AdjustingtheAnchorBolts.

When using the kick pedal on a carpet or on a drum mat (TDM series), the slip-prevention tape that’s on the base should prevent the KD-9 from moving around.However, if that’s not enough to keep the KD-9 in a fixed position, you can adjust things so that the tips of the anchor bolts protrude through the base. That should keep it in place and make it easier for you to play.

WhenUsingaTwinPedal

Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of the pad as shown in the figure 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.For details, see “Setting the Pad Sensitivity [F2] (BASIC)” in the owner’s manual.

About WARNING and CAUTION Notices About the Symbols

ALWAYS OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

Placement

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very diff erent, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

356 • Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on this unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully aff ect the fi nish.

361 • Do not put anything that contains water on this unit. Also, avoid the use of insecticides, perfumes, alcohol, nail polish, spray cans, etc., near the unit. Swiftly wipe away any liquid that spills on the unit using a dry, soft cloth.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

(KD-9)As routine maintenance, you should wipe the striking surface using a dry, soft cloth.

402 • Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

AdditionalPrecautions• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a

preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during product testing. This does not aff ect the performance or functionality of the product, and you may continue using it with confi dence.

• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not aff ect the Pad’s function.

• Do not insert hands or fi ngers into the locations indicated with arrows in the illustrations. Otherwise, you risk getting injured or causing damage to the product.

553 • Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

556 • When disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

926a

• When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of equipment connected to the inputs (MIX IN jack) may be low. If this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.

962a

• In the interest of product improvement, the specifi cations and/or appearance of this unit are subject to change without prior notice.
