This manual describes the standard assembly of the DTX550K.
After assembling the parts and connecting the cords as shown in Figure 1, the
unit is ready to be turned on.
* To assemble the unit, make sure you have the following four packages:
- RS85A (Electronic Drum Rack)
- DTP502 (Pad Set)
- DTX500 (Trigger Module)
- XP100SD (3-zone Drum Pad)
NOTICE Before assembling the unit, lay a drum mat (sold separately).
Before assembling the unit, lay a drum mat on the oor. Alternately, to prevent
damaging your oor, lay the cardboard of the included packages, etc. on the
oor before assembling the two parts shown in the circles in Figure 1.

2 See Figure 3. Set up the electronic drum rack, with the YAMAHA logo label (a) on the curved
pipe
facing the opposite side from you. Support the electronic drum rack with your left
hand, and loosen the two knobs (b) and (c) on your right.
3 See Figure 4. Move the leg on your right (pipe ) in a counterclockwise direction until it is
about 90 degrees from the curved pipe with the YAMAHA logo label. Tighten the two knobs
loosened in step 2 and x the position of pipe
.
4 See Figure 3 again. Loosen the two knobs (d) and (e) on your left. The knob (d) is on the
opposite side of the pipe.
5 See Figure 4 again. Move the leg on your left (pipe ) all the way around the standing
vertical pipe in a counterclockwise direction until it is parallel with pipe
. Tighten the two
knobs loosened and x the position of pipe
.
NOTICE Be sure to move pipe in a counterclockwise direction. If you
move it in a clockwise direction, the slim pipes may collide and
bend.
* In the following steps, loosen the knobs rst, decide the position of the pipe, and then
tighten the knobs. Be careful not to tighten the knobs excessively. For better perfor-
mance, make minor adjustments for each part of the unit with the knobs after the as-
sembly is completed.
Figure 5: Rack Assembly-3
6 See Figure 5. Loosen the three knobs of pipe , which are on the left bottom and opposite
side from you (shown with
). Hold the area of pipe and shown with , and slide
pipe
so the further end of pipe will slide outward about 7 cm from the joint part with
the standing vertical pipe. In the same manner, loosen the three knobs of pipe
,
which are on the right bottom and opposite side from you. Slide pipe
so the further end
of pipe
will slide outward about 7 cm from the joint part with the standing vertical pipe.
Tighten the six knobs loosened and x the position of pipes
and .

.
9 Loosen the two knobs ((j) on the middle right) aligned at the base of pipe and the
knob ((k) on the lower right) of the slim pipe supporting pipe
. Move pipe in a
counterclockwise direction until it is about 90 degrees from the curved pipe with the
YAMAHA logo label. Tighten the three knobs loosened and x the position of pipe
and
the slim pipe supporting it.
10 Loosen the two knobs ((m) on the middle left) aligned at the base of pipe and the
knob ((n) on the lower left) on the slim pipe supporting pipe
, and move pipe in a
clockwise direction until it is about 45 degrees from the curved pipe with the YAMAHA logo
label. Tighten the three knobs loosened and x the position of pipe
and the slim pipe
supporting it.
NOTICE The pipes may bend when the area shown in collides.
11 Check that the entire electronic drum rack is stable. Hold the upper area of the vertical pipe
and , and shake them. If the electronic drum rack is unstable, retighten the knobs
tightened in steps 2 to 5.

• Watch your fingers when adjusting clamps. They may become pinched, resulting in injury.
• Be careful around pipe ends, inside the pipe and screw ends. Metal shavings, etc. may
injure your fingers.
• Do not put your hands or feet under the foot pedal or foot switch. They may be pinched,
resulting in injury.
• Do not attach acoustic drums to the electronic drum rack. Clamps may be damaged and
drums may drop, causing injury.
NOTICE
• Make sure you hold onto the plug, not the cable, when connecting or disconnecting the
cable. Also, never place any heavy or sharp objects on the cable. Applying excessive force to
the cable may result in damage to the cable, such as the wires being severed, etc.
