How To Replace This Lever Set

1. First, switch off the machine and open the side cover fully.
2. Next, remove the retaining screws holding the worn lever set in place.
3. Then, lift away the old 270043/270044 levers from their mounting points.
4. After that, fit the replacement set and align it with the cover’s latch mechanism.
5. Following this, secure the retaining screws without overtightening.
6. Finally, close the cover a few times to confirm it latches firmly and sits flush.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs this lever set needs replacing?

A side cover that rattles, doesn’t latch firmly, or pops open on its own during operation are the clearest signs. On an M800 series machine running long shifts, this lever sees constant use every time the cover is opened for threading or cleaning.

Why does the side cover latching properly matter?

A loose or open side cover exposes the looper and trimming mechanism to lint and thread waste, which can work into the mechanism over time and affect looper timing or thread trimming reliability.

Does this fit the Pegasus M700 series too?

The M700 and M800 series share a similar overlock platform, but cover shapes and lever mounts can differ. Compare your existing lever set against 270043/270044 before ordering if you’re not certain of your exact model.

Is fitting this lever set a simple job?

Yes — it’s a straightforward screw removal and refit, well within reach of in-house maintenance staff without disturbing any timing or tension settings elsewhere on the machine.

Does this ship with COD and pan-India delivery?

Yes, this set ships pan-India with cash-on-delivery available on eligible orders, along with GST billing for business buyers.
