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 affix the batten handtree C to the batten swords B. Install reed D in the slots of batten handtree C and batten sley A.
Page 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.

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 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.

Using two 2” round-headed screws no 14, affix 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.

Warp beam advance control system Cut the 5-yard (4.5 m) cord in half. One half of this cord laces beam stick A to warp rod B Insert a metal rod into the apron of the cloth beam. Use the other half of the cord to lace this rod to the third metal rod. This system will eliminate excessive warp yarn advance when releasing the brake system at cloth take-up.
