These two measurements should match. If they do not, you will
need to adjust the frame slightly, by pushing and pulling at the
corners, until they do match. The frame will then be square.

Now, using a level, check the verticals at the corners and the cross
pieces at bottom and top. Depending on the flooring, you may need
to use shims under the four corner verticals in order to achieve
level.
4)
Once the loom is square and level, check and tighten all bolts and
nuts that connect the frame pieces.
Over time, due to the shaking and movement the loom experiences during
use, these connections will shake loose, requiring periodic checking and
tightening. Make a check of these components a regular part of your loom
maintenance.

It’s time to add the Harness Cables and Harnesses to your loom. The
harnesses for this loom consist of rigid wooden frames which hold metal
rods. The metal rods are removable and will hold your heddles. The loom
can use either metal heddles or polyester heddles. The loom comes with
enough cable retainers to place on the bottom cables only.
Note:
The Compu-Dobby is secured with zip ties and the rod holding the weights in
place. This helps hold the cables for the harnesses in the correct location.
DO NOT remove the zip ties or the rod until the harnesses have been
installed.
About the Harness Frames
The frames will take time and patience to install, however once they are
installed, they will not need to be removed. The harness frames are
packaged together for shipping. A sticker on the top harness will indicate the
top and front of your harnesses.
