INSTALLING THE WHEELS
19.
Skip this step if you will install a stroller
on your loom.
With the loom unfolded,
install the wheels. Use two 1/4-20 x 1-1/2"
Phillips truss head machine screws and
two 1/4-20 lock nuts to attach each wheel
to the rear leg brace.
INSTALLING THE TREADLE
TRACKER
20.
With the clip on the treadle tracker
facing the front of the loom, insert the
treadle tracker into the slot in the top of
the rear castle cross brace.
ADJUSTING THE BEATER
21.
The height of your beater has been
set at the factory to accommodate most
weaving situations. If you want to raise
or lower the beater, loosen the two nuts
on the inside of each of the metal beater
supports. Position the beater at the
desired height and tighten the nuts. Be
sure that you have set both beater sides at
the same height.
USING THE BEATER PIN
22.
The small metal pin attached to the
inside right leg holds the beater upright
during warping. Leave the beater pin in its
holder when you’re weaving or folding the
loom (Figure 13A). To engage the pin for
warping, align the hole in the right inside
leg with the slot in the right outside leg.
Insert the pin through the hole and into
the slot (Figure 13B).
REMOVING THE BACK BEAM
23.
The back beam can be removed for
better access to the heddles when you
thread the loom. Loosen the back beam
knobs on each side of the back beam and
lift the beam out (Figure 14). To replace
the back beam, slide the beam back into
the legs and tighten the knobs.
When you move the loom, be sure to
lift it using the cloth and warp beams,
not the front and back beams.
