Slide the bundle of heddles onto the
shaft bar, replace the shaft side into the
groove, reinsert the bent end into its
hole, and replace the cord into the
groove.
Remove the two ties that hold the top
part of the heddles.
To install the heddles onto the lower
shaft bar, we recommend placing the
shaft in a higher position:
If the chain of program bars is installed
onto the dobby head, then turn the
roller until you come to a bar without
pegs, so that no dobby hooks are
active, or turn the roller 45 degrees into
an in between position.
Push the dobby hook forward for the
shaft you want to add heddles to and
then push down the treadle to raise the
shaft.
Position a book, a box or another
object between the lifted upper shaft
bar and the remaining ones to keep the
shaft up when you release the treadle.
Now open the shaft at the bottom and
slide the heddles onto the shaft bar.
Close the shaft again by putting the shaft side back into the shaft bar.
Remove the bottom two ties off the heddles and let the shaft bar go down by removing the
object that supported it.
Removing heddles should be done in the reverse sequence. Remember to tie them first. If
you are used to threading the warp from left to right, make sure you have a sufficient number
of heddles on each shaft. If you run short of heddles, it is much more difficult to add heddles
on the right side of the loom than on the left.
Blocking the brake pedal during the beaming-up of the warp
When you are beaming the warp, the brake pedal should be depressed or blocked in the
down position using the hook that hangs on the eye of the brake pedal.
