1. Install the wolf stroller on a hard sur-

leg to the treadle bar on the outside of the
leg 1” from the bottom (gure 1). Remove
the bolt from the leg. The barrel nut that
held the bolt slips out of the underside of
the treadle bar. Discard the bolt and keep
the barrel nut. Set a caster block on the
outside of the leg, with the caster wheel
toward the front and the oor. Line up the
hole (C) at the bottom of the block to the
hole (B) in the leg and insert a new 3”
machine screw though the caster block
and the leg into the treadle bar (gures 1

and 2). Using a at screwdriver to hold the
barrel nut in place, tighten the bolt into
the barrel nut. Repeat for the other front
caster block.
3. Install the caster blocks to the back legs
and the rear leg brace. Remove the truss-
head bolt (B) from the back leg and the
rear leg brace. This time you will install
the caster block with the new 3” machine
screw through the center hole (D) in
gure 3. Tighten the bolt rmly into the
barrel nut. Repeat for the other rear leg.
4. Attach the top of each of the four
casters to the loom legs. Put a 2 ¼"
carriage bolt through the hole (H) in
the leg from the inside, then through
the top hole (A) in the caster block.
Tap the carriage bolt into the loom leg
using a rubber mallet or hammer and
a piece of scrap wood. Place a washer
and a lock nut on the carriage bolt and
tighten the lock nut enough to draw
the head of the carriage bolt into the
wood of the leg (gures 2 and 3). Note:
When installing the caster block on the right
front leg, depress the brake release pedal,
or undo the brake release cord from the
pedal, to allow easier access to the hole (H).
Repeat for the other three caster blocks. If
you detached the brake release cord from
the pedal, reattach it.
5. Attach the bolt to hold the front of the
metal support bar when the loom is folded.
From the inside of the loom insert a 1 ¾"
hex bolt through the hole (G) in the front
caster block. Secure the hex bolt with a
washer and a lock nut. Place a ¼” wing nut
on the bolt (gure 2). Repeat Step 5 for
the other front caster block.
6. Attach the metal support bar to the
rear caster block. From the inside of the
loom insert a 1 ½" hex bolt through the
hole (G) in the rear caster block. Place a
washer on the bolt and then place the cir-
cular hole at the end of the metal support

bar (S) over the bolt so that the jog in the
bar points inward. Secure with a lock nut.
Tighten the lock nut, allowing the support
bar to pivot (gure 3). Repeat for the other
rear caster block.
7. Using the stroller. Fold the loom.
Tighten the fold-up knobs and secure the
slide lock bars to prevent the loom from
opening. You will notice that the loom is
now sitting on its stroller wheels. Remove
the wing nut from the bolt at (G) on the
front caster blocks. Place the slots at the
front end of each metal support bar over
these bolts, replace the wing nuts and
tighten.
Your Wolf loom is now ready to travel. •
