Assembly Manual

This manual describes the standard assembly of the DTX550K. After assembling the parts and connecting the cords as shown in Figure 1, the

unit is ready to be turned on.

* To assemble the unit, make sure you have the following four packages:

- RS85A (Electronic Drum Rack)

- DTP502 (Pad Set)

- DTX500 (Trigger Module)

- XP100SD (3-zone Drum Pad)

NOTICE Before assembling the unit, lay a drum mat (sold separately).

Before assembling the unit, lay a drum mat on the oor. Alternately, to prevent damaging your oor, lay the cardboard of the included packages, etc. on the oor before assembling the two parts shown in the circles in Figure 1.

NOTICE Be sure to move pipe in a counterclockwise direction. If you

move it in a clockwise direction, the slim pipes may collide and bend.

* In the following steps, loosen the knobs rst, decide the position of the pipe, and then

tighten the knobs. Be careful not to tighten the knobs excessively. For better performance, make minor adjustments for each part of the unit with the knobs after the assembly is completed.
