The threads are right handed,
so turning the ring clockwise
screws it on the head. When
you can not turn it further use
the ring wrench to tighten it.
Step 15. INSTALL RING.
The ring can weigh up to 65 pounds, if this is
more than you can comfortably lift, get help.
If you have a ring remover, use it.
Be careful that you do not bang the ring
against the center pin or other object. If you
think that you have cross threaded the ring,
repeat Step 14.

When the ring is tightened, back it off 1/8 to
1/4 turn for fine grinding, 1/2 turn for coarse
grinding.

Using the ring wrench tighten the ring until
you can tighten it no further. Do not slap
the ring wrench, rather just push down on
the handle. Use the ring wrench only! Do
not use a pipe extension! Do not use a pipe
wedged between the center support and the
bridge support.
Step 14. INSPECT THE RING
The threads of the ring should be inspected
before the ring is assembled on the head.
The threads must be perfectly clean, and free
of any nicks or burrs. If there are nicks or
burrs they must be removed or the ring and
head may lock together.
The plate support and the bushing support
areas should also be free of nicks and burrs.
