Adjust the cords so they are taut and
so that the metal guide on the reversing
disk is horizontal.
There is some play in the position of
this guide, but it is important that the
average position is horizontal. Check
as follows:
You pick up the guide on the left side
and while you move it up and down,
you look for the free play. If the free
play above the horizontal position on
the left is greater than below, you have
to tighten the bottom cord of the
reversing disk.
Conversely, you have to tighten the upper cord if the left side of the guide has greater free
play below the horizontal position.
Of course, tightening one cord has the same effect on the disk position as loosening the
other cord. If the cords have the proper tension, you can adjust the position of the disk by
screwing one of the knurled nuts towards the tip of the hook and unscrewing the other the
same number of turns.
8. Attaching the treadle to the reversing disk
Attach the spring onto the hook at the
top of the front post and slide the other
end of the spring to one side of the
guide. On that side the spring will pull
up the guide a bit, due to the play in the
disk.
Attach the cord of the spring to the eye
of the treadle by means of the hook
and the knurled nut. The washer should
be placed in between the eye and the
nut. Tighten the knurled
nut until the
guide is pulled exactly in a horizontal
position.
Now if you slide the spring to the other
side, the guide will be kept in a
horizontal position too.
If you have carried out the last steps of these instructions correctly, the dobby mechanism
will make a quarter turn when you push in the treadle, and it will reverse direction when you
slide the spring to the other side of the guide.
