It is crucial that the attachment tubes are seated all the way into the attachment housings for the drive shafts to register properly.

  1. Back the tension and set screws all the way out but do not remove them from the housing
  2. Insert tube with set screw hole aligned with set screw
    (you may need to use the mallet to gently tap the tube all the way in)
  3. Spin the set screw in by hand until you feel it contact the tube then rotate the tube as needed to align the hole. Once you have the alignment cinch down the screw being careful to not overtighten. A quarter-turn past bottom will do.
