Normally, the IDL is setup by an AVL technician. Depending on the
circumstances of your particular installation, you may need to provide some
additional setup.
Square and Level the Loom
Please make a note of this process, as it is an important part of the
maintenance of your loom. Your loom will perform better and give more
years of service if this process becomes a part of your regular loom
maintenance.
1) Using a tape measure, note these measurements:
a. The distance from the inside corner of the rear left vertical to
the inside corner of the front right vertical.
b. The distance from the inside corner of the rear right vertical
to the inside corner of the front left vertical.
2) These two measurements should match. If they do not, you will
need to adjust the frame slightly.
3) Now, using a level, check to see if the frame is level front-to-back,
place a carpenter’s level along the top of each Top horizontal.
4) Check side-to-side by placing the level along the length of the Cloth
beam and, again, along the Lower back framing member.
5) Depending on the flooring, you may need to use shims under the
four corner verticals in order to achieve level.
6) Once the loom is square and level, check and tighten all bolts and
nuts that connect the frame pieces.
