NOTICE: Usage Precautions

• When connecting and disconnecting cables, be sure to hold the plug and not the cable itself. In addition,

avoid placing heavy items on top of cables and do not allow them to touch sharp edges. Failure to avoid

these precautions can lead to cable breakage and disconnection.

• Do not climb onto the electronic drum kit and avoid placing heavy objects on it. Failure to observe this pre-

caution can result in malfunction.

• Avoid using or storing the electronic drum kit in very hot locations (i.e., in direct sunlight, in close proximity to

a heater, or in a closed vehicle) or in highly humid locations (i.e., in a bathroom or outdoors in wet weather).

Failure to observe this precaution can lead to warping, discoloration, malfunction, or breakdown.

• Avoid cleaning the electronic drum kit with organic solvents, paint thinner, or alcohol as these substances

can cause warping and discoloration. Instead, we recommend you remove dust using a soft dry cloth or

wipe clean using a moist, tightly-wrung cloth. If the electronic drum kit is very dirty, first wipe the dirt away

using a cloth moistened with a neutral detergent solution and tightly wrung. Following this, wipe away the

detergent solution using a cloth soaked in water and tightly wrung.

Safety Precautions Please read carefully before proceeding.

Failure to observe the precautions described below can result in se-

rious injury or even death.

• Young children using this electronic drum kit should be supervised by a guardian to eliminate any

possibility of injury.

• Holders for cymbal and tom pads have sharp tips. In order to avoid injury, therefore, you should

take special care whenever handling these components.

• The anti-slip stoppers on kick pads and foot pedals have sharp tips. In order to avoid injury, there-

fore, you should take special care whenever handling these components.

• Be sure to securely tighten nuts and other fasteners when setting up this electronic drum kit. In

addition, be sure to proceed slowly when loosening nuts. If this precaution is not observed, pads

may fall off or the rack may collapse or fall over, possibly causing injury.

• Do not setup this electronic drum kit on a slope, on an unstable platform, or on any other unsafe

surface. If this precaution is not observed, it may topple over or fall, possibly causing injury.

• Whenever setting up this electronic drum kit, ensure that cables and the like are arranged safely. If

someone were to trip on a cable, the kit could topple over and cause injury.

• Under no circumstances should this electronic drum kit be disassembled or customized. Failure to

observe this precaution can result in injury or malfunction.

• Do not sit or stand on the rack. Doing so could cause it to fall over or break, possibly causing injury.

WARNING

Failure to observe the precautions described below can result in in-

jury and/or property damage.

• Mind your fingers when adjusting clamps. They can easily be crushed if care is not taken during

this operation.

• Be careful with the tips of supports, arms, screws, and the like. Fingers can easily be injured by

sharp tips if these components are not handled carefully.

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

• Do not use the electronic drum kit’s rack to hold acoustic drums. Doing so could cause clamps to
