INSTALL THE BEATER PEGS
Loosen the wing nuts holding the top
of the beater, and remove the beater top.
Remove the reed from the beater. Install
1/4-20 x 2” screw through 1” black spacer
and beater outer side. Use #12 washer and
thin lock nut to secure screw on inside of
beater frame. After the pegs are installed,
remove the string tying the beater to the
castle.
ATTACHING THE APRON BARS
There is one cord for each hole in the
cloth and warp beams. Insert one end of a
cord through a hole in the beam and pull
the cord through. Then insert the other
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
(A). Repeat across the cloth beam and the
warp beam.
To attach the apron bar to the apron
cords, take a pinch of the cord about 4"
from the end (B). 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 (C). Slide the apron
bar through the loop (D) 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.
