1. 

Remove the left leg from the loom: 

Unscrew the two round plastic knobs that 

hold the leg and foldable extension to the 

left upright, as shown in Figure 1. (Leave 

the leg extension knob in place; there’s 

no need to disassemble the foldable 

extension.) Remove the 3/8" USS metal 

washers from the knobs but keep the 

T-nut slides in place for the next step. You 

can store the metal washers and the leg.
