* Adjust the height so that the entire pedal
comes into contact with the floor.
This hight will vary depending
on your kick pedal.
When using on the drum mat
When using on
hard-surfaced flooring
strikes the center of the head,
then secure the kick pedal and
KD-8 fi rmly in place.
Attach the kick pedal
Adjusting the foot plate height
Depending on your kick pedal, it can be unstable
when you attach it to the KD-8. Be sure to adjust
the foot plate height so that the entire bottom
surface of the pedal is attached to the fl oor.
*
Install the kick pedal securely.
Take care not to pinch your fi ngers.
The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp.
Handle with care.
When moving the KD-8, be sure
to remove the screws and fold the
stand. Transporting the KD-8 while
it remains open may subject the
stand to excessive strain and result in
damage to the stand.
Anti-skid tape is affi
xed to the foot
plate. When transporting the KD-8,
don’t forget to pick up the foot plate.

Loosen the stand’s anchor bolts
and remove the foot plate.
Set the kick pedal so that the entire
bottom surface is attached to the fl oor.

In most cases, the stand becomes
somewhat elevated. Tighten the anchor
bolts securely there to fi x the stand and
foot plate.
3.
Adjusting the anchor bolts
When using the kick pedal on a drum mat or similar surface, adjust the anchor bolts so their tips
protrude from the plate. Then, secure the pedal in place; this will make it easier to use the kick pedal.
However, when used on hard-surfaced fl ooring, the anchor bolts may damage the fl oor. Adjust the
anchor bolts correctly.
When using a twin pedal
Position the two beaters equally apart
from the center of the pad as shown in
the fi gure at left. If one of the beater is
further away from the center than the
other, the sound from the further beater
will be lower in volume, or will not
sound as desired.
Using a twin pedal will result in lower
sensitivity as compared to when a
single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity
on the sound module.
NOTE
The tips of the anchor bolts are
sharp. Handle with care.

Attach the bolt so that
it is at the right when
seen by the performer.
Use cable ties to fasten the cables at the circled locations “
” so that
they do not interfere with your performance.
*
Do not spread open the stand farther than 135 degrees
as shown in the illustration. Nor should
you spread the stand wider than 1.2 meters (48 inches).

To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power
on all devices before making any connections.

out accidentally), and to avoid applying undue stress to the AC adaptor jack, anchor the
power cord using the cord hook, as shown in the illustration.
