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): MH-8 Mesh Head
1.
Remove the kick pedal from the KD-85.
2.
Remove all tuning bolts and washers from the
KD-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.
3.
Remove the hoop.
4.
Remove the old head.
5.
Place the new head on the frame.
6.
Place the hoop onto the head.
7.
Pass the tuning bolts through the washers,
then attach them to the hoop and frame.
8.
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.
