Spring Tension Adjustment
The P-2050C / P-2050B Pedal features our patented Click
Lock spring tension retention system. To adjust the spring
tension, disable the Click Lock by lifting the lever upward
(Fig.6-B) and loosen the Upper Nut shown in (Fig. 6-A). To
increase spring tension, turn the Lower Nut clockwise. To
decrease spring tension turn the Lower Nut
counter-clockwise. Once desired spring tension is
achieved, tighten the Upper Nut against pedal frame firmly.
To secure the setting, lower the Click Lock lever to engage
the grooves around the Lower Nut until you feel the lever
"Click.” Before playing, make sure that both Upper and
Lower Nuts are tight and the Click Lock lever is in a vertical
position with both sides of the lever engaged in the grooves
around the Lower Nut (Fig.7).

CAUTION
Recommended for carpeted surfaces only. Use on hard flooring
may result in damage to the surface from spikes. Check to ensure
spikes are retracted when used on these surfaces.
Hoop Clamp system
To attach your pedal to the bass drum, slide the bass drum
hoop between the Hoop Clamp and the bottom lip of the
pedal. Square the pedal and tighten the Wing Bolt to
secure the pedal to the bass drum hoop. The Hoop Clamp
system is fully adjustable and comes preset from the
factory to accommodate a variety of hoop thicknesses. To
adjust, use the hexagonal wrench provided to loosen the
Allen Screw on the side of the Adjustment Knob. Rotate the
Adjustment Knob until proper fit is achieved then tighten the
Allen Screw to secure setting (Fig. 10).

If the heel of the pedal lifts while playing, loosen the Adjustment
Knob to cha nge the angle of the Hoop Clamp until the pedal
remains flat.
Interchangeable Cam System
Our exclusive Cam System provides four interchangeable
color-coded cams (black, white, blue and red ) allowing
you to quickly change the power and feel of the pedal to
suit your individual playing style. From the factory, the Black
Cam is mounted to the P-2050C Chain Drive Pedal; the Red
Cam is mounted to P-2050B Belt Drive Pedal. To change
Cams, push the Release Button on the Wheel housing and
remove the Cam as shown (Fig.11). To attach the Cam, it is
not necessary to press the Release Button, simply snap the
Cam onto the Wheel as shown (Fig.12). Check to make
sure that the Cam is seated correctly and is secure to the
Wheel housing.
Traction Grip and Traction Plate Adjustment
The Traction Grip dots can be totally removed or inserted
as needed to custom tailor the amount of traction for your
personal playing style. To remove the Traction Grip dots,
loosen the Allen Screws holding the Traction Plate with the
provided hexagonal wrench and remove the Traction Plate
from the footboard (Fig.13). The Traction Plate is also
reversible to provide just the right amount of grip at either
the front or rear of the footboard (Fig.14).

Do not force the Cam onto the Wheel. If needed adjust the position
of the Cam to fit properly.
Do not use the pedal without the Cam attached, damage may
occur.
Included 4 Optional 2
Black Blue PurpleRed
Black : Linear Action Cam
This is Pearl's original "perfect circle" Cam design. It offers super ior
power and a very natural, perfectly balanced action and smooth feel.
White : Oversized Linear Cam
The White Cam is a slightly over sized "perfect circle" Cam. It offers a
very natural, smooth action, with great power and balance, with a
slightly lighter pedal feel.
Blue : Progressive Cam
This is the very popular "off-center" axis type Cam design. It offers a
light feel in the beginning that accelerates with speed and power upon
impact.
Red : Radical Progressive Cam
The Red Cam features an extreme "off-center" axis design. The action
is similar to the Blue Cam but with a lighter feel at the beginning of the
stroke.
Purple : Aggressive Action Cam
The Purple Cam provides aggressive acceleration for huge power and
response, second only to the Red Cam. (CAM-PL)
Yellow : Inverse Action Cam
The Yellow Cam provides a slight inverse action. When maximum
power is required, this is the Cam of choice. (CAM-YL)

Note
When putting the Traction Plate back, finger-tighten the four screws
to prevent cross-threading; then tighten the screws securely.
Do not use the Pedal without the Traction Plate mounted. It could
cause injury to your foot.
PowerShifter
The PowerShifter function allows you to change the feel and
action of the pedal by shifting the footboard position back
and forth. To change the position, loosen the Key Bolt in the
heel of the footboard and move the footboard to the
desired position: A, B or C. Tighten the Key Bolt again
(Fig.15).

Make sure that the heel is flush with the Power Plate to prevent
damage to the pedal.
Rubber Mats
To maximize traction of the rubber mats underneath the
Power Plate keep them clean and dust free using a damp
cotton towel.
Optional Items (sold separately)
・ Belt Assembly (BCA-250) / Chain Assembly (CCA-5)
Both the Belt and Chain Assemblies are interchangeable
on all Eliminator pedals to provide easy conversion from
chain or belt drive.
・ Oil (OL-300)
The P-2050C / P-2050B Pedal features precision NiNjA
bearings for incredible speed and smoothness. To keep
them functioning at their maximum speed and
performance it's recommended that you apply genuine
NiNjA Oil at regular intervals (Fig.16).

CAUTION
Periodically check all Allen Screws for tightness and
tighten them with the provided hexagonal wrench as
needed.
Periodically apply lube to all moving parts such as the
Chain, Cam Roller, Footboard Hinge, etc. for optimal
speed and extended life of your pedal.
Only use NiNjA Oil on NiNjA bearings.
