– 5 –
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 5A). Repeat across the cloth beam
and the warp beam.
12.
To attach the apron bar to the apron
cords, take a pinch of the cord about
4" from the end (Figure 5B). Insert the
pinched cord through the second hole in
the cord. Pull on the pinched cord until
a new loop forms that is large enough
for the apron bar to slip through (Figure
5C). Slide the apron bar through the loop
(Figure 5D) and pull tight. Repeat until all
cords are attached to the apron bar. Attach
the other apron bar to its beam in the
same way.
INSTALLING THE HEDDLES
13.
Remove the shafts from the loom
by removing the rubber rings and
unscrewing the small hex nuts from the
jack pins (Figure 6). Pull the shaft straight
up and out of the loom. When you put the
shaft back in the loom, be sure to insert
the jack pin back into the hole and secure
it with the hex nut. Replacing the rubber
ring is optional.
14.
Lay the shaft on a flat surface. Lay two
heddle bars next to the heddles. Carefully
slide a group of heddles onto the heddle
bars. Fit one end of each heddle bar into
one of the slots in the shaft frame. Using
very gentle pressure, flex the heddle
bar just enough to fit the other end into
the slot on the opposing side of the shaft
frame. Push approximately half of the
heddles to each end of the shaft.
15.
Put the shaft back in the loom and
secure the jack pin with the hex nut.
Repeat for the other shafts. Be sure to
keep the heddles oriented in the same
direction for easier threading.
INSTALLING THE TIE-UP CORDS
There is one tie-up cord for every lamm
hole. On the 8.10, the two outermost holes
on each lamm have metal inserts; thread
