CAUTION
The unit and the AC adaptor should
be located so their location or position
does not interfere with their proper
ventilation.
Always grasp only the plug on the AC
adaptor cord when plugging into, or
unplugging from, an outlet or this unit.
At regular intervals, you should unplug
the AC adaptor and clean it by using
a dry cloth to wipe all dust and other
accumulations away from its prongs.
Also, disconnect the power plug from
the power outlet whenever the unit
WARNING
is to remain unused for an extended
period of time. Any accumulation of
dust between the power plug and
the power outlet can result in poor
insulation and lead to fire.
Try to prevent cords and cables from
becoming entangled. Also, all cords and
cables should be placed so they are out
of the reach of children.
Never climb on top of, nor place heavy
objects on the unit.
Never handle the AC adaptor or its
plugs with wet hands when plugging
into, or unplugging from, an outlet or
this unit.
Before moving the unit, disconnect the
AC adaptor and all cords coming from
external devices.
Before cleaning the unit, turn off the
power and unplug the AC adaptor from
the outlet.
Whenever you suspect the possibility of
lightning in your area, disconnect the
AC adaptor from the outlet.
Be careful so you don't get your fingers
pinched when you handle any moving
parts such as the following. Adult
supervision is recommended whenever
small children use the unit.

* Be sure to adjust the head tension before use.
* Striking the head when the head tension is loose may damage the sensor and head.
* Do not apply excessive force to the sensor and cushion located under the head.
Doing so can interfere with accurate detection, and may damage it.
* Due to the nature of the materials used in the sensor, changes in room temperature may affect the sensitivity of the
sensor.
* The head and the rim rubber are expendable items that eventually will wear out and need to be replaced. Replace the
head when the following occurs:
Slack portions remain in the head even when the head tension is properly adjusted.
Rim shots may not be performed correctly when the rim rubber is worn out. If this occurs, replace the rim rubber. Consult
Roland Service for more on replacing the rim rubber.
4.
Use a drum key to loosen the bolt securing the pad to the pipe.
5.
Remove the tom pad from the pipe.
When removing a tom pad from the pipe, be very careful when
disconnecting and pulling the cable through the pad mount bracket.

Mounting a Tom Pad
This is basically a reverse operation of the detaching process. But when re-
fitting the pads to the pipes, be careful to align the grooves in the pipe
with the triangular protrusions of the pad. The pads can be fitted to three
pitch(angle) positions.

Detaching the Pedal Unit
To detach the pedal unit, reverse the procedure described in
the Foot
Pipes" (other side).
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables,
grasp the connector itself—never pull on the
cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts,
or damage to the cable's internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to
keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels.
You may prefer to use headphones, so you
do not need to be concerned about those
around you.
• This instrument is designed to minimize
the extraneous sounds produced when it's
played. However, since sound vibrations can
be transmitted through floors and walls to
a greater degree than expected, take care
not to allow these sounds to become a
nuisance to neighbors, especially when using
headphones.
• When you need to transport the unit, pack-
age it in the box (including padding) that it
came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need
to use equivalent packaging materials.
• Some connection cables contain resistors.
Do not use cables that incorporate resistors

cables can cause the sound level to be
extremely low, or impossible to hear. For
information on cable specifications, contact
the manufacturer of the cable.
• Due to the structure of this product, it is
possible for pets or other small animals to
enter the openings of the pedals. If this
should occur, immediately turn off the power,
disconnect the AC adaptor from the outlet,
and consult your dealer or a Roland service
center
• When you operate the pedals, please be
careful not to get your fingers pinched
between the movable part and the panel.
In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is
capable of following all the rules essential for
the safe operation of the unit.

cymbals. If you are bothered by the smell of
rubber, please ventilate the room. Do not
place this product near heating equipment.
