In the same way install the foot rail on the
front of the loom, between the front uprights.
For this there are 4 holes for the screws in
each upright (this is different than on the
picture).
The foot rail can be installed at two different
heights, depending on the length of the legs
of the weaver. For most weavers the lower
position of the foot rail will be preferred.
The frame of the Octado is complete and
now you have to tighten the cap nuts of the
connection between the right side rail and
the castle. The sawhorses or table is not
required anymore and can be removed.
3. Assembly of the back part with warp beam and the treadle
Slide the brake disk onto the longest one
of the protruding shaft of the warp beam;
the sides marked Q must face each other.
Attach the brake disk with four 5 x 40 mm
screws and make sure the screws are
tight.
Take the two vertical posts of the back part
out of box B. You can recognize these
posts by the two holes with ball bearings.
The right hand vertical post has a hole for
the longer shaft of the warp beam to go
through. Attach to this vertical post the
attachment bolt for the brake cable: Insert
the carriage bolt m6 x 40 mm into the hole
near the ball bearings, so that it protrudes
at the side where the black nylon bearing
is situated besides the hole for the warp
beam axle.
Slip on a washer, the piece of nylon tube
that will center the spacer bushing, slip on
that bushing, the second washer and
tighten the cap nut.
