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 timpani. Use the procedure described below when setting up or storing the timpani. Caution Never place your fingers or foot into the moving parts or the space under the pedal or base. Serious injury can result if fingers or feet become pinched. 1 First make sure that the casters are locked (Fig. A). Then with the timpani positioned as shown in the illustration 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.
