Check the conditions alongside each answer. Foot attachment, shank type and adapter requirements are separate; one does not establish universal accessory fit.
What presser-foot rise is stated for the knee lifter?
conditional
10 mm standard and 13 mm maximum by knee lifter.
This is the knee-lifter rise measurement only; it does not establish shank class, holder geometry, attachment mechanism, adapter fit or compatible presser-foot items.
Turn off the power and ascertain that the motor is at rest before starting this work. Then fill the oil pan to the HIGH mark; when the level falls below LOW, refill it with the specified oil.
Use the oil specified by JUKI for the machine; do not infer a substitute from this procedure.
Which material applications does JUKI state?: Medium- and heavy-weight materials.
What maximum sewing speed is stated?: Maximum 4,000 stitches per minute.
What maximum stitch length is stated?: Maximum 5 mm.
Which needle system applies?: DB x 1.
Which needle-size range is stated?: #20 to #23, with alternate notation 134 #125 to #160.
What presser-foot rise is stated for the knee lifter?: 10 mm standard and 13 mm maximum by knee lifter.

How should the oil level be maintained?: Turn off the power and ascertain that the motor is at rest before starting this work. Then fill the oil pan to the HIGH mark; when the level falls below LOW, refill it with the specified oil.
To protect against possible personal injury due to abrupt start of the machine, be sure to start the following work after turning the power off and ascertaining that the motor is at rest.
Fill oil pan 1 with JUKI New Defrix Oil No. 1 up to HIGH mark A.
When the oil level lowers below LOW mark B, refill the oil pan with the specified oil.

Multiple cited representations for one field share one row. SewGraph preserves every value and exact proof passage; it does not guess which representation is “raw” or “normalized” when the public projection does not label that distinction.
Open the exact OEM PDF page or captured HTML edition when a safe destination exists; otherwise SewGraph labels the OEM support-page fallback honestly.
