UNFOLDING THE BACK BEAM
When you receive your loom, the back
beam will be folded up against the castle.
It is fastened in position with a black fold
knob that passes through the back beam
brace and fastens into a metal insert in
the castle side. To extend the beam for
weaving, remove the fold knobs and
their nylon washers from both sides of
the loom. Hold on to the back beam and
ease it back until the hole at the end of
the brace lines up with the insert in the
castle. Thread a fold knob through a nylon
washer, insert it into the hole, and tighten.
Line up the other brace and secure it
in the same way. Your loom is now in
weaving position.
ATTACHING THE WARP BEAM
CRANK HANDLE
The warp beam crank handle attaches to
a threaded rod on the right back leg of
the loom (Figure 1). 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
threaded rod with the wooden handle
facing out. Secure with the 3/8" cap nut.
Tighten the nut by placing the handle
over it and turning clockwise. To engage
the crank for turning the warp beam, pull
the hex agonal hole in the crank onto the
cap nut. While you are weaving, the crank
should be pushed off the cap nut onto the
threaded rod.
