Setting The Home Position
Before you use the E-Lift II, you must set the “home” or neutral position:
1)
Turn off the E-Lift II power switch. Unwind the cord on the Motor
Box Pulley and bring the Dobby Slide Plate to its upper most
position.
2)
Rewind the Motor Pulley Cord, making sure the Dobby Slide Plate
remains approximately 1/4” above the ball on the rear most Dobby
Cable. Turn on the E-Lift II power switch.
You have now set your Home Position and may start to weave!
Selection Of Single Or Double Action Mode
The E-Lift II is programmed with two modes: Double- or Single-Shed
selection.
The Double-Shed™ mode completes every lifting cycle with the shed open.
For example, assume you’ve just completed a shot and the shed is still open.
You depress the foot switch and the shed closes, the Dobby advances to the
next pick, and the shed opens — all as a single continuous movement. You’ll
very quickly develop a rhythm and will find there’s ample time to beat while
the shed is transitioning between Open-Close-Open.
In Single-Shed mode, you activate the foot switch once to open the shed
and again to close the shed. In other words, you achieve one action per
activation. If you wish to use the Single-Shed mode, hold down the foot
pedal for 10 seconds.
We suggest you turn off the loom with the shed closed to avoid the
harnesses crashing. When you are done weaving, hold down the foot pedal
for 10 seconds to switch to single shed mode and close the shed.
