IRON COBRA DRUM PEDAL HP600D / HP600DTW

1. Installing the Beater

Loosen the square head bolt

1 of the beater holder using the drum key. Insert

the beater shaft and adjust it to the desired height, and then tighten the bolt to
secure it. The beater head is designed with two surfaces, one felt and one nylon,
to be used at the performer’s discretion.
When securing the beater, attach the pedal to the bass drum and press the
footboard so that the beater surface you have chosen makes contact with the
drumhead. Then, tighten the bolt to secure the beater in the correct position.

2. Attaching the Pedal Unit

The pedal unit is attached to the bass drum. Loosen the T-bolt of the hoop clamp
and fasten the clamp to the hoop on the bass drum. After making sure that it is
straight, tighten the bolt to secure it.

3. Adjusting the Spring Tension

Fit the quick hook onto the bearing of the rocker cam. Adjust the spring tension
using the nut on the lower end. When adjusting the spring, fi rst loosen the
locknut (Fig. 1), and then turn the adjusting nut while pressing down on the
locknut as in Fig. 2. Tightening the nut makes the pedal’s resistance heavier, but
the beater’s return time is correspondingly faster. In order to prevent the spring
from loosening while playing, the adjusting nut engages the cap attached to the
unit roughly every 1/3 of a turn. Once the desired tension is reached, secure it
by tightening the locknut as in Fig. 3.

4. Adjusting the Beater Angle (Photo 2)

The angle of the beater can be adjusted along
with the angle of the footboard by loosening
the square head bolt

2 on top of the rocker

cam. You may test the increments of the
angle memory cap, attached to the end of the
shaft (The longer line on the angle memory
cap shows the factory set-up position.), by
adjusting it a bit at a time. As the angle of the
beater is lowered, the footboard rises. Once
the desired angle is reached, tighten the bolt
2 fi rmly to secure it.

5. Duo Glide

The Duo Glide system allows you to choose
two different actions by changing the
mounting direction of the chain wheel.
P: Power Glide (Photo 3-P / factory standard)
The power glide offset cam increases power
and speed as the beater reaches the end of
stroke.
R: Rolling Glide (Photo 3-R)
The rolling glide, a true rounded cam,
provides smooth, uniform response.
To change the mounting direction of the
wheel, fi rst loosen the square-headed bolt
3 and remove it. Then, pull out the black
wheel (Photo 3).
Reattach the wheel upside-down and insert
the bolt

3 and tighten it.

Note:

For the twin pedals (HP600DTW), make sure
to change the wheel on the left pedal so it
is in the same direction as that on the right
pedal.
