When you’re weaving, the crank should
be pushed off of the cap nut. To engage
the crank for turning the warp beam, pull
the hexagonal hole in the crank onto the
cap nut.
ATTACHING APRON BARS
For cherry Wolf looms, see the special
instructions for attaching the apron bars.
11.
There is one cord for each hole in the
cloth and warp beams. Insert one end of a
cord through a hole in the beam and pull
the cord through. Then insert the other
end through the second hole in the end
of the cord that you just put through the
beam. Pull firmly on the cord to tighten
(Figure 3A). Repeat across the cloth beam
and the warp beam.
4.
Continue holding onto the front and
rear beams and allow the loom to unfold
all the way. If there is a warp on the loom,
you may need to hold down the brake
release pedal with your foot to loosen the
warp as you unfold the loom.
5.
When the loom has completely
opened, push the fold knobs down to the
bottom of the slots in the castle. Tighten
the knobs. You can push in the slide lock
bars to get them out of the way.
FOLDING THE LOOM
6.
To prevent treadles from dragging on
the floor when the loom is folded, attach
every treadle to at least one tie-up cord.
7.
Start folding the loom: Make sure the
slide lock bars are pulled out all the way.
Loosen the fold knobs one full turn and
pull them up in their slots.
8.
With one hand on the rear beam and
one hand on the front beam, push the
loom together as far as it will go.
9.
Tighten the fold knobs. Push the slide
lock bars in towards the front of the loom.
ATTACHING THE WARP BEAM
CRANK HANDLE
10.
The warp beam crank handle attaches
to a threaded rod on the inside right leg
(Figure 2). Locate the washer, cap nut,
and the warp beam crank handle in the
accessory pack. Place the 3/8" washer and
then the metal handle on the rod, with the
wooden handle facing out. Secure with the
the 3/8" cap nut.
