In June of 2016, our Friend Mr. Jerry Kear decided to retire and sell his business to the Collier Family in
Lexington Alabama where his equipment developments would be manufactured and maintained with a good
family name. We strive to keep the integrity and maintain the long lasting reputation Jerry presented to the
industry for so many years. He will forever be missed and loved by many of us. RIP to our good friend.

Install electrical conduit (A).
Pull the electric cord through the
conduit and attach to your plug.
The machine requires 220 Single
Phase electricity. Connect to your
plug and confirm the proper
rotation of the motor.
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
Install air supply (B). A minimum of 80 psi is required to begin operation of the
machine. During operation, the air supply cannot drop below 50 psi. An air lock-
out device is located near the regulator. This device allows a Technician to
depressurize the air system during service of the pneumatic components.
Attach the mirror to the conduit. The operator should be able to see the pockets
as they enter the cut and stack operation ( C ).
Confirm the proper oil level in the
sewing head at (D).

AUTOMATED APPAREL EQUIPMENT
The machine can be operated in either
manual or automatic mode. Push the
"RUN" switch to manually operate the
machine.
Power is transferred to the sewing
machine shaft through belt (F) and to a
variable speed gearbox through a belt
(G). The output shaft of the gearbox is
directly coupled to the conveyor belt
drive pulley (H).
The moving belt of the pocket
conveyor moves the pockets through
the sewing machine (I) and on to the
cut and stack operation (J).
Automatic operation is controlled by the
button "0" on the Efka Controller and
turns on the photo-cell (L).
You should press the "0" button and be
in service / manual mode before
performing any maintenance to the
sewing head.
Before turning on main switch, confirm
that any foot pedals are free and that
the start pedal isn’t pressed.
The main power switch ( E ) turns the
motor controls on/off. Check the head
for proper rotation of the motor. 'The
pocket conveyor will always move in the
correct direction and is not a good check
for the direction of the motor drive.
