	Standard Drum Shield setup is EASY and should take approximately 30-45 minutes for 1-2 people the first time. Active's shield panels are shipped with a protective paper mask to save you money and so your shield panels arrive pristine clean and crystal clear! Review our photo setup guide below.

Standard Drum Shield Setup Example

	1. Open The Package On The Floor		2. Removing Protective Mask

	Locate the package side seam up, cut sealing tape carefully to open.		Begin removing the protective paper mask by slowly peeling from both corners.

	3. Remove Panel Protective Mask		4. Remove Deflector Protective Mask

	Help makes removal much easier. Pull mask away SLOWLY, evenly.		DO NOT rush mask removal. Mask removes easiest at room temperature.

	5. Install Optional "T" Feet Supports		6. Install Hinges On Base Panels

	Attach optional "T" feet panel supports about 3" inset of base panel short edges.		Attach standard metal hinges to one side of each base panel. Do not overtighten screws. (Hint: Place so screw heads are on outside for adjustments AFTER the drum set is up!)

	7. Align and Attach Base Panels		8. Tighten All Panel Hinge Screws

	Align and attach panels together.		There are many "tools" that do the job of tightening panel hinge connectors.

	9. Install Top Deflector Panels		Detail Showing "T" Feet & Hinge

	Slip on white deflector connector discs, and install top panels in angle slots.		A typical example of panel setup. Note connector hinge screws facing "out".
