Care and maintenance

10.01

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.

10.02

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!

Care and maintenance
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 Öl im Vorratsbehälter beﬁnden!

● Whenever it is necessary to reﬁll 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!

Only use oil with a mean viscosity of 22.0 mm2/s at 40°C
and a density of 0.865 g/cm3 at
15°C.

We recommend PFAFF sewing machine oil, part no. 280-1-120 144.
