REMOVING THE BACK BEAM
The back beam can be removed for
better access to the heddles while thread-
ing the loom. Loosen the beam knobs
on either side of the back beam, and lift
the beam out. To replace the back beam,
slide the beam back into the legs, and
tighten the black knobs.
When moving the loom, be sure
to lift it using the cloth and warp
beams, not the front and back
beams.
INSTALL THE TREADLE TRACKER.
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.

BEATER ADJUSTMENT
The height of your beater has been set
at the factory to accommodate most weav-
ing situations. However, it can be adjusted
up or down. To raise or lower the beater,
loosen the two nuts on the inside of each
side of the metal beater pivot. Hold the
beater at the desired height and retighten
the two nuts on one side and then the two
nuts on the other side. Be sure that you
have raised or lowered each side of the
beater by the same amount.
BEATER PIN
The small metal pin attached to the
right inside leg is used to hold the
beater upright during warping. Push
the pin through the hole in the leg and
then through the slot in the beater side.
Remove the beater pin before weaving or
before folding the loom.
Be sure to pull out the beater pin
and replace it in its holder before
weaving and before folding the
loom.
