PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to
you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property.
When children use the product, make sure that a guardian provides through instruction as given in this man-
ual. Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or
damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Tighten all screws securely once adjustments have
been made. If any screw is loose there is a danger that
the drum may slip during performances or extraneous
noises may be produced.
• To adjust the carrier use the provided tools only. Fail-
ure to do so can cause the instrument falling over or
result in injury.
• When tilting up the instrument always hold the instru-
ment with your hand as it might flip back and injure
bystanders.
• When tilting the instrument up or returning it to the
playing position, keep your hands away from areas
marked A as shown in the illustration. Hands and/or
fingers can get caught in this area resulting in injury.
• Do not engage in any operation other than playing
instrument while wearing the carrier. This may cause
loss of balance and result in injury.
• When taking off and putting down the carrier or the
carrier with the instrument mounted, do so gently. Do
not drop or throw the carrier or the carrier with the
instrument mounted.
• Always take suitable breaks when using the carrier for
a long period of time. Using the carrier when fatigued
can cause injury.
• If some of the parts are broken and/or lost, immedi-
ately stop using the carrier. Using a defective carrier
can cause injury.

Handling cautions
Yamaha cannot be responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument.

Handling
• The black coatings on the surface might be removed by friction. This is no problem and does not
affect the functionality or durability of the product.
• Always use the carrier with all the bolts securely tightened. Failure to do so can cause the instru-
ment to fall over or loss of parts of the carrier.
• When tilting up the instrument make sure that the instrument does not hit against the carrier. Failure
to do so can cause damage to the instrument or the parts of the carrier.
• Avoid using the carrier in the rain whenever possible. If the carrier does get wet, wipe it with a soft,
dry cloth as soon as possible. Leaving the carrier wet can result in it becoming rusted.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the carrier, use a soft and dry cloth. Do not use benzine or paint thinners. Doing so
might cause damage to the paint surface.
• You can remove the pads and belt from the carrier and wash them at home. When washing the
pads and belt, do not put them in a dryer at high temperatures. Doing so might deform the pads and
belt.

Setting the Bass Drum
Mounting should be carried out by at least
two persons.

the drummer's body, open both the holder's right
and left support arms so they are centered and hold
the body of the drum firmly in place.
Also, when making adjustments, make sure that the
holder itself does not come into contact with the
drum body and lugs.
The height of the instrument can be changed by
reversing the arms.
To reverse the arms, reposition the rubber sup-
