PRECAUTIONS

1.

Please read carefully before proceeding

The purpose of the precautions detailed below is to ensure that this electronic drum kit can be used safely without fear of injury or property damage. Precautions are extremely important in terms of ensuring
safety, and therefore, they should be fully observed.

• Assemble this product in the proper sequence by following the assembly instructions in this manual. Also, make sure to tighten the bolts regularly. Failure to do so might result in damage to the
product or even injury.

CAUTION

XP105T

Failure to observe the precautions described below can result in
injury and/or property damage.

• Be careful with the edges of the cymbal holders and the tom holders. The sharp holder ends can
result in injury.

3. Loosen wing bolts A to B and clamp bolts C to E as shown
below to adjust the height and angle of any of the pads. When
correctly positioned, be sure to securely retighten the bolts
before proceeding to the next step.

• Do not attach acoustic drums to the electronic drum rack. Clamps can be damaged and drums can
drop, causing injury.
• Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your children may accidentally swallow them.

• Be sure to securely tighten bolts and other fasteners when setting up this product. In addition, be
sure to proceed slowly when loosening bolts. If this precaution is not observed, pads can fall off or
the rack can collapse or fall over, possibly causing injury.

• Do not go near the product during an earthquake. Strong shaking during an earthquake could
cause the product to move or tip over, resulting in damage to the product or its parts, and possibly
causing injury.

• Do not place the product in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• When transporting or moving the product, always use two or more people. Attempting to lift the
product by yourself may damage your back, result in other injury, or cause damage to the product
itself.

CH755

• Do not place hands or feet under a hi-hat stand, kick pad or foot pedal. Doing so could result in
injury.

• The anti-slip stoppers on kick pads and on foot pedals have sharp tips. In order to avoid injury,
therefore, you should take special care whenever handling these components.
