Assembly Manual

This manual describes the process of assembling a drum-pad set and drum trigger module to an already assembled RS502
Electronic Drum Rack. Before starting the steps below, therefore, be sure to assemble your RS502 as described in the Owner’s
Manual that came with it.
IMPORTANT
Before starting assembly, lay a drum mat (sold separately) on the floor. Alternatively, you can
place cardboard from the drum kit packaging or the like on the floor to prevent it from being
scratched. This is particularly important when using the HS650A Hi-hat Stand and KP100
Kick Pad.
NOTE
If using double foot pedals and want to position them relatively far apart from one another,
please setup as shown below.

The purpose of the precautions detailed below is to ensure that this electronic drum kit can be used safely without fear of injury or property damage. As a means of indicating the severity and immediacy
of any risk of injury or property damage resulting from incorrect operation, these precautions are classified as either WARNING or CAUTION. The instructions displayed together with these precautions
are extremely important in terms of ensuring safety, and therefore, they should be fully observed.
* After reading this Assembly Manual, ensure that it is kept in a safe, convenient location for future reference.
* Be sure to also read the Assembly Manuals and/or Owner’s Manuals that came with your pads and rack.
NOTICE:
Usage Precautions
• When connecting and disconnecting cables, be sure to hold the plug and not the cable itself. In addition,
avoid placing heavy items on top of cables and do not allow them to touch sharp edges. Failure to avoid
these precautions can lead to cable breakage and disconnection.
• Do not climb onto the electronic drum kit and avoid placing heavy objects on it. Failure to observe this pre-
caution can result in malfunction.
• Avoid using or storing the electronic drum kit in very hot locations (i.e., in direct sunlight, in close proximity to
a heater, or in a closed vehicle) or in highly humid locations (i.e., in a bathroom or outdoors in wet weather).
Failure to observe this precaution can lead to warping, discoloration, malfunction, or breakdown.
• Avoid cleaning the electronic drum kit with organic solvents, paint thinner, or alcohol as these substances
can cause warping and discoloration. Instead, we recommend you remove dust using a soft dry cloth or
wipe clean using a moist, tightly-wrung cloth. If the electronic drum kit is very dirty, first wipe the dirt away
using a cloth moistened with a neutral detergent solution and tightly wrung. Following this, wipe away the
detergent solution using a cloth soaked in water and tightly wrung.
Safety Precautions
Please read carefully before proceeding.
Failure to observe the precautions described below can result in se-
rious injury or even death.
• Young children using this electronic drum kit should be supervised by a guardian to eliminate any
possibility of injury.
• Holders for cymbal and tom pads have sharp tips. In order to avoid injury, therefore, you should
take special care whenever handling these components.
• The anti-slip stoppers on kick pads and foot pedals have sharp tips. In order to avoid injury, there-
fore, you should take special care whenever handling these components.
• Be sure to securely tighten nuts and other fasteners when setting up this electronic drum kit. In
addition, be sure to proceed slowly when loosening nuts. If this precaution is not observed, pads
may fall off or the rack may collapse or fall over, possibly causing injury.
• Do not setup this electronic drum kit on a slope, on an unstable platform, or on any other unsafe
surface. If this precaution is not observed, it may topple over or fall, possibly causing injury.
• Whenever setting up this electronic drum kit, ensure that cables and the like are arranged safely. If
someone were to trip on a cable, the kit could topple over and cause injury.
• Under no circumstances should this electronic drum kit be disassembled or customized. Failure to
observe this precaution can result in injury or malfunction.
• Do not sit or stand on the rack. Doing so could cause it to fall over or break, possibly causing injury.
WARNING
Failure to observe the precautions described below can result in in-
jury and/or property damage.
• Mind your fingers when adjusting clamps. They can easily be crushed if care is not taken during
this operation.
• Be careful with the tips of supports, arms, screws, and the like. Fingers can easily be injured by
sharp tips if these components are not handled carefully.
• Do not place hands or feet under a kick pad or foot pedal. Doing so could result in injury.
• Do not use the electronic drum kit’s rack to hold acoustic drums. Doing so could cause clamps to
break and the drums to fall off, which in turn could lead to injury.
