USING THE UNIT SAFELY
002b
• Do not open or perform any internal modifi-
cations on the unit. (The only exception
would be where this manual provides
specific instructions which should be
followed in order to put in place user-
installable options.)
..................................................................................................
003
• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace
parts within it (except when this manual
provides specific instructions directing you
to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer,
the nearest Roland Service Center, or an
authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the “Information.”
..................................................................................................
004
• Never install the unit in any of the following
locations.
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g.,
direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle,
near a heating duct, on top of heat-
generating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet
floors); or are
• Exposed to steam or smoke; or are
• Subject to salt exposure; or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty or sandy; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration and
shakiness.
..................................................................................................
007
• Make sure you always have the unit placed
so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never
place it on stands that could wobble, or on
inclined surfaces.
..................................................................................................
011
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable
material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind
(water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the
unit.
..................................................................................................
013
• In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is
capable of following all the rules essential
for the safe operation of the unit.
..................................................................................................
• To prevent accidents, never allow small
children to play near the stand.
..................................................................................................
014
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
..................................................................................................
104
• Try to prevent cords and cables from
becoming entangled. Also, all cords and
cables should be placed so they are out of
the reach of children.
..................................................................................................
106
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy
objects on the unit.
..................................................................................................
118c
• Keep any screws, washers, bolts, nuts,
tuning bolts, springs, hand knobs you may
remove and the included cable ties in a safe
place out of children’s reach, so there is no
chance of them being swallowed acciden-
tally.
..................................................................................................
• Make sure to firmly tighten all clamps and
bolts after you have assembled the stand
and attached a pad or unit to it. You should
probably also try to make a habit of
checking and retightening them if
necessary before every performance.
You risk injury if you have loose screws or
clamps, since a pad or unit can fall
unexpectedly.
..................................................................................................
• When setting up or storing the stand, be
careful not to pinch the fingers you use to
handle the stand.
..................................................................................................

If the drum stand is to be used for
extended periods in the same location,
we recommend using a Roland drum
mat (TDM-10/TDM-20) to prevent
discoloration of fl ooring by the rubber
feet.
*
Perform steps 3--6 of the assembly procedure with the stand laying down on the floor; do not place it upright yet.*
Regarding the way of mounting a Sound Module, Pads, or Cymbals, please refer to
the Owner’s Manual supplied with them.
The pad mount can be adjustable to slide through the
holder.
* Please keep the top of the pad mount over the holder
for securement in its adjustment.
Do not spread the stand wider than 1.0 meters (40 inches).
When the MDS-4 was shipped from the factory, it was configured for a right-
handed drummer. If you wish to make left-handed set up, contact the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor.
