drels. The upper and lower mandrels are 
different. The word “TOP” is stamped on 
the shaft of the upper mandrel and the 
word “LOW” is stamped on the shaft of the 
lower mandrel. The ends of each mandrel 
are also different. The “hanger” end

tension adjuster on the right side and then 
lowering the hanger end into the bracket 
on the left side.
