After you have completed your tie-up,
check each treadle by pushing it all the
way to the floor and releasing it, making
sure that the button of each tie-up cord is
up against the treadle and that each cord
hangs straight down to the treadle.
There is a 1/2" round depression on the
underside of each treadle end to prevent
the tie-ups from slipping off when the
loom is folded.
ADJUSTING THE FRICTION BRAKE
The friction brake can be adjusted by
tightening or loosening the eye bolt. This
will increase or decrease the tension on
the spring, which will in turn increase or
decrease the tension on the brake bar and
the brake cable.
Always press down on the brake pedal
while you are winding on the warp or
advancing the warp on the cloth beam.
REMOVING THE BACK BEAM
The back beam can be removed for better
access to the heddles when you thread
the loom. Loosen the back beam knobs
on each side of the back beam and lift
the beam out (Figure 7). To replace the
back beam, slide it back into the legs and
tighten the knobs.
When moving the loom, be sure to lift it
using the cloth and warp beams, not the
front and back beams.
ADJUSTING THE BEATER
The height of your beater has been set at
the factory to accommodate most weaving
situations. If you want to raise or lower the
beater, loosen the two nuts on the inside of
each of the metal beater supports. Position
the beater at the desired height and
tighten the nuts. Be sure that you have set
both beater sides at the same height.
