[. . . ] Pull out the stand in the direction of the arrow, and use the screws you removed earlier to fasten the stand. 1. Finger-tighten all of the tuning bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration. The appropriate amount of tension is one that will provide approximately the same striking response as on an acoustic drum. Use the drum key to adjust the tension as needed. * The TD-4 percussion sound module supports rim shots only for the snare. [. . . ] Position the foot plate so that the anchor bolts rest on the screw holes of the foot plate. 3. Turn the anchor bolts to adjust the height so that the entire kick pedal is in contact with the floor and that the KD-8 does not wobble even when you press the pedal to make the beater strike the pad. When adjusting the height, lift the stand slightly while turning the anchor bolts so that the foot plate is not fastened together with it. 4. Screw the anchor bolts into the screw holes of the foot plate to fasten it. If you're using a drum mat, the KD-8 will be more stable if the pointed portion of the anchor bolts protrudes from the foot plate. If you're not using a drum mat, take care not to tighten the anchor bolts too far, so that you do not damage the floor or carpet.
