Put the hinges into the openings in the
lower side rails.
Assemble the handle to the upper reed
holder: Slide a washer over the lag bolts
and then put them through the holes in the
upper reed holder.
Next slide another washer and a spacer
bushing over the lag bolts.
Hold the handle with the holes over the
points of the lag bolts and then tighten the
bolts so far that the spacer bushings are
tightened slightly into the handle.
Tap the carriage bolts into the holes at the
end of the upper reed holder. Support the
reed holder by putting it on the side rails of
the loom. Make sure that the handle is
facing up.
Slide the washers over the carriage bolts
and twist the wing nuts a couple of turns
onto the carriage bolt. Assemble the upper
reed holder to the uprights. Slide the
carriage bolt from the top into the slots and
insure that the washers rest under the
wing nuts and not between the upright and
the reed holder. Keep this in mind when
you change your afterwards.
Fasten the wingnuts, while you keep the
top reed holder parallel to the lower one.
You can also do this by placing a reed in
between.
Move the beater backwards, so it rests
against the buffers at the sides of the
castle frame.
