Universal drum catch variations
WARNING
–
Due to variations in the manufacture of drums it is important that
the correct hook position is selected. Failure to do so could result in the catch
disconnecting from the drum.
The universal drum catch has been designed so that a various number of
positions can be used to fit different sized drums. By removing the top R-clip,
the top hook can be turned over so that the sticker is upside down. This gives
the top hook a further 5mm of reach. Changing the hole that the top catch is
located in increases the reach by a further 10mm by each hole placement. The
top hook must always be placed in the shortest possible position.
The following examples are for guidance only:
