Mend Riccar 570 Super Stretch Help Sewing Needle Bar

Can anyone help with the Riccar Sewing Machine - Model 570 Super Stretch?

When the needle bar goes down, the needle doesn't pick up the thread from the bobbin. We've tried to shift the alignment of the needle rod, but the needle hits the shuttle hook resulting in it either bending or breaking. Please Help!! :'(

ok thread is getting picked up when needle is going up not down and by lowering needle bar you only do part timing, best to start from beginning and set needle bar at approx 5mm between needle clamp top and machine casing when needlebar is at highest position.now turn handwheel until needle is at bottom and then on way up is when you observe timing.a approx timing is set when hook point is aprox in center of needle indent after approx 5mm from bottom turn point of needle bar. there after it means a little back and fro with timing until its good.not all machines are the same so this is the basic.also make sure new and correct needle as well as the correct way of fitting needle and proper threading
