- Page 4 NOTE: We have completed this step for you. Remove and discard the wooden protector blocks. Tap the “clicker pins” for the pawls to the bottom of the holes in both sides. Rest the loom side on a table edge. Tap 25mm (1") hex head bolts through the loom sides. Note: The head of the bolt MUST be level with or below the surface of the side otherwise the pawl will catch on it.
- Page 5 Attach the 4 pawls to the loom sides with 30mm (1¼") machine screws. Note: The “clicker pin” fits into the gap in the pawl. Take care to ensure the “clicker pin” does not damage your table. Rub a little candle wax on the thread of the screws to make assembly easier.
- Page 6 Check the diagonal support arms are the correct way around, locate them onto the bolts and secure with washers and nuts. Leave a 0.5mm (1/32") gap under the nut so the arm can move freely. Attach 4 rubber buffers to the bottom of the feet with 12mm (½") screws.
- Page 7 Locate the 4 pins on the handles into the 4 holes in the cogs. Then give the handles a sharp hit with your fist so they snap down tight onto the cogs. Place the castle inside the frame and attach with 40mm (1½") hex head bolts, washers and nylon knobs. Tap the heads of the bolts into the counter bored hole in the inside of the castle side and tighten the knobs until the heads of the bolts are level or below the surface of the castle side.
- Page 8 Lift the support rails up and attach them to the castle top with 30mm (1¼") screws. Leave a 0.5mm (1/32") gap. Thread the screws into the heddle frame ends using a hand held screwdriver and leave a 5mm (3/16") gap to loop the Texsolv nylon cord over. Note: Do not use an electric screwdriver as it can drive the screws...
- Page 9 Push the metal bars into one heddle frame end, slide 2 bundles of Texsolv heddles over the bars and push the other end in place. Only then remove the plastic ties. If necessary, cut the Texsolv heddles to separate them. Lay each heddle frame on a flat surface and check the two ends are parallel.
- Page 10 Slide the 16 heddle frames into place. Then lift the castle back into the vertical position and thread the knobs back into the castle. There are 2 different lengths of Texsolv cord to attach the heddle frames to the handles. Use the shorter lengths for the front 8 heddle frames.
- Page 11 Use the threading hook. Note: If necessary, slide the cord around the handle until the heddle frame hangs level.
- Page 12 Once all the heddle frames have been attached, re-adjust the Texsolv cords so that the front heddle frame hangs approx 25mm (1") below the castle top and the rear heddle frame hangs approx 10mm (½") below. The holes in the levers are drilled so that the back heddles frames lift more than the front.
- Page 13 Attach beater frame to the support rails. Leave 0.5mm (1/32") gap so the beater can swing freely. Note: If the beater frame rubs against the loom sides loosen the wing nuts and retighten.
