Squaring The Completed Frame
Now that you have completely assembled the Loom Frame, it is time to
make sure that the frame is square and level.
Please make a note of this process, as it is an important part of the
maintenance of your loom. Your loom will perform better and give more
years of service if this process becomes a part of your regular loom
maintenance.
1)
Using a tape measure, note these measurements:
a.
The distance from the inside corner of the Rear Left Vertical
(5L) to the inside corner of the Front Right Vertical (2R).
b.
The distance from the inside corner of the Rear Right Vertical
(5R) to the inside corner of the Front Left Vertical (2L).
2)
These two measurements should match. If they do not, you will
need to adjust the frame slightly, by pushing and pulling at the
corners, until they do match. The Frame will then be square.
3)
Now, using a level, check the verticals at the corners and the cross
pieces at bottom and top. Depending on the flooring, you may need
to use shims under the four corner verticals in order to achieve
level.
4)
Once the loom is square and level, check and tighten all bolts and
nuts that connect the frame pieces.
Over time, due to the shaking and movement the loom experiences during
use, these connections will shake loose, requiring periodic checking and
tightening. Make a check of these components a regular part of your loom
maintenance.

Install The Harness Pulley Support Assembly
1)
Locate the harness pulley support assembly. It is made of two
pieces of wood (Parts #21 and #22), a little wider than your loom,
held together by three sets of pulleys, two sets of which are close
to one end. The entire assembly is held together by shipping wrap
