Using two 2” round-headed screws no 14, affix the breast
back beam to the back posts.
Join the front “S” hook of the brake lever to the brake loop cord so the tension on the spring will be
high enough to lock the warp beam while weaving.
The warp beam should turn with some friction clockwise (while standing at the right side
of the loom near the brake system) and this is the warping rotation. However, you should always
release the tension on the friction brake system by disconnecting the spring from the loop cord (S
hook) when you are warping the loom.
To advance the fabric when weaving, depress the brake treadle just enough to release the
warp beam. Depressing the brake treadle too far may cause the brake cable to come off the brake
drum.
Join the brake treadle to the S Hook in the back of the Brake Lever. Adjust the length so the bake
treadle is at the comfortable height Make a double knot at the brake treadle eye.
