HQ Pro-Stitcher User Manual - Handi Quilter

The HQ Pro-Stitcher is an upgrade
to a Non-Regulated HQ Sixteen
1. Follow the instructions for attaching a new Y-axis
encoder assembly (steps 2-4 above) that came with
the Stitch Regulator Upgrade Kit.
The HQ Pro-Stitcher was purchased
with a new HQ Sixteen
1. The correct Y-axis encoder assembly should already
be attached to the HQ Sixteen.
Power Cord Retaining Clamp Installation
(HQ Sixteen only)
1. Set the HQ Sixteen back up on its wheels and
make sure it is unplugged.
2. Remove the four P-Pod mounting screws from
the P-Pod (the plastic box on the left-hand side of the
HQ Sixteen which contains the power cord receptacle)
using a Phillips screwdriver. Please note that
the bottom left-hand screw is longer than the other
three.
3. Carefully disconnect all three cables from the
P-Pod.
4. If working with an upgrade that included a new
P-Pod, get it out now and continue the following
steps using the new P-Pod, otherwise the following
steps apply to the P-Pod that was just removed.
5. Loosen the two screws that mount the power
cord receptacle to the plastic P-Pod using a Philips
screwdriver and, if the screws include nuts on the opposite
end, a wrench or small pliers to hold the nut
(the two Phillips head screws are accessible from the
exterior of the pod while the nuts are on the interior).
6. Slide the retaining clamp (Page 16, P) over one
end of the new Y-split power cord (I).
7. Insert the power cord into the receptacle on the
P-Pod while sliding the two slots on the clamp behind
the two screws that were just loosened.
8. Make sure the power cord is fully inserted, and
then tighten the two P-Pod screws so they hold the
clamp securely against the P-Pod. Insert the small
screw included with the retaining clamp into the
clamping portion of the retaining clamp and tighten
so the clamp is now tight on the power cord as
shown in Figure10.
9. Re-connect the three P-Pod cables and then reattach
the P-Pod to the HQ Sixteen head (remember,
the long screw should be in the bottom left-hand
hole).
