SETTING UP THE D-RING

d-rings or replaced if a d-ring is broken.
1. While holding the d-ring firmly against the frame, remove the screw
(Figure 5).
2. Remove the d-ring system from the frame (Figure 6).
3. Replace the broken d-ring/inserts with new d-ring/inserts (if
applicable)(Figure 7).
4. Snap the female insert into the d-ring.
5. Place the d-ring/female insert assembly into the bronze bearing in the
frame with the washer under the d-ring (internal or external)
(Figure 8).
6. Insert the male insert on the opposite side of the frame into the d-ring
assembly. (note: Replace with the appropriate male insert. The outer
surface of the insert has either one or two dots. Use the same type as
the originally installed version)
