Work from the front lamm to the rear
lamm for each treadle. Loop one end
of the tie-up cord through the lamm as
illustrated. Slip the cord through the slot
in the treadle. The tie-up cord should hang
straight down to the treadle, not angled
forward or back. After you have tied up
all treadles, push each treadle all the way
to the floor and then lift it back up. Make
sure that the plastic buttons of the tie-up
cords are positioned firmly against the
treadle.
ADJUSTING BEATER HEIGHT
The height of the beater has been set at
the factory to suit the average weaver for
most projects. If you want to raise or lower
the beater, loosen the two nuts on the
inside of each of the metal beater supports
(Figure 7). Position the beater at the
desired height and tighten the nuts. Be
sure that you have set both beater sides at
the same height.
REMOVING SHAFTS ON HIGH
CASTLE LOOMS
To remove the shafts from the castle,
you must first remove the accessory tray
from the top of the castle. It is attached
by two bolts accessible from inside the
tray, at either side of the loom. Use a
7/16" wrench to remove these bolts and
their washers. Lift the tray straight up to
remove it. You may need to give it a tap
with a rubber mallet from underneath.
(If you do not have a rubber mallet, you
can use a hammer with a block of wood
to protect the loom from the hammer).
Be sure to tighten the bolts after the tray
is put back on, as they add to the loom’s
stability.
INSTALLING THE TIE-UP CORDS
There is one tie-up cord for every lamm
hole: 80 for 36" looms and 96 for 45"
looms. For 36" looms, and for the 10
innermost treadles on 45" looms, loop one
end of each tie-up cord through a hole in
the lamm. For the 2 outermost treadles on
45" looms, the tie-up cords are inserted
through the hollow pin at the end of each
lamm (Figure 6).
