Playing the instrument without the main and auxiliary brakes engaged can result in the in-strument moving about during the performance. It can also be a source of noise. Adjusting the pedal, tuning, and adjusting the PAC system can also be very dangerous if done without the brakes engaged. The instrument unexpectedly moving or falling over can lead to injury.

Stop using the instrument immediately if you notice any abnormality in the auxiliary brake. Also, release the main and auxiliary brakes be-fore moving the instrument.

3 After completingadjustment, engage the lockbyturningthelocknutclockwise.

PAC Handling Precautionsl Even with the PAC system adjusted to its

heaviest setting, the pedal is not “locked” in place so do not use a heavy setting to prevent the pedal from jumping when re-moving the head.

l There is a limit to how far the PAC adjust-ment knob can be turned clockwise. Do not force the knob if it becomes difficult to turn. Doing so may damage the mechanism.

SpringTension Adjustment Bolt

TimpaniTuningKey

Never place your fingers or feet into the spaces underneath the pedal, the base por-tion of the instrument, or between moving parts such as the casters. Serious injury can result if fingers or feet become pinched.

Do not loosen the spring tension adjust-ment bolt by more than 3 rotations at a time, as the toe of the pedal tends to drop abruptly after a specific point.

2 Loosen the tension rods on opposite sides of the timpani and remove thehead.We recom-mend that you mark the pedal side of the hoop withapieceoftape,etc.sothatthehoopcanbe reattached to the same position.

* Avoid touching the tension rod threads, as they are greased.

3 Removethehoopandheadtogether.

* Do not let the hoop come in contact with the bearing edge, etc.

6 Adjust the timpani asdescribedonpage18“Initial Preparation” startingwith step2. For precise tuning, refer to thesection“Adjusting the Pitch”onpage20.

Interval for head replacementWhen the head is slightly tensioned and its surface looks wavy or shows dents, it is time to replace the head with a new one. The maximum head life normally is ap-proximately 2 years and depends on the frequencyanddurationofuse.However,the head should always be replaced before thesoundqualitydeterioratesdramatically.If a head is left on and used more than two years, the following problems may occur:

• Itmaybecomedifficulttotunetheheadto the proper pitch range.

• Itmaybecomedifficult tobalance thepedal.

• Themainunitmechanisms themselvesmay become damaged.

Yamaha recommends replacing the head every year.

Replacing the Head

BlockofWood,etc.

Never touch the pedal assembly when loosening the tension rods (when loos-ening thehead).Also,neverplaceyourfingers or feet in the space under the pedal, around the base, or the moving parts. Spring tension may cause the pedal to suddenly move posing a great danger.
