Standard checking
The distance between the fork spreader 5 and the left looper 4 must
correspond to the thickness of the looper thread used (see illustration
X opposite).
The right spreader 2 should move as closely as possible on the top
side of the right looper 3, but without touching it.
The spreaders being under spring pressure are held in their end
position by the stops 1 and 6.
The fork of the left spreader 5 should be exactly above the thread hole
of the left looper 4 (see opposite illustration) and the point of the right
spreader 2 centrally above the tip of the right looper 3 (see illustration
at the bottom of the page).

For setting the final positions of the spreaders loosen the screws 7
or 8 at the looper to be adjusted.
