6. When the Spring Lever Return Cable is in place, refer to Pages 5 and 10 of your
Compu-Dobby Manual for re-installation, and Page 21 for Adjustment procedure.
Installation of the Spring Lever Return Cable (continued) - Note the opening in the
Dobby Arm through which the Left Treadle Cable is attached. Remove the old cable by
pushing down on the cable until the plastic cable retainer button falls from the bottom of
dobby arm. Save the plastic cable retainer button for later. Remove the old Cable from
the Dobby Arm by pulling it up through the dobby arm.
From the top side of the Dobby Arm, insert the new cable through the hole in the
Dobby Arm, previously used by the Left Treadle Cable and secure it with the plastic
cable retainer button saved from the old cable removal. Route the cable over the top of
the Dobby Box Pulley, from left to right, and under the cable retainer. Guide the cable
behind the Dobby Bar, down the outside of the loom, and around the bottom of the Lever
Pulley (formerly the Left Treadle Pulley). Connect the looped end of the cable to the
Spring Lever, using the Eyehook located at the tip of the Lever.
Check to see that the cable is running in a direct line from the right side of the
Dobby Box pulley straight down to the Lever Pulley and on over to the Lever. Loosen
the stop collars to either side of the Pulley and adjust the position as needed.
5b) The Cam-Motor Pulley Cable – Check to be sure the Dobby Arm is in the Up
Position before proceeding. Unwrap the cable from the 6 inch diameter wooden Cam.
Guide the cable down and around the bottom of the Cam, over to the Pulley located on
top of the Motor Box. Bring the cord around the left, front side of the Motor Pulley.
Insert its end into the hole you see at the base of the Pulley and lock the crimp in the hole
with the hitch pin.
(Note: do not use the hole located at the top of the Pulley).
Turn the
Pulley clockwise, while starting at the bottom, winding on and taking up all of the slack.
Do not allow the winding to overlap.
The two cables on the Cam/Cylinder Assembly need to align directly with their
respective anchor points. The Dobby Arm Cable must run vertically from the Dobby
Arm to the Cylinder and the Cam/Motor Pulley cable needs to run in a direct line from
the Cam to the Motor Pulley on the top of the E-Lift II+ Motor Box. In order to
accomplish this, with the respective stop collars loosened, slide the Cam and Pulley into
place along the Axle and tighten the Stop Collars.
6)
Connect the Foot Switch Cord and the Power Cord
– (See Figure #1a, 1b) Connect
the Foot Switch Cord to the front of the E-Lift II+. Connect the female end of the Power
Cord at the back of the housing (be sure it is completely, firmly inserted). Turn off the E-
Lift Power Switch. Plug the male end of the Power Cord into a surge-protected power
strip or directly into a wall plug.
