6; p. 7). These sections provide important information concerning the proper operation of the unit. Additionally, in order to feel assured that you have gained a good grasp of every feature provided by your new unit, Owner’s manual should be read in its entirety. The manual should be saved and kept on hand as a convenient reference. VERY IMPORTANT!!! BEFORE playing the pad, you must TUNE it to your preferred playing tension. They are NOT tuned before shipping. Failure to adjust tension may result in damage to the trigger sensor. Contents of the Package □ KD-85 (pad unit) □ Leg x 2 □ Beater □ Stay □ Connection Cable □ Tuning Key ■ Owner's Manual (this manual) This package does not include a kick pedal. Use with a commercially available kick pedal installed on the KD-85. 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.

Use this for adjusting the head tension. H-h— 7.5 mm Features • Kick trigger unit with embedded-mesh head for superior • Compact, eight-inch pad allows for greater versatility playing feel, and quiet response. when setting up. • You can also play using a twin (double kick) pedal. • The four-leg stand assures outstanding stability. Adjusting the Head Tension When adjusting, use the included tuning key. Be sure to adjust the head tension before use. In general, a tension that produces a strike response approximately the same as an acoustic drum will be appropriate. Striking the head when the head tension is loose may damage the sensor and head. Should you neglect to make the appropriate settings, you could likely experience the following problems: • Sometimes it does not sound (uneven volume). • The volume is too low (reduced sensitivity). On the KD-85, adjusting the head tension affects only the head response, and does not change the pitch of the sound as it would on an acoustic drum. The head tension will change as the instrument is used, so you should readjust when necessary. The head stretches when used for extended periods, so even when this is adjusted to 7.5 mm in the following procedure, you may not achieve the same degree of tension as when the head was initially adjusted. Strike the head to check the feel and response as you adjust the tension. 1. Use the included tuning key to tighten the tuning bolts. Tighten the bolts until there is a space of approximately 7.5 mm between the frame and the hoop. A black, 7.5 mm strip is printed at the edge of this page. Use this as a reference when making the adjustment. Tighten each tuning bolt one by one, observing the numerical order shown in the diagram. 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. 1 2. Fine-tune the adjustment while continuing to check the pad feel and response. 2 Next ^ Assembling the KD-85 i>Ap Take care not to pinch your fingers between the KD-85 pad and the stand plate. 1. Place the KD-85 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-85 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. Spike Leg Rubber Leg • 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. 7. Loosen the T-bolts for the stay and mount the legs on the stay. Install the legs as shown in the figure so that the ends of the legs protrude by about 1/2"-1" (1-2 cm). 8. Tighten the T-bolts to secure the legs to the stand. 9. Lift the KD-85 and place the stand and the four legs upright. 10. Adjust the angle of the stand plate so that it’s at a right angle to the floor. Loosen the T bolts that you tightened in step 8, and adjust the length of the legs so that the stand plate is vertical to the floor. T...
