Drum Assembly; First Endcap Installation; Plate Installation - Smith FS351 Assembly

First End Endcap Installation
• Place the endcap onto one end of the mandrel – ensure holes are aligned. Cleaning and light
polishing of surfaces may be required for proper fit.
• Clean and apply blue threadlocker to the 10 hex head bolts, then insert each through the endcap
threading into the mandrel and hand-tighten in a star sequence (see below). Torque to 65 ft-lbs
(requires 3/8" hex bit socket).

Plate Installation

• Place mandrel on endcap end
• Ensure outside of mandrel and each plate are cleaned – light polishing of plate inside bore may
be required
• Gently align plate with mandrel (plate should be level and concentric force should not be re-
quired) remove plate and re-clean (do not use force, do not hammer, do not lubricate), then plate
should slip onto mandrel.
