Instructions
The holes for the pins have been pre-drilled at 1/2" intervals, and pins are inserted in half of the holes, to make 1" intervals. Note that the center pin on the raddle has been painted black to mark the center of the raddle. If you prefer 1/2" intervals, extra pins are included for the empty holes. To install these pins, first loosen the wing nuts and remove the top of the raddle. Place the raddle on a sturdy surface such as the edge of a table, directly above a table leg. Gently tap the pins into the holes with a hammer.

Assembly for Looms with Flat Beams
To attach the clamps to the raddle, remove the small black e-clips which are taped to the clamp. Insert the clamps into the smaller holes on the ends of the raddle base. Push the e-clip into the groove on the clamp. Attach the raddle to a flat beam or shuttle race as shown in diagram A.

Assembly for Wolf Looms with Slanted Beams
To assemble your raddle for mounting with special brackets onto a Wolf Pup, Baby Wolf or a Mighty Wolf loom: Replace the bolts at each end of the raddle with the metal post which are on each of the U-brackets, as follows: remove the wing nuts and washers from the top of each end of the raddle; using a flathead screwdriver, remove each bolt and nylon spacer. Insert the metal post on each U-bracket into each bolt hole. Fix the bracket/raddle assembly onto the beam of the Wolf loom and secure with the large rubber bands, as shown in diagram B.
