The tripod head is attached to the Tripod base with a 1/4" X 20 screw thread and 2 2mm hex head set screws. To remove the head first set the Horizontal Pan Lock thumb wheel to lock the rotation of the head. Then use a 2mm (or 5/64") hex wrench to loosen (several turns) the 2 set screws under the head. Then while securely holding the tripod, rotate the head counterclockwise to release it from the tripod. To install the head simply reverse the order of the above. When the head is screwed onto the tripod use some rotational force to assure that the connection of the head to the tripod is tight. Then tighten the set screws. Do not over-tighten the 2 set screws.

Occasionally the connection of the head to the tripod can become loose and cause inconsistent panning. To secure the base to the head, first loosen the 2 - 2mm set screws with a 2 mm or 5/64" hex wrench. Then fully tighten the Horizontal Pan Lock and twist the head clockwise while firmly holding the tripod base to secure the head to the tripod base. Now use the hex wrench to tighten the 2 set screws.
