Install The Lower (Secondary) Warp Beam
1)
Locate your Warp Beam and the axle pockets located on the front
edge of the Rear Verticals.
2)
Loosen the little bolts that hold the flat beam retainers over the two
pockets.
3)
Swing the retainers aside and position the Beam in place.
4)
When using the lower position, place the handle at the right side of
the loom. Place the left side of the beam into the retainer pocket
first. Rotate the retainer back down.
5)
Place the long spacer on the non-brake side of the warp beam.
6)
Place the short spacer on the brake side of the warp beam.
7)
Since there is not much room for the lower beam, it is easiest if you
add the tension cable before placing the right side of the beam in
the pocket. Hold the right side of the beam slightly above the floor.
Mount the Tension System
Note:
Once you install the tension cable, you will only need to remove it if you
remove the beam.
1)
The tension motor is already installed on the side frame. The motor
on the dobby side is for the lower beam.
2)
The cable for the tension system is attached to the motor. Remove
the twist tie.
3)
Bring the cable immediately down and around the bottom of the
Brake Drum. Start on the side closest to the beam. Wrap the cable
around the Brake Drum; it will pass under the drum three times.
Take care
not
to cross the cable on itself.
