Head Replacement
When the Head Should Be Replaced
The head is an expendable item that eventually will wear out and need to be replaced. Replace the head when the following occurs:
•The head surface is torn
•Slack portions remain in the head even when the head tension is properly adjusted.
Replacement heads (optional):
Replacing the Head
1.Remove all tuning bolts and washers from the PD-85.
Press the lock bushing (in figure below) in place with your finger as you remove each tuning bolt, to prevent the bushings from being pulled off the frame.

*The lock bushings prevent rotation and loosening of the tuning bolts caused by vibrations that are transmitted from the hoop as you play.
2.Remove the hoop.
3.Remove the old head.
4.Place the new head on the frame.
5.Place the hoop onto the head.
6.Pass the tuning bolts through the washers, then attach them to the hoop and frame.
7.Next, adjust the tension of the head. Refer to “Adjusting the Head Tension” (p. 2).
Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing so will make it impossible to tension the head evenly, and will cause malfunctions.
If a lock bushing happens to become separated from the frame while the head is being replaced, position the bushing so its four slots are aligned with the corresponding ridges in the frame, then press down firmly on the bushing.
