Join the “S” hook of the jacks D to the eyelet of the
FLOATING lam E.
Castle cover
Complete the assembly by secur-
ing the Castle cover with 4 #12
1½” at screws.
Make sure to screw into the pre-
drilled holes of the castle.

15
Install the treadle cords with the treadle hooks.
Using the carriage bolts, steel washers and square nuts, attach the batten sley A (with shuttle race) to
the batten swords B.
Then afx the batten handtree C to the batten swords B.
Install reed D in the slots of batten
handtree C and batten sley A.
Adjust batten handtree C by sliding
the bolts in the slots of the batten
swords to rmly hold the reed.

16
If the batten does not touch the two bumpers equally, loosen
the bolts of the batten sley and batten handtree and exert
pressure on the batten centering it in its proper place. Tighten
the bolts again.
You can install now or just before weaving the treadles springs.
After the installation, the treadles will be all at the same height.

17
Unhook brake treadle cord C from the brake release treadle.
Hold circular wire brake shoe D up slightly to the rear of the loom.
Insert one end of the warp beam (which has only a metal post) into the left-hand
side back post.
Insert the friction brake drum of the warp beam into the circular wire brake shoe D.
Do not unroll the brake shoe (brake circle), just slide the warp beam into it

18
Insert the brake end of the warp
beam into the hole of the right-hand
side back-post.
Install the 7/16” X 3½” machine bolt through the right-hand
side back post and into the warp beam.
Using crank E, tighten the machine bolt into the warp beam.

19
Using two 2” round-headed screws no 14, afx the breast
back beam to the back posts.
Join the front “S” hook of the brake lever to the brake loop cord so the tension on the spring will be
high enough to lock the warp beam while weaving.
The warp beam should turn with some friction clockwise (while standing at the right side
of the loom near the brake system) and this is the warping rotation. However, you should always
release the tension on the friction brake system by disconnecting the spring from the loop cord (S
hook) when you are warping the loom.
To advance the fabric when weaving, depress the brake treadle just enough to release the
warp beam. Depressing the brake treadle too far may cause the brake cable to come off the brake
drum.
Join the brake treadle to the S Hook in the back of the Brake Lever. Adjust the length so the bake
treadle is at the comfortable height Make a double knot at the brake treadle eye.

Threading Hook
FIRST TREADLE TIE-UP
Select any treadle and tie the Lams to the Treadles using
the 7½” cords supplied with the loom. Use the threading
hook to help pass the cord through each hole of the lam.
Install the Treadle Rocker Loop Cord on the
Jack box screw at the black mark as a starting
point.
TREADLE HOOK AND ROCKER LOOP CORD
Slide the Treadle Hook through the Screw
Eyes and the treadle Cord Loops. Before the last
Screw Eye, insert the Hook through the
Treadle Spring loop cord and secure with the peg
in the front.
In the Treadle rest position(up) there should be no
or very little tension on the Spring.
However, slack on the spring cords is not
desirable.
When all treadles are tied up, they should
be at almost the same height. The top front part of
each treadle should be app. at 8¾" to the floor.
