Set Up the Stand

* The tips of the cymbal mount and tom holder are sharp. Handle them with care.

* When setting up or storing the stand, be careful not to pinch the fingers you use to handle the stand.

NOTE

• Tighten the hex nut according to the diameter of the pipe

that is being clamped. Ensure that the clamp is parallel with

the main unit when the knob

and knob

is tightened.

• Take care not to slide the drum sound module mount too far

outward. Doing so will produce instability, possibly allowing

the drum sound module to fall.

All purpose clamp

NOTE

• When setting up, ensure that the tripod of the stand is

sufficiently open. If the tripod is insufficiently open, the

appropriate degree of stability might not be obtained.

• If you are using the boom arm in a lengthened position,

stability will improve if the cymbal is directly above one of the

tripod legs.

• Likewise, when attaching the tom to the tom holder, stability

will improve if the tom is directly above one of the tripod legs.

• When you loosen the knob while adjusting the height or

angle of tom or cymbal, the pipe or pad might fall and pinch

your fingers. Use one hand to support the tom, pipe, or

cymbal mount while you slowly loosen the knob.

• To prevent the stand from tipping over or falling, tighten the

knobs until there is no looseness. When tightening knob

or knob

, ensure that the gears that maintain the angle are

firmly meshed.
