Make sure that the marks on the sliding leg are aligned with the slit in the leg holder. Return the timpani to an upright position, and then adjust the length of the left and right legs. When it comes time to store or pack up the timpani, simply reverse the setup procedure order. Caution Transporting When moving the timpani over a distance, such as from room to room, make sure that the instrument is carried by at least two persons. The casters on the sliding legs are convenient when moving the timpani short distances over smooth surfaces such as when changing stage setups, etc. To move the timpani, unlock the casters, then slightly lift the timpani by the lugs so that the pedal frame is off of the ground and slowly move the timpani forward or backward as shown in the illustration below. Be careful not to damage the legs while moving the timpani. * Damage may occur if the timpani is dropped or falls from a high place. Make sure your fingers do not get pinched between the pedal and kettle when folding the pedal or pedal base. Serious injury can result if fingers or feet become pinched. Adjusting Pedal Height Loosen the stopper and use the height adjustment screw to adjust pedal height. Loosen the head as described in step 7 (*1). Move the pedal into an intermediate position, as shown in Fig. D , and remover your foot from the pedal. Confirm that the pedal stays in this position and does not move. If the pedal stops in this position, adjustment is complete. Return the pedal to the position shown in Fig. · If the toe of the pedal moves downward Repeat steps 8 through 10. · If the heel of the pedal moves downward Head is tightened too much. Loosen the head as described in step 7. 11 29", 32" 23", 26" 6 Take your foot off the pedal. · Heel still moves up Repeat steps 4 through 6.

When the pitch is approximately the same at each bolt, repeatedly depress the toe and heel of the pedal several times. Repeat steps 3 through 5 until the pitch at each bolt is exactly the same. Check the sound by striking the head as described in step 2. [. . . ]
