Install Harness Assemblies And Springs
It’s time to add the Harness Cables, Harnesses, and Harness Springs to your
loom. If you ordered your loom with Texsolv heddles, you’ll need to
assemble your harnesses now. Please follow the directions below. You may
wish to save space by mounting the Harness Frames as they are completed.
If your loom is equipped with metal heddles, proceed immediately to step
#1 of the harness installation instructions.
Make Texsolv Harness Assemblies
1)
Locate the harness parts:
Harness Sticks
1 top & 1 bottom per harness
Harness Wires
2 per harness
Texsolv Heddles
50 per harness
Harness Cables
1 with multiple ends per harness
Harness Springs 2 per harness
2)
The sticks are divided into two groups: top and bottom sticks. The
hooks on the top sticks are closer to the center. The hooks in the
bottom sticks, are closer to the edges.
3)
Select one top and one bottom stick. Lay them on a table top
parallel to one another, about 12” apart. Orient them so that the
hooks point away from the opposite stick.
Note:
We provide 50 heddles per harness with your loom. Additional heddles can
be purchased from us if needed. Our heddles are bundled in batches of 100.
4)
Thread heddles onto the harness sticks and move them to the
center.
5)
Select two harness wires and slide one through the end hole of the
top stick so that the copper fitting at the end of the harness wire is
at the top. Insert the blank end of the wire through the end hole of
the bottom stick.
