Install heddles on the shafts.
Parts: 8 shafts, 16 heddle bars, 800 heddles.
Lay a shaft on a flat surface. Carefully slide a heddle bar
into the open loops at the top and bottom of heddles. Keep
the heddles loosely tied until the heddle bars are installed
in the shaft frame. Be sure to keep the heddles oriented in
the same direction for easier threading. (Figure 13-A)
Replace the heddle bars in the shaft frame. Insert one end
of each heddle bar in the slots on the inner sides of the
frame. Flex each heddle bar and insert the other end into
its slot. (Figure 13-B)
Divide the heddles approximately in half and push them to
either end of the heddle bar. (Figure 13-C)
Repeat for the other shafts.
