NOTICE

NOTICE Before assembling the unit, lay a drum mat (sold separately). Before assembling the unit, lay a drum mat on the floor. Alternately, to prevent damaging your floor, lay the cardboard of the included packages, etc. on the floor before assembling the two parts shown in the circles in Figure 1. Figure 1: Unit Standard Assembly
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. Do not step on or place heavy objects on the product. It may result in damage. Do not use or keep the product in places with extremely high temperature (places in direct sunlight, close to a heater, in a closed car, etc.) or high humidity (bathroom, outside on a rainy day, etc.). Doing so may result in deformation, discoloration, damage or deterioration. When cleaning the product, do not use benzine, thinner or alcohol as it may result in discoloration or deformation. Please wipe with a soft cloth or a damp cloth that has been wrung out thoroughly. If the product is soiled or sticky, use a neutral detergent on a cloth then wipe with a damp cloth that has been wrung out thoroughly to remove any remaining detergent. Also pay close attention so as not to let the water and detergent come into contact with the cushions used in the product; doing so may result in deterioration.
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 fix 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 fix the position of pipe.
12 See Figure 7. Loosen the knobs of the cymbal holders
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 first, decide the position of the pipe, and then tighten the knobs. Be careful not to tighten the knobs excessively. For better performance, make minor adjustments for each part of the unit with the knobs after the assembly is completed.

WARNING

If this symbol is ignored and the equipment is used improperly, fatal injury to persons or serious damage could occur.
Figure 3: Rack Assembly-1
Do not let small children assemble or set up this product by themselves, or they may be injured. Always assemble this product with adult supervision. Be careful with the edges of the cymbal holders and the tom holders. The sharp holder ends may result in injury. Be careful with the edges of the spurs attached to the base. The sharp spur ends may result in injury. If this product is used with the electronic drum rack or a cymbal stand, make sure all bolts are tightened firmly. Also, when adjusting the height or angle, do not suddenly loosen the bolts. Loose bolts may result in the rack overturning or parts dropping, causing injury. Always set the product on a flat and solid surface. Placement on a sloping, unstable surface or on steps may result in the product being unstable and subject to overturning. When setting the product, please pay close attention to the handling and setting of cables. Carelessly placed cables may cause the user and others to trip and fall. Do not alter the product. Doing so may result in injury or damage/deterioration to the product. Do not sit or step on the rack. The rack may overturn or be damaged, resulting in injury.
