SOURCE: I need an instruction manual for the Elna Carina

There is a sewing guide available free here for the SU which is very similar to the Carina
http://www.arizonaexpressionz.com/elna_instruction_manuals/SU_air_electronic.pdf
but not an instruction Manual.

The SU, Carina, 500 and Jubilee all came with two books, instruction manual and sewing guide.

SOURCE: What make of walking foot

You need a low shank style walking foot. Even back in the 80's when your SU air electronic was new, the walking foot sold by Elna was an after market one, and not made by Tavaro. Same with the ruffler attachment, it was after market and actually fitted quite a few makes of machine.

I would just ask the dealer/shop if they will refund your money if you find it doesn't work just in case.

There is a low shank one on sewingpartsonline.com
http://www.sewingpartsonline.com/walking-foot-low-shank-p60444.aspx and they list the SU as compatible with it.

Take off the foot holder on your mache, and you need to fit the little open ended arm over the needle bar and the foot bracket onto the foot with your machine's regular thumb screw. The up and down movement of the needle bar operates the walking foot.
