DJUSTMENTS
Congratulations on your purchase of the AVL Air Shuttle system. We hope it
provides you years of productive weaving. You may have either a one-box
air shuttle or a four-box air shuttle.
Installation of the Air Shuttle occurs after the installation and proper
adjustment of the Beater as the Beater height adjustment affects the Air
Shuttle adjustment.
Before proceeding with the Air Shuttle installation, please install the Beater
as described in the Rug Loom Manual provided with your loom. Ensure that
the Beater height is adjusted to allow a taut warp thread to rest lightly upon
the Beater Race. See page 26 for complete instructions.
To Install the Air Shuttle Assembly
The Air Shuttle system contains two major components: the left and
right Shuttle Boxes.
It also contains several minor components, including pneumatics, firing
switch (or foot pedal), and beater location sensor. Depending on the options
you requested, it may include a control box or a power box.
1) Attach the Air Shuttle Control Box or power box to the right side
of the loom using the hardware provided.
2) Attach the pneumatic hoses to the manifold. The hoses will either
be color or numerically coded to guide you. The longer set of
hoses will attach to the left side Air Shuttle Picker Cylinder. Route
the hoses to their approximate locations on either side of the
Beater. The left side will be routed along the Spring Lever Support
Cross member.
3) The firing switch may be attached to the beater or handheld. In
either case, make sure the wiring for the switch is routed through
the loom to the correct location.
4) Attach the left-side Air Shuttle Box to the left side of the loom
using the hardware (three bolts and washers) provided. The bolts
should be left hand-tight as you will shortly be adjusting the
boxes.
