3)
Now, you will need to pull against the spring in order to bring the
looped end of the cable around the pulley on the lever and back
toward the right side of the loom, to anchor it at the open J-Bolt.
Note:
You can also remove the spring and replace it once the cable has been
anchored on the J-bolt.
4)
Position the pulley on the axle so that the line of the cable from the
dobby to the pulley to the spring lever is straight. The cable should
not be at a diagonal.
5)
Secure the pulley in place by tightening a stop collar on either side
of the pulley.
Return Spring Adjustment
If the slide plate does not move up to the upper slide plate bumpers, the
turn buckle on the return cable will need adjustment.
1)
Loosen the jam nut on the turnbuckle.
2)
Rotate the turnbuckle while holding the cables on each end to draw
the eye bolts in the turnbuckle closer together.
