X-Rack Installation
1. Remove the blue 12-foot rack (Page 3, A) and the
HQ Pro-Stitcher carriage (E) from the box. Cut the
cable ties from the front of the carriage (see Figure
1).
2. Starting at one end of the table, begin mounting
the blue rack to the table. Peel back just a few
inches of the protective layer of the tape. Position
the blue rack using the wooden alignment block (M)
as a guide. The wood block should be laid flat on the
black plastic table top, butted against the inside edge
of the front aluminum track extrusion (see
Figure 2). The blue rack then butts against the opposite
side of the block so the blue rack is mounted
2” away from the front track. The block should be
flat on the table and not on top of the blue rack or
the aluminum extrusion. Press down on the blue
rack to stick it firmly to the table. Pull the pink
protective layer from the back side of the rack while
shifting the block down the length of the table until
about two feet of the rack have been mounted.
3. Place the HQ Pro-Stitcher carriage on the frame
and verify that the front white gear is aligned with
the blue rack that has just been mounted to the
table top.
