Key Notes for this video: It was originally recorded in 2019 and relates to the V3, V4 or V5 Gentle Roller. Some packaging changes have been made to the V5 GR since the video was recorded. The video indicates where you may need to refer to other videos to complete the assembly.
Key Information on this video: Unpacking, Assembly
We apologize for all the packaging involved. We've kept it to a minimum bearing in mind that your Gentle Roller has probably travelled half-way around the world, seen the back of at least 4 trucks and between 2 and 6 cargo flights and been handled by up to 16 different baggage handlers.
Assembling your Fulling Drum:
Key Notes for this video: Due to constant freight price increase we have had to change the packaging of the Fulling Drum to reduce its overall size. This video may apply to you if you have received a kit form Fulling Drum which we have started to ship from April 2023.

Difficult to Remove Drive Roller:
Key Notes for this video: A few customers have had issues with tight drive rollers and have experienced difficulty getting the roller in and out. While assembling your new Gentle Roller we recommend that you apply this fix to avoid potential problems and give yourself an easier experience. You will need some standard flat washers M6 (or 1/4inch) - in all packs after February 1st 2023. Watch the video and do the change as a post operation, or preferably while starting your assembly.
