Oiling the TOYOTA Expert 860

Oiling is important for maintaining the machine performance over an extended period of time. Be sure to oil your machine as instructed below. Oil sparingly without using excessive oil to avoid spotting on the garments you are embroidering. (After oiling try stitching on two pieces of backing or placing rinse away topping over the first garment).

There are 13 oiling locations on the TOYOTA Expert 860. Most all of them require 1 drop of oil after 8 hours of production. It’s recommended to oil first thing in the morning to allow for the oil to move through the machine. Once oiled you may wish to either stitch out on some backing to get rid of the excess oil or place a water-soluble topping on the first garment of the day.

Oiling Instructions

Locate the hole behind the needle plate designated by the arrow. Oil 1 drop daily.

Locate the rail on the rotary hook. It is necessary to remove the needle plate and the bobbin case. After this spot is oiled it is a good idea to press the Trimming button 2 - 3 times. Oil 1 drop daily.

Locate this spot marked in red by moving the embroidery head to needle position 1. Oil 1 drop daily.

Located near the hand wheel on top of the machine is the Rear Top Cover. This spot is marked in red. Oil 1 drop daily.

Straight back from the needle plate is the Rear Bed Cover in which the oiling spot is designated in red. Oil 1 drop daily.

By using the A/M button on the control panel put the machine in needle position 12 and oil the 5 red spots on the right side cover. Oil 1 drop daily.

Place the machine in needle position 6 and open the door cover. Notice the red spot on the needle bar. Rotate the hand wheel to oil the 2 spots on the crank rod of the needle bar. (You may need to remove the black rubber cover next to needle bar. You may wish to take off the side cover the first time to see exactly where you are oiling.)

The two locations designated below require 1 drop of oil weekly. To reach these spots lubricate the rail in needle position 1 and needle position 12 as shown in the pictures below.
