6 Turn the timpani over and extend and secure the other leg. Make sure that the marks on the sliding leg are aligned with the slit in the leg holder. 7 Return the timpani to an upright position, and then adjust the length of the left and right legs. 8 When it comes time to store or pack up the tim- pani, simply reverse the setup procedure order. Caution Make sure your fingers do not get pinched between the pedal and kettle when folding the pedal or pedal base. Serious injury can result if fingers or feet become pinched. ■ Adjusting Pedal Height Loosen the stopper and use the height adjustment screw to adjust pedal height. After determining the height, tighten the stopper to secure. Transporting and Setting Up the Timpani ■ Transporting When moving the timpani over a distance, such as from room to room, make sure that the instrument is carried by at least two persons. The casters on the sliding legs are convenient when moving the timpani short distances over smooth surfaces such as when changing stage setups, etc. To move the timpani, unlock the casters, then slightly lift the timpani by the lugs so that the pedal frame is off of the ground and slowly move the timpani forward or backward as shown in the illustration below. Be careful not to damage the legs while moving the timpani. * Damage may occur if the timpani is dropped or falls from a high place. Height Adjustment Screw Stopper ■ Relocating the Tuning Indicator The timpani is shipped with a universal style tuning indicator already attached (performer's left side) however, the tuning indicator can be relocated for German style tuning (performer's right side). Using the supplied hex wrench, remove the two bolts holding the tuning indicator in place as shown in the diagram below, then slide the bolts through the holes on the tuning indicator from the opposite side. In either position, make sure that the note indicator bridge is easily viewable. Universal Style Attachment German Style Attachment Tuning Indicator Bolt Tuning Indicator Bolt 5
