 5/32” Allen Wrench
1) Situate the slide bars so the warp is positioned in the center of the
reed. This is not a normal or desirable position during the weaving
process, as it can lead to damage of the solenoids, so care must be
taken at this step.
a. Perform a lift without a weave program. Exit Weave Mode.
b. Operate the e-Lift in Single Mode. Pedal until the slide bars
are closest together. If the loom is warped, this will seat the
warp in the center of the reed.
2) With the slide bars now in their closest proximity, you will notice
that the pulleys on the drive shaft have turned so the Socket Head
Cap Screws (SHCS) that hold the cables are facing to the rear of
the loom.
3) Release the Module springs from the lower DAS hooks.
4) Locate the cable the rises up the outside, rear edge of the Module,
up and over to the Drive Pulley. It will pass under the pulley, to the
front of the loom, before coming over the top of the pulley to be
secured under the retainer and four SHCS.
5) Using the pliers, grasp the tip of the cable that leaves the retainer,
holding tension while you loosen the four SHCS with the 5/32” allen
wrench. You do not need to remove the SHCS, simply loosen them
enough to allow movement of the cable.
6) Maintaining tension on the cable, watch the first (lowest) hook on
the Module and pull the cable until the hook clears the slide bar by
1/2” to 3/4” inch.
7) Hold the cable in this position while re-tightening the four SHCS on
the pulley.
To Remove And Replace A Solenoid Spring
No special tools are required. The entire hook will need to be removed in
order to free the plunger and provide access to the spring for replacement.
It is recommended that, either the Cloth Storage Apron or some large paper
(i.e., newspaper), be spread under the loom to catch any plungers (small) or
springs (very small) that may fall during this procedure.
