Toyota AD 860 Embroidery Machine-repair

A piece of fabric got caught in the rotary hook. I gently removed it and had to retime the machine. It will pick up the bobbin thread and sew about 12 stitches, then displays a message --Sewing Motor Lock. The rear wheel will rotate 3 times then almost gets stuck with the needle at its lowest position. It appears to need to be aligned, but I don't know how. Any Help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Take the rotary hook off of the machine and see if the machine still binds.

If the machine turns freely replace the rotary hook with a new one.

If the machine still binds you may want to check the needle depth, and the drive levers on the machine for adjustment.
