that the Carriage Encoder Assembly will be

carriage has an encoder assembly aached
to the rear cross-piece. Be sure to place the
carriage on the frame correctly.
2. Place the machine on the carriage.
3. Plug the ribbon cable into the Carriage Encoder Assembly. The connector is keyed, so make sure the
keyed poron of the cable connector aligns with the keyed poron of the encoder connector.
4. The remaining length of cable comes back
under the Power Pod from the Rear Encoder
Assembly, behind the machine, and into the
9-pin serial port of the machine.
ÂIMPORTANT: If the machine is to be removed from the carriage, rst disconnect the cable from
the Carriage Encoder Assembly. The other two connectors on the cable should remain in place.
Failure to unplug the cable when removing the machine from the carriage could result in damage
to the cable, encoders, and carriage.

2. Line up the holes on top of the handles with the pre-drilled holes on top of the machine.
3. Slide a single bolt into one of the holes unl it stops. Hand-ghten the bolt enough to secure the
handles to the top of the machine, but sll allow you to rotate the handles.
4. Secure the short 9-pin handlebar serial cable to the serial port (see diagram B, #20) on the back
casing of the machine.
NOTE: You may need to rotate the handle slightly to allow access to the nger screws.

handlebar bolts. Use the included 5 mm Hex wrench to securely fasten the handles to the front of
the machine.

UCAUTION: Check that the HQ Fusion is unplugged from the electrical outlet. All power to the
machine must be turned o when installing the back handles. Failure to do so can result in damage
to the machine.
To install the rear handles
The rear handlebar comes mounted with three screws to the L-bracket.
1. Line up the two holes in the L- bracket with those on the rear of the machine. Slide the short bolts
into holes unl they stop. Hand ghten, and then use the Hex wrench to securely fasten the handles
to the back of the machine.
2. Once the two bolts are in place, plug the 9-pin connector into the serial port underneath the rear
handles (see diagram C, #32). Ensure the pins are lined up so they are not damaged when the plug is
pushed in. Push the plug securely in place.
ÂIMPORTANT: Aer the handles have been completely installed and plugged in, test them by turning
on the HQ Fusion. (You will not be able to turn on the machine unl the front handlebars have been
installed.) If nothing is displayed, press the display power buon on the top right of the touch-

turning the front or rear hand wheel or pressing
the needle up/down control on the handles.
Then turn o the power.
2. Loosen the needle-bar-clamp thumb-screw
3. With the scarf (small ground-out secon/dip
on the back side of the needle just above the
needle eye) facing toward the back hand-wheel
side of the machine, and the long groove down
the front of the needle facing the bobbin case
side, push the needle all the way up into the
needlebar, unl it can go no farther.
4. Carefully ghten the needle bar clamp screw.
UCAUTION: Over-ghtening the needle-clamp screw will result in damaged threads stripping the
hole. Stripped holes and damaged threads are not covered under warranty. Another side eect
of damaged threads is that the needle may be very ght when inserted up into the needle bar. To
avoid over ghtening the screw, nger ghten only.
NOTE: Changing the needle is recommended for each new quilt loaded on the machine or any
me the needle becomes bent, dull or burred.
UCAUTION: Check the needle to conrm it is fully inserted. The needle bar has a stop/sight hole
above the needle bar clamp screw. Make sure the needle is touching the top of the stop/sight
hole. If it is not, the machine ming will be o and it may be possible for the needle to collide
with internal parts causing damage not covered by warranty.
