USING THE UNIT SAFELY

When the Head Should Be Replaced

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

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

Replacement heads (optional): MH-8 Mesh Head

1.

Remove all tuning bolts from the PDX-8.

fig.Replace.e

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.

2.

Remove the hoop.

3.

Remove the old head.

4.

Place the new head on the shell.

5.

Place the hoop onto the head.

6.

Attach the tuning bolts to the hoop and shell.

7.

Next, adjust the tension of the head. Refer to

“Adjusting the Head Tension” (p. 5).

Do not firmly tighten a single tuning bolt by itself. Doing
so will make it impossible to tension the head evenly, and
will cause malfunctions.

* The Rim rubber is one component that eventually wears out

(the more so if numerous rim shots are performed), and will
require replacement. Rim shots may not be performed correctly
when the rim rubber is worn out. If this occurs, replace the rim
rubber. Consult Roland Service for more on replacing the rim
rubber.

* Due to the nature of the materials used in the sensor, changes

in room temperature may affect the sensitivity of the sensor.
