Transporting and Setting Up the Timpani

■ Setting up the Timpani

The TP-3100(EA) series features a folding design to

reduce the space required to store or transport the tim-

pani. Use the procedure described below when setting

up or storing the timpani.

Caution

Never place your fingers or foot into the mov-

ing parts or the space under the pedal or base.

Serious injury can result if fingers or feet be-

come pinched.

First make sure that the

casters are locked (Fig. A).

Then with the timpani posi-

tioned as shown in the illus-

tration below, use both

hands to loosen the left and

right side lock bolts. Loosen

the bolts until the large

metal washer comes out of

the guide hole. (Fig. B)

Lower the pedal section until the large metal

shown in Fig. C and then tighten the lock bolt.

Tighten until the large metal washer shown in Fig.

B fits completely into the guide hole.

Lay the timpani on its side, grasp the leg lock bolt

handle and loosen the leg lock bolt.

Slowly extend the sliding leg then tighten the leg

lock bolt at the chosen length. Make sure that the

marks on the sliding leg are aligned with the slit

in the leg holder. The casters may not function

properly if the marks are misaligned. Make sure

the marks are properly aligned.
