EMBERS
In the next phase of assembly, you'll hang various cross members between
the side frames. As you progress, the loom frame will become sturdier and
free-standing. Be sure to move the frame to its final position before it
becomes too heavy. A 12' Rug Loom can weigh as much as 2300 lbs (1045
kgs). Moving the steel beams into place is heavy work, especially for the
wider looms, and we recommend that you have plenty of help at hand at
that point.
Lower Back
1)
Find the box containing the cross members and remove and
organize its contents. Note that the cross members have part
names instead of numbers.
2)
Locate the cross member hardware pack. Sort and verify its
contents.
3)
Move the left side frame into position and lay it on the floor with
the access holes facing up. The short, round-topped, vertical
member is at the front of the loom.
4)
Bring the Lower Back to the loom and place it on the floor with
the access holes facing what will be the front of the loom.

5)
Use two 3/8" x 4" hex bolt assemblies (bolt/lock washer/flat
washer/ square nut) to secure the left end of the Lower Back to
the rear of the left side frame. Snug the bolts down, but do not
tighten.
