Assembling the KP125W
1.
Align the mark on each leg q with the mark on the leg base w as shown in the figure below.
Place a washer r on each wing bolt e, and firmly tighten the wing bolts to secure the legs to the pad unit.
When playing the KP125W, lower the anti-slip stoppers t, y so that they can grip the platform or floor. If,
however, the floor surface must not be marked or scratched, remove anti-slip stoppers t and retract the
pointed tips of anti-slip stoppers y by turning the rubber legs housing them. When anti-slip stoppers are
rendered ineffective in this way, the pad unit will be more likely to move during performances. We recom-
mend, therefore, that a mat or the like be used instead to protect the floor.
CAUTION
• The pointed tips of the anti-slip stoppers are sharp. Special care should, therefore, be taken when turning
the rubber legs.
2.
Connect your foot pedal to the KP125W.
CAUTION
• Be sure to support the KP125W unit by hand when connecting or disconnecting a foot pedal in order to pre-
vent it from toppling over.
3.
Adjust the length of the legs.
Loosen each of the bolts u using a drum key, and with the foot pedal connected, set the length of the legs such that
the striking surface of the KP125W is vertical. When this step has been completed, securely tighten the bolts u.
After adjusting the length of the legs, press down the foot pedal and check for contact between the pedal
unit and the KP125W unit as the pad is hit. If contact is made, readjust the length of the legs and securely
tighten the bolts u.
4.
Adjust the position of the foot pedal and the length of the foot pedal's beater i such that the beater makes contact
with the center of the pad o.
Double foot pedals (such as those of the Yamaha DFP Series) can be used with the KP125W. If using such a
pedal, adjust the position of the foot pedals and the lengths of the two beaters i such that the central point
between the beaters roughly coincides with the center of the pad o as shown in Figure A.
CAUTION
• Storage Precautions
If storing the KP125W with no foot pedal connected, be sure to disconnect the cable going to the tone gen-
erator module and lay the pad unit flat with the striking surface facing upwards. If these precautions are not
observed, the KP125W unit could topple over and damage the cable.
