3 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 A and knob B 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 5
or knob 6 , ensure that the gears that maintain the angle are
firmly meshed.
