AVL looms are very customizable. This manual covers the most common
options for the Jacq3G loom. Sections which discuss options that you do not
have on your loom can be skipped. Any features on your loom that are not
covered here will come with a separate manual.

RIENTATION
The front of the loom is the side where the weaver will be positioned to
operate the loom; the back of the loom then, is where the warp beam is.
Everything in this manual, unless otherwise stated, is oriented as if you were
sitting in the weaving position. The right side of the loom is to the right of
the weaving position; and the left side of the loom then is to the left of the
weaving position. A piece marked “bottom” would, of course, go toward the
floor.
Where applicable and necessary on the images, we have included a “weaver
symbol” to help clarify the directional aspect of the image. This symbol
shows a weaver seated at the weaving bench. Remember, the symbol is
included only to help clarify the orientation of the drawing. In the example
shown, the weaver is sitting, looking toward the right of the page. That
would indicate that the front of the loom is to the left of the page and the
rear of the loom to the right. If the arrow were pointing left, then the rear of
the loom is to the left.

ARTS
The following two pictures offer a guide to the parts of the loom. You may
want to remove these pages from the manual so that you can easily refer to
them as you put together the loom. Study all the images carefully and make
certain that your assembly looks like the one in the drawings as you
assemble your loom.
