The Texsolv cord is adjustable in length by
12 mm steps (ca.1/2”), according to the loops.
For fine adjustment, plastic pegs are used,
inserted into the loops of the cord. Each peg
through the cord will shorten it about 1.5 mm
(1/16”). You will not need more than 7 pegs in
a cord, because with 8 pegs the cord becomes
one cord loop shorter and you can just as well
shorten the cord one loop. In hardware bag 3
are 50 spare pegs.
It is a bit hard to insert a peg when the cord is tight. You can release the tension of the cord by
taking it off from a roller or by disconnecting the cord end.
In some of the pictures in these instructions you see wooden pins; we used these in the past to
shorten the cord.
Marks
The uprights of the middle part of the loom are marked (A and B) at the location where they should
be connected to the corresponding marked sides of the top side rails. This is to prevent you from
making the mistake of assembling the parts backwards or upside down.
Tools
All hardware parts of Louët products are metric. To facilitate assembly, we have included a set of
metric wrenches and a Pozidrive 2 cross head screwdriver (not a Phillips head).
