Empisal KH-90 knitting machine

Empisal KH90 knitting machine has 200 needles, 4.5 mm, which makes it a standard-gauge knitting machine.

In terms of its functionality and pattern center features/design, Empisal KH-90 is identical to Brother KH552 (which kind of makes sense: the color combo is similar to KH551, the last 4-pushbutton machine); however, KH552 does not come with the lace carriage and Empisal KH90 does. , even the carriages, but I do not know if the carriages are interchangible.

So, it looks like the only inherited feature from KH551 is its color. The Empisal KH-90 shows “advanced” pushbutton center and other features (e.g., more modern and universal row counter) similar to a KH580, Profile 583 and Brother Profile 585 knitting machines (although the button shapes are slightly different).

The functionality of the carriage for Empisal KH90 is more similar to Brother pushbutton machines than to the Empisal ones. Thus, refer to the corresponding pages and manuals if you cannot find information on Empisal KH-90.
