Attach dowel handles to the cloth
beam: Insert a dowel handle through the
end of the cloth beam, aligning the holes.
Secure the handle with a 3/8" Phillips
truss head sheet metal screw. Repeat at
the other end of the cloth beam with a
second dowel handle and 3/8" Phillips
truss head sheet metal screw.
6.
Attach the cross brace: Set the cross
brace between the bases, aligning the
holes. From the outer side of the loom,
insert a #8 x 1-1/4" Phillips truss head
sheet metal screw through the base and
tighten it loosely into the cross brace.
Repeat with the remaining 1-1/4" sheet
metal screws. Make sure the loom and
bases will sit level on a work surface, then
fully tighten all 4 screws and the 4 plastic
knobs holding the base to the loom.

Remove hardware from the top beam:
Unscrew the 1/4-20 x 2" Phillips truss
head machine screw holding the top beam
to the left upright; a 1/4-20 barrel nut will
fall out (Figure 7). You will not need the
screw for the beam kit, but will use the
barrel nut in the next step.
8.
Attach the left warp beam riser: Orient
the left warp beam riser with the ratchet
dog on the inner side of the loom and
holes aligned with holes in the left upright
(Figure 8). Insert a 1/4-20 x 1-1/4" Phillips
truss head machine screw into the lower
hole of the riser and into the left upright.
Tighten the screw into the upright. Hold
the barrel nut from Step 7 in the left end
of the top beam as you insert a 1/4-20 x
2-1/2" Phillips truss head machine screw
