BEKA Fold & Go Loom Floor Stand User manual

FOLD & GO RIGID HEDDLE LOOM FLOOR STAND
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (refer to photo on back)
1) Position short base pieces with notches in, as shown. Insert #3 bolts through base pieces from
bottom. Align cross bar so the bolts pass through holes provided. Secure bolts with flat washer, lock
washer and wing nut above cross bar.
2) Position long uprights in base notches; slotted ends up and facing forward, as shown below. Pass #2
bolts through long uprights, then base pieces, securing with flat washer, lock washer and wing nut.
3) Position short uprights outside the base pieces, with slotted ends up and facing back toward the
long uprights. Pass #2 bolts from the inside through remaining hole in each base piece, then through
the hole in the short upright. Secure each bolt with a flat washer, lock washer and wing nut.
4) Position each of the aluminum brackets in slots provided at the top of each upright, notched bracket
ends up. Attach brackets with #1 bolts, going from the inside of the stand to the outside. Brackets in
each pair of uprights (back pair and front pair) must be attached with the same choice of the 3 optional
holes in the aluminum (so loom cross pieces will be parallel to the floor when loom is mounted onto the
stand). Secure bolts with flat washers, lock washers and wing nuts.
ATTACHING THE LOOM
A separate hardware pack with four 1-1/2” bolts and wing nuts, plus 8 washers is included with your Floor
Stand. This hardware is used to attach your Fold & Go Loom to the Floor Stand. Slide each bolt through
a washer, then through holes provided in the loom’s sides (from inside the loom to the outside). Slide
washers onto each bolt (outside the loom’s sides); add wing nuts to hold them in place. Position
aluminum brackets so notched ends fit between bolt heads and washers inside side pieces (bolt heads
will seat in bracket notches; washers will prevent aluminum from discoloring the cherry wood sides).
Secure with wing nuts. Check and adjust for a comfortable weaving position; raise or lower brackets as
necessary for your desired weaving height and angle.
When weaving, place your feet on the floor stand cross bar for added stability.

STORING YOUR LOOM ON THE STAND
To temporarily store your loom and stand, loosen the back set of “attaching”bolts, remove loom from
long upright brackets (the back), leave loom attached to short upright brackets (the front). Lower loom
and pivot short uprights back so loom hangs upside down and rests against the long uprights.
