of the needle, and be approximately
in the center of the needle, just above the eye of the
needle and at the bottom 1/3 of the needle scarf.
This adjustment is crucial to form a proper stitch.
4. At this point, the bottom of the needle bar should be
exactly 31mm or 1-7/32” above the top surface of the
standard needle plate
