SDL IMAGES

The vast majority of SDLs made by AVL were configured with a 20” weaving width,
with a few produced with 30” weaving width. The images in this manual reflect the 20”
loom. For the 30” loom, the spring lever return and E-Lift position appear closer to the
center since the mounting of both is fixed from the right side of the loom.
