HOW TO REPLACE DRUM LIFTER
1. Using a small, but sturdy flat bladed screwdriver press down the securing tabs inside the drum lifter to release the lifter’s tension to the drum.
2. Once both tabs have been compressed you will be able to slide the lifter towards you to release.
3. To reassemble, repeat steps in reverse order. Ensure that the paddle is properly locked into place by levering up the two tabs into the plastic housing in the drum lifter to create tension after slotting the paddle back into position. Also ensure all four feet on the drum lifter and in their slots on the drum.
