Take the two carriage bolts with washer and
wing nut and secure the back part as shown on
the picture.
When the loom is not in use, you can fold the
back part of the loom after removing the wing
nuts and washers again.
Screw the two screw eyes into the pilot holes at
the backside of the warp beam supports. If you
are used to leaving the lease sticks in the warp,
attach them to these eyelets.
Assembly of the foot rail and treadles
Open hardware bag 2:
− 80 screws 4 x 17 mm
− 4 screws 5 x 50 mm
− 6 screws 6 x 70 mm
− 5 axles Ø6 x 122 mm
− 5 nylon spacer bushings
− 6 axle support blocks
Screw the small screws into eight holes of each
treadle, so far that the screw heads protrude
approximately 5 mm (3/16”) from the wood. The
thread of the screws should just disappear into
the wood.
Use the eight holes closest to the end of the
treadle; the other four holes are to be used for
an extension to twelve shafts.
Place the foot rail upside down (pilot holes up)
on the floor in front of the loom.
Assemble the treadles onto the foot rail. The
screw heads on the treadles should point to the
right.
Slide two treadles with a nylon bushing in
between on each axle. Use the axle suspension
blocks and the big screws to assemble these
pairs of treadles to the foot rail. On each side,
one pilot hole on the foot rail should not be
used, unless you are assembling four more
treadles of an extension to twelve shafts.
