screwdriver. Repeat for the other height
extender block. Set the rear leg brace
and attached height extender blocks at
the rear of the loom. You may want to
elevate the inside loom legs on books or
wood blocks too.
6.
Attach the LO height extender block
to the left outside leg: insert a 1/4-20
x 1" Phillips pan head machine screw
from the inner side of the leg through its
bottom hole (hole [A], Figure 2), then
through the hole with the threaded insert
on the height extender block (3rd hole
from the bottom). Tighten this screw
firmly. Repeat this step for the RO height
extender and right outside leg.
7.
Finish attaching the LO height
extender: insert a 1-3/4" Phillips truss
head machine screw from the inner side
of the leg through the top hole (hole [B],
Figure 2), then through the top hole of
the height extender block. Secure the
screw from the outer side of the height
extender block with a 1/4" washer and
1/4-20 lock nut.
8.
Re-attach the brake release pedal to
the right outside leg with the new 3/8"
x 3-1/2" hex bolt and the hardware you
removed in Step 3. Work from the outer
side of the loom using the top hole of the
right outside leg (hole [B], Figure 2).
Attach parts in this order: bolt, washer,
brake release pedal, washer, spacer,
washer, RO height extender block, right
outside leg, washer, lock nut. Tighten the
lock nut firmly, then loosen it slightly so
the brake release pedal can pivot. Replace
the brake cord and arrow peg to their
original positions.
9.
From the front of the loom, detach all
tie-up cords. Remove the machine screws
and the 1/4-20 barrel nuts holding the
treadle support from the hole closest to
the floor (Figure 4, page 4). Set aside the
barrel nuts for Step 14. Spread the inside
legs apart and remove the treadle support.
If you purchased the Wolf Pup 8.10
loom with Height Extender, skip to
Step 14.
10.
There are two kinds of treadles on the
Wolf Pup 8.10: outside treadles (
OT
) have
metal eyebolts screwed in to them and
inside treadles (
IT
) have a slot cut into
them. Identify the new inside and outside
extended treadles.
11.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver,
remove the 3 screws attaching the treadle
blocks (
TB
) to the treadle support (Figure
5). Remove the metal treadle bar from the
treadle support. Remove all parts from
the metal treadle bar, saving the plastic
spacers (
PS
), treadle blocks (
TB
), and
wooden spacers (
WS
) for the next step.
12.
Install the new height extender
treadles on to the metal treadle bar with
the parts saved from Step 11. Parts go in
the following order (from left to right of
the loom front, shown in Figure 5, page 4):
PS, OT, WS, IT, WS, IT, TB, IT, WS, IT, TB,
IT, WS, IT, TB, IT, WS, IT, WS, OT, PS.
13.
Re-attach the metal treadle bar to the
treadle support by screwing the treadle
blocks back into the treadle support.
14.
Attach the height extender blocks to
the treadle assembly: insert the metal
pins from the treadle support (Figure
6, page 4) into the small holes and the
metal treadle bar ends into the 2nd hole
from the bottom of the height extender
blocks. Insert the saved barrel nuts into
the treadle support and thread new 1/4-
20 x 2-1/2" Phillips truss head machine
screws into them, from the outer side of
the height extender blocks through the
bottom holes. Use a slotted screwdriver to
