1) The edge of the fulcrum ring and the inside of the head should
be lightly lubricated with Vaseline each time the head is
replaced.
2) Fit head in the Top Tension Ring.
3) The thread and head of the tension screws should be
lubricated with Vaseline each time they are removed.
4) Fit Top Head and Tension Ring to Fulcrum Ring and start
screws in threads by hand making sure each one
turns without restriction.
5) Cross tighten 4 Screws at right angles to take up initial slack.
6) If you do not have a Torque Limiter the following would be
required, tighten each screw in half turns in a clockwise
direction from Tension Screw 1 to 20. Make sure of exactly
which screw you start from and make certain to stop on Screw
number 20, this means you have to tighten from 1-20 several times until the drum head starts to come in tune.
7) From this point adjust each screw 1/4 turn or less until head
reaches required pitch.
8) The screws should be tightened no further until the drum has been
played for approximately 1 hour.
