Precautions When Installing the Equipment
CAUTION
WARNING
Make sure screws are tightened securely.
Screws should be tightened securely to keep the equipment from falling over or dropping during performance. On models where gears are used for angle adjustments, make sure the gears are meshed before securing them. Applying excessive force without the gears being meshed properly could result in vibration during performance which could cause the cymbals or any other equipment to fall from their stands.
CAUTION
Be careful not to scratch or damage the floor surface.
The b ass drum spurs, hi-hat st and s, and bass d rum pe dal s have shar p e n e d a n c h o r s w h i c h prev e n t th e m f rom s l i p p i n g d u r i n g performance. Handle these carfully when setting up the equipment, in order to avoid injury. Also, the rubber tips used on the stands and on the legs of the bass drum and the floor tom may cause discoloration of the floor surface if left in place for long periods of time. We recommend installing the drum set on a thick carpet or a specially designed drum mat in order t o avoid damage to the floor surface, the carpet, and other flooring.
Make sure the equipment cannot fall over.
The dr um hardwa re is s upporte d by means o f a tripod. When installing the drum set, make sure the legs of the tripod are opened wide enough to keep the equipment from falling over. With a boom stand, if the boom section is being used in the extended position, one of the tripod legs should be extended in the same direction as the boom section, for added stab ility. If you are using clamps on th e c ymbal stands and attaching tomtoms, the tom-toms should be set up with one leg extended directly upwards, for added stability.
Precautions When Handling the Equipment
WARNING
Do not use the equipment for any purpose other than performance.
The individual drums, as well as the stands and other a ccessories, contain many metal parts. The stands are particularly heavy, and can be dangerous if used for anything other than the intended purpose.
Do not allow children or others to play near a drum set.
Numerous stands are set up around a drum set. Children or o thers playing near a drum set are at risk for bumping into the components of the drum set or tripping and falling over them. Please be particularly careful not to allow children to play near a drum set.
Stay away from the drum set if an earthquake occurs.
A strong vibration such as an earthquake can cause the drum set to shift or fall over. If an earthquake should occur, be sure to stay well clear of the drum set.
Never use drum sticks for anything other than playing the drums.
Drum sticks and wire brushes are intended for playing the drums. Never hit people with them or throw them at people. This can be extremely dangerous.
Be careful of broken drum sticks.
Drum sticks are made of wood. If they break while you are performing, fragments and splinters can go flying, possibly causing injury.

Multi-clamp
Be careful not to bother others.
Playing the drum set produces a lot of loud sounds and vibration. Be careful to arrange practice times so as not to bother others nearby.
Be careful of oil on screws and bolts.
The screw s in the ma in unit an d t he stand s are lubr icated w ith grease . W hen transporting or setting up the equipment, be careful not to get grease on your clothing.
Watch out for rust and deterioration of metal parts.
Metal parts become rusty and scratched through use. Be careful not to scratch yourself on a rusted or scratched part. Do not operate a drum pedal or hi-hat stand pedal with your bare feet.
Always support the upper part of a tom holder or stand when adjusting it.
Loosening a screw too quickly when adjusting the height or angle of a tom-tom or a cymbal may allow the tom or cymbal to fall, pinching or injuring your fingers. Use one hand to securely support the tom-tom or tilter while you loosen the screw with care.
Be careful when folding up the tripods.
When storing the tripods of stands and other equipment, be careful not to let your fingers get pinched or caught.
Do not put fingers or other objects into pipes.
Wh en rem oving p ipe s fo r st orag e or when s etti ng up t he equipment, your fingers could be injured if you put them into the pipes. Never put your fingers into pipes unless absolutely necessary, and then be extremely careful.
Slide
Be careful of the projecting parts of stands.
Stands have a lot of protruding parts such as screws and boom arms. When setting up the equipment, be careful not to bump these projecting parts with your face or head, to avoid injury.
Never stand on the drum chair or use it as a stepping stool.
Standing on the drum chair or using it as a stepping stool could cause it to fall over or break. Never use the drum chair for anything other than its designated purpose, which is for sitting while playing.
Do not sit on the drum seat when adjusting its height.
Adjusting the height of the drum seat while sitting on it can cause accidents such as pinched fingers or the seat dropping suddenly, causing back injuries. When adjusting the height, always stand up from the seat.
Be careful of snappy wires suddenly giving way.
The snappy wires (resonating wires) on the back of the snare drum are consumable items and wear out over time. If a wire comes loose at one end and is left hanging, it can prick your fingers or snap into your eye when you are moving or setting up the equipment. Use nippers or another tool to cut off protruding wires, and replace them with new ones as quickly as possible.
Snappy
Precautions Regarding Storage
NOTE
Avoid locations with high temperatures and high humidity.
Leaving the drum set in a car, or in a place where it is exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time, can cause the covering sheet to come loose, or the plywood on the drum shell to come off. In order to maintain the superior performance of the drum set, store it carefully in a safe place.
Metal parts should be wiped with a dry cloth from time to time.
To prevent rust, metal parts of the drums and stands should be wiped with a dry cloth from time to time.
