BabyLock BLSE300 serger feed dogs not moving

I have a Baby Lock serger model BLSE300. I have not had the chance to use it in quite some time. I tried to use it today, and it is not feeding the fabric through. The feed dogs are not moving at all. It is set up for 4 thread serging, and the differential is set at 85. I have gone through the instruction booklet that came with the machine, but am not finding anything that tells me what to check or what to do. Please help! Thank you!

I would take out the needles, take off the stitch plate, and do a very thorough cleaning and oiling per the instructions, then try to run it (needles out) at top speed. If it's just a matter of lack of lubrication, that may do it.

Machines -- sergers, sewing machines, knitting machines, etc -- all need to be exercised regularly. When I haven't used a particular machine during a month, I do the clean/oil/run with needles out for at least 5 minutes, and preferably

  1. I suspect after a long sitting, the lubricants have evaporated or gummed up, and you may need a trip to the serger doc for some TLC for the machine.

Why won?t Sergerpull fabric thru? Also needle holder is loose on shaft, needles are tight and so is thread holder.
