Operating the Loom

PERATING THE

OOM

The loom can be operated either in Manual or Automatic mode. Automatic
mode will be the mode you use most often for weaving. Manual Loom
Control should be used for testing, or correcting a problem. You should put

the loom into Manual Control anytime you are making adjustments or
corrections to the loom.

Manual Loom Control

In this mode, you will need to push a button on the hand control for each

action you want to perform.

Switch on the Compu-Dobby. Load the pattern you want to use. For

testing the loom, load a plain weave pattern.

Set the

AUTO/MANUAL

control on the Control box to MANUAL.

Load your shuttles into the shuttleboxes, pushing them all the way
against the picker. To test the loom, load an empty shuttle into box

#2.

At the Control box, turn the

TURN ON/PUSH OFF

button

clockwise. The loom is now operational.

Using the hand control that connects to the Control box, depress

the

ADVANCE

button once:

the Cloth Beam rotates a degree or so

Depress the

DOBBY

button:

the harnesses lift

Depress the

SHUTTLE

button:

the shuttle shoots

When testing,

test both boxes by pressing the Shuttle button again.

Depress the

DOBBY

button:

the harnesses drop

Depress the

BEATER

button:

the beater advances

10)

Depress the

BEATER

If any of the italicized actions did NOT occur, refer to the trouble- shooting
guide at the end of the manual. If the loom appears to be

operating

satisfactorily, proceed to Automatic Loom Control.
