3)
Swing the retainers aside and position the Beam in place. Bring the
warp beam into position. If you are using the upper location, orient
the beam so that the long end of the axle is to the left of the loom
(opposite the Dobby Head). When using the lower position, place
the handle at the right side of the loom.
4)
Seat the Beam in the axle pockets and, holding the Beam in place,
rotate each retainer back down, to safely secure the Beam.
5)
Locate the Warp Beam Handle and remove its hardware.
6)
Slip the handle over the protruding end of the Beam Axle. Insert
the bolt and secure with the washer and nut. Note that the handle
is connected with a carriage bolt, the head of which must fit into its
stamped recess.
Note:
Follow the same procedure to mount a second, Lower Beam. Remember, a
Sectional Beam can only be mounted in the upper location.
Installation Of The Breast Beam And Separation Beam
You will have one breast beam that can also be used to wind-on from a
tension box.
1)
To use as a breast beam, place it with the groove down in the
cutouts at the front of your loom.
2)
To use the breast beam to wind on, place it groove up in the slot in
#6&6A near the back.
You will have a separation beam for each warp beam. These are identical to
the breast beam.
