Dowel handles help engage the ratchet dog and ratchet gear. You'll always find these parts together on your Cricket, Flip, or Arras Beam Kit.

• 10" and 15" Cricket Looms have two dowel handles—one on the cloth beam and one on the warp beam.
• 15" and 20" Flip Looms have two dowel handles—one on the cloth beam and one on the warp beam.
• 25" and 30" Flip Looms have four dowel handles—two on the cloth beam and two on the warp beam.
• Arras Beam Kits have four dowel handles—two on the cloth beam and two on the warp beam.

The dowel handle end of any warp beam or cloth beam has a large hole for the dowel and a small hole for its screw.

1. Remove the screw holding the dowel handle on the warp beam or cloth beam. Remove the old dowel handle and discard it, but keep the screw.
2. Insert the new dowel handle.
3. Secure the dowel handle with the screw.
