Installation Work
2.2.1
Positioning of the Weaving Machine
Before carrying the weaving machine into the weaving room, it is recommended that you remove the
wooden frame (located at the bottom of the weaving machine) outside the weaving room. This is
because it may be impossible to remove the lower wooden frame due to the limited space inside the
room.
Lift down the weaving machine from the forklift at the specified installation position and place the
machine with bars exactly according to the reference lines and markings on the floor.
2.2.2
Jobs to be Done before Securing the Legs of the Weaving Machine
(1) Remove the rust-preventive paper and plastic bags from the machine.
(2) Take off the cloth roller and dropper bar from the machine and carry them to the specified place.
(3) Install the beam curtain, warp arrangement springs, and signal indicator to the specified positions.
(4) Wipe off oil from the back roller, easing roller, dropper box, and side frames.
(5) Check the quantity of the accessories according to the packing list.
2.2.3
Installation
[ 1 ] Levelling the weaving machine
(1) Place levels 3 on side frames 1 and rocking
shaft 2 as shown at left, and check the level-
ness of the machine lengthwise and cross-
wise.
The allowable irregularity in the machine level-
ness is one increment of the level and no warp
is allowed.
TIP: An irregularity of 0.5 mm/m in the level-
ness will register as one increment off in the
level window.
Before starting the carrying-in and installation of weaving machines, be sure to read Chapter S.
SAFETY and observe the instructions given there.
When a weaving machine exposed to cold out-
door atmosphere is brought into a warm indoor
location, all machine parts will be covered with
condensed water droplets. This condensation
will cause immediate rust due to oxidation of
the metal surfaces.
Bring the machine indoors and leave it in its
packed state for a while until it reaches room
temperature.
ATTENTION
•
When two or more workers are to handle a
job, they must always communicate through
words or gestures before starting the job.
•
When inserting fiber packings between the
machine's feet and the floor or removing
them during levelling work, never let fingers
get beneath the feet.
