Assembling the KD-85
Take care not to pinch your fingers between the KD-85
pad and the stand plate.
1. Place the KD-85 pad, with the head surface
facing downward, on a flat surface such as the
floor.
2. Use the included tuning key to loosen the bolts
for the bracket on the back of the KD-85 pad,
then open the bracket.
3. Mount the stay on the pad.
Align the mark on the stay with the protrusion of the
bracket, and use the tuning key to firmly tighten the bolts
that you loosened in step 2.

4. Loosen the leg nut.
5. Rotate the rubber foot to adjust the leg tip.
Adjust to use the spike legs when installing on carpeting
or other soft surfaces, or the rubber legs when installing
on flooring or other hard surfaces. When shipped from
the factory, the stand is adjusted for using the rubber
legs.

Install the legs as shown in the figure so that the ends of
the legs protrude by about 1/2"–1" (1–2 cm).

vertical to the floor. Then firmly tighten the T bolts.
