6)
Push the beater all the way back and tighten the back screws most
of the way.
Note:
You may need to perform this back and forth action several times, making
minor adjustments as you go. The point, of course, is to put the Beater Slide
Axles in exact parallel.
7)
Once you have the beater completely square front and back,
tighten the screws down completely.
When you’re finished, the beater should slide easily along the full length of
its travel.

II
The E-Lift II replicates the action of treadling. When you activate the foot
switch, the motor turns and selected harnesses rise or fall. The motion is
smooth, quick, and precise and does not jar the harnesses.
In Install The E-Lift Supports And Spring Anchor on page 27 you installed
the Interior Cross members #19 and #20, along with the Harness Spring
Support (see Figure 3-11). There are some hardware and smaller parts
secured to these Cross Members. These are the e-lift supports.
Install The E-Lift II Motor Box
1)
From the packaging, remove the black E-Lift Motor Box and the
hardware bag.
2)
Place the Motor Box beneath parts #19 and #20, orienting it so the
electrical switch face the back of the loom, the small circular plug is
to the front, and the four holes in the top plate of the Motor Box
align with the matching holes in the wooden Support Blocks.
Note:
As the Motor Box is quite heavy, you may wish to put something under the
Motor Box to hold the top plate flush with the bottom of both wooden Support
Blocks.
3)
Take the four 5/16 x 2” hex bolts, with lock washers and square
nuts from the hardware pack. Remove the square nuts from the
bolts.
