Replacing the Wing Nuts

washers from the pivot shaft holder of your
stand.
2. Close the pivot shaft holder then put one

on the bolt and screw the end of the lock
handle onto the bolt.
Loosen the lock handle enough to allow
angle adjustment of the bass drum.
3. Attach one more lock handle to the other
side of the bass drum stand.
4. Position the bass drum at the desired angle
then firmly tighten the lock handles on both
sides of the bass drum stand to secure.

Exchanging the Base Pipes
Base pipe should be replaced by at
least two persons on a level surface.
1.
Remove the base pipes from your stand. Re-
fer to the illustration below and use the hex-
wrench to completely remove the bolts used
to attach the base pipes to the stand, along
with the flat washers and spring washers.
2.
Insert the base pipes supplied with the BS800C
Stand Retrofit Kit into the holes on the stand base
and use the hex-wrench to partially tighten the
four (4) bolts into the base pipe ends. After all
four (4) bolts are loosely tightened into the base
pipes, tighten all four bolts firmly.
* Both base pipes are the same.
* Please replace all bolts, flat washers, and
spring washers on your drum stand with
those supplied with the retrofit kit.
* Fully tightening the bolts without
first loosely tightening the bolts
into the base pipes will result in
damaged threads in the base pipes
and a misshapen stand.
