KD-120 (V-Kick Trigger Pad)

The head is an expendable item that eventually will wear out and need to be replaced. Replace the head when the following
occurs:

• The head surface is torn

• Slack portions remain in the head even when the head tension is properly adjusted.

Replacement heads (optional):

Mesh Head (MH-12)

When replacing the head, use the included tuning key.

Do not apply excessive force to the sensor and cushion located under the head.
Doing so can interfere with accurate detection, and may damage it.

1.

Loosen the lock nuts on the tuning bolts.

2.

Remove all tuning bolts from the KD-120. Go around and gradually loosen each one in order (by turning

it counterclockwise).

3.

Remove the hoop.

4.

Remove the old head.

5.

Place the new head on the shell.

6.

Place the hoop onto the head.

7.

First lightly tighten bolt ‘a’ in the above diagram by rotating it clockwise. Then tighten bolt ‘b’ to about

the same force.

8.

Now lightly tighten ‘c’, and then ‘d’. Tighten ‘e’ and ‘f’ in the same way.

9.

Next adjust the tension of the head. Refer to “Adjusting the Head Tension” above.

* Fully tightening a tuning bolt at only a single location produces uneven tensioning, which may make it impossible to obtain the proper

strike sensitivity and may even result in incorrect operation. Be sure to tighten each tuning bolt a little at a time, as described in the above
explanation.
