•
Do not place the stand on uneven surfaces. The stand may be-
come unstable and/or overturn, and result in possible injury.
•
Do not lean on, or ride upon the instrument stand. The stand
may move and cause a fall resulting in injury.
•
Do not rough play, etc. in the vicinity of the stand. Bodily
harm may result by falling onto the stand. Rough play may
also result in the instrument being overturned. Also, keep
children from playing in the vicinity of the stand.
•
Strong earthquakes may cause the stand to move about or
overturn. Stay away from the stands during earthquakes.
•
Use the stand’s casters to move the instrument on flat, even
surfaces only. (Lock the casters when the instrument is
not to be moved.)
1. In order to keep the bass drum from rotating on its axis,
firmly secure the bass drum in a vertical position in the
stand.
2. On inclined, rough, or gravel surfaces the instrument may
overturn and/or become uncontrollable.
CAUTION
3. Do not run while moving the instrument. The stand may
become uncontrollable and crash into other objects re-
sulting in injury.
•
Due to this instruments heavy weight, two or more persons
are necessary in the assembly of the stand.
•
Do not touch the moving parts. Fingers and hands can get
caught in the moving parts.
•
Do not use the stand in the rain. If the stand becomes wet,
use a soft dry cloth to wipe the stand as soon as possible.
•
Always use a soft, dry cloth to clean the stand as a part of
periodic maintenance. Never use thinner, benzene, or other
similar solvents to clean the stand.
•
If the instrument is frequently moved, the bolts will become
loose over time. Check bolts regularly and firmly tighten any
loose bolts found.
<Regarding the Use of Calf Heads>
◆ As changes in temperature and humidity have a great effect on the tension of calf heads,
please pay attention to the following points.
• If possible, tune the head just before playing.
• As tension generally lowers when humidity is high, slightly over tune the head.
• The head may become warped if the head is loosened when the drum is not in use, so
please make sure head tension is maintained even when the drum is not used.
◆ When mounting (replacing) new calf heads on the drum, first wipe the area of the calf head
that comes in contact with the shell edge using a slightly damp cloth, then mount the head
and tighten the tuning rods equally. Tune the head after it has dried. This procedure im-
proves contact between the calf head and the drum shell.
◆ As long as the tension is not needlessly raised or lowered, the calf head should maintain in
good condition for a long period of time.
To mount your new bass drum on an older model stand (CB800A series/CBF30A series,
DB800B series/CBF30B series), please purchase the optional stand retrofit kit (sold sepa-
rately) that fits your bass drum’s size (inches) and replace the Base Pipes (x2) and Lock
Handles (x2) on your bass drum stand with those supplied in the kit.

Exchanging the Base Pipes
Base pipe should be replaced by at
least two persons on a level surface.
1.
Remove the base pipes from your stand. Re-
fer to the illustration below and use the hex-
wrench to completely remove the bolts used
to attach the base pipes to the stand, along
with the flat washers and spring washers.
2.
Insert the base pipes supplied with the BS800C
Stand Retrofit Kit into the holes on the stand base
and use the hex-wrench to partially tighten the
four (4) bolts into the base pipe ends. After all
four (4) bolts are loosely tightened into the base
pipes, tighten all four bolts firmly.
* Both base pipes are the same.
* Please replace all bolts, flat washers, and
spring washers on your drum stand with
those supplied with the retrofit kit.
* Fully tightening the bolts without
first loosely tightening the bolts
into the base pipes will result in
damaged threads in the base pipes
and a misshapen stand.
