Setting Pads and Pedals
KD-80
(V-Kick Trigger)
Before using the KD-80, you need to adjust the head tension
(p. 6).
Assembling the KD-80
• Take care not to pinch your fingers between the KD-80
pad and the stand plate.
• Please be aware that by using a felt beater, you risk
causing damage to the head as a result of the metal
portions of the beater that can become exposed when the
felt wears thin. For the kick pedal, we recommend that
you use only the supplied beater, or a commercially
available plastic beater.
1.
Place the KD-80 pad, with the head surface facing
downward, on a flat surface such as the floor.
2.
Use the included tuning key to loosen the bolts for
the bracket on the back of the KD-80 pad, then
open the bracket.
3.
Mount the stay on the pad.
Align the mark on the stay with the protrusion of the
bracket, and use the tuning key to firmly tighten the bolts
that you loosened in step
2
.
4.
Loosen the leg nut.
5.
Rotate the rubber foot to adjust the leg tip.
Adjust to use the spike legs when installing on carpeting
or other soft surfaces, or the rubber legs when installing on
flooring or other hard surfaces.
When shipped from the factory, the stand is adjusted for
using the rubber legs.
• The tip of the spike is sharp. Handle it with care.
• When using on flooring, the spike legs may damage the
floor. Adjust to use the rubber legs.
6.
Tighten the nut and rubber foot to secure the
rubber foot in place and keep it from loosening.
The nut and rubber foot must be tighten to prevent the
malfunctions.
