ROUBLESHOOTING
Harnesses
Your WDL has polyester heddles. The polyester heddles are carried on
transverse harness sticks, top and bottom, and stabilized at the bottom by a
series of springs. These hold the harnesses down and prevent your heddles
from floating.
On occasion you will find that one or more of your harnesses will misbehave.
There are a finite number of things that can cause these problems.
Symptom
A) The top harness
stick collapses; it
assumes a diagonal
angle and one leg of
the harness cable
from which it is
suspended goes slack.

Troubleshooting

Possible Cause
1) Your heddles are
bunched together
towards the center of
the harness or on one
side only. This is a
problem because the
heddles are part of
the harness structure.
Additional Loom Information
How to Fix It
Move a few heddles to each
end of your harness sticks;
just to the inside of the
eyehooks. That way your
harnesses will be balanced.
