Installation instructions
Installation is fairly simple
- Remove the two black nylon screws at the tops of the silver yoke rods. These are normally only fingertight, but a small screwdriver may be helpful if the screws are difficult to remove.
- Pull the yoke rods straight out of the adjustment blocks on your old headband, then insert the rods into the blocks on your new headband. Keep in mind that the headband is directional and the yoke rods will only fit in one way. If you can’t get the yoke rods to slide easily into the holes in the blocks, try turning the headband around.
- Reinstall the black screws into the rod tops so they’re finger-tight, and you’re all set for the final step…
Here’s where things have changed since the video was made
The package contains a hex wrench and a small tube of thread-locking adhesive, to allow for fine-tuning of the pressure applied by the plunger screws. The pressure should be set so it takes a bit of effort to slide from one setting to the next, but not so tight that it’s difficult to do. We recommend that you spend a little time setting them to your liking, then apply the adhesive as below:
- Using the hex wrench, turn the plunger screws counter-clockwise in the adjustment blocks so they come almost out of the blocks.
- Apply a drop of the adhesive to the threads of the plunger screws, as pictured in Fig. 1
- Turn the screws back in and adjust them for desired tension on the yoke rods. You’ll need to move the rods back and forth a few times, and make fine adjustments so the rods move with effort, but not too easily.
- It’s important to make these small adjustments within a few minutes of applying the adhesive, then let them set undisturbed for about one hour. Once the adhesive is set-up, the screws will no longer be adjustable since the adhesive is permanent.
- You may want to delay applying the adhesive until you have a good sense of how tight you want the screws to be set. This is fine, but be aware that the screws may loosen on their own until the adhesive is applied and set-up.
