What is the correct procedure for mounting the ceramic ball head onto the stem taper?
• Carefully rinse the stem taper with a suitable liquid, then dry it with a clean gauze swab. Examine the stem and ball head taper very carefully for any signs of damage and remove any visible foreign bodies. • Mount the ceramic ball head, exerting slight axial pressure, while at the same time turning the head until you obtain an immovable fit with the stem taper. • The secure fit of the ball head is ensured by a gentle axial hammer blow to the plastic tamp placed over the ball head.
