22. Attach the handle to the crank with a 

M8 x 100 Cup Head Bolt

 by 

threading the bolt through the handle and crank. Check the handle 
spins freely and then lock it with a 

M8 Hex Nut

. Locate crank onto the 

shaft of warp roller 

Z

 and lock in place with 

6.5 x 40 Cotter Pin

. Spread 

the ends of the pin slightly to prevent it falling out.  

NOTE:

 

The cloth and warp roller must rotate in the direction shown.

 

24. Each shaft has holes on both edges of top and bottom rails. The hole 

for the jack pin is exactly in the centre of the bottom rail to ensure it 
lifts evenly and is marked with a small hole on the front of the shaft.

  

Do not use this hole for a hook.

 

  Fit one 

Harness Hook

 into the top rail and the bottom rail of each shaft 

and secure by pressing a 

3/32 Dome Cap

 onto the hook. It is easier to do 

this by supporting the hook on a corner of a table and pressing firmly 
on the dome cap. Tap gently with a hammer if necessary.

 NOTE:

 There are 4 spare dome caps for future use. Store them in a safe 

place.  

Spread the heddles evenly either side 
of the Harness Hook and then clip the 
stainless steel rods over the hooks. The 
hooks prevent the bars from sagging 
when being raised or pulling out when 
the warp is being advanced.

23. Wipe the stainless steel bars with a clean cloth to remove any 

protective grease. Your Ashford 8 Shaft Jack Loom has been supplied 
with Texsolv Heddles. Each bundle contains 100 heddles which enable 
you to use 100 per shaft.

  Take a bundle of heddles

 (DO NOT REMOVE THE PINK TIES).

  Thread 2 round steel bars through the holes in a shafts, through the 

gaps in the top and bottom of the bundles and into the holes in the 
other end of the shaft. Then push 

M11 Rubber Buffers

 into the oval holes 

in the outside of the shaft to lock the steel rods in place. 

 

NOTE:

 Ensure the 

M11 Rubber Buffers

 are pushed right to the bottom of 

the holes so they do not protrude or drag on the nylon guides.

 

THEN

 remove the ties and spread the heddles evenly either side of the 

centre hole. 

  The heddles can be used as is or can be cut with sharp scissors. Only 

cut after the heddles have been loaded onto the steel rods.
