IMPORTANT NOTES
Placement
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that
radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject
it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the
unit.
• When moved from one location to another where the temperature
and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may
form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt
to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you
must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has
completely evaporated.
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on this unit for
long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully
affect the finish.
Maintenance
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that
has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a
cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be
sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
As routine maintenance, you should wipe the striking surface using a
dry, soft cloth.
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid
the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the output jacks. Rough
handling can lead to malfunctions.
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector
itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts,
or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at
reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not
need to be concerned about those around you.
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds
produced when it’s played. However, since sound vibrations can be
transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected,
take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors,
especially when using headphones.
• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including
padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use
equivalent packaging materials.
• If the surface of the beater you are using is not clean, the material used
for the striking surface could get dirty. Before performances, make sure
that the beater is clean before you use it.
• All product names mentioned in this document are trademarks or
registered trademarks of their respective owners.

Setting Up the KD-9
Attaching the Kick Pedal
When Using a Twin Pedal
Position the two beaters equally apart from the
center of the pad as shown in the figure.
1. Attach the kick pedal.
Position the beater so that it strikes the center of the head,
then secure the kick pedal and KD-9 firmly in place.
If one of the beater is further away from the center
than the other, the sound from the further beater
will be lower in volume, or will not sound as
desired.
Using a twin pedal will result in lower sensitivity as
compared to when a single pedal is used. Raise the
sensitivity on the sound module.
Beater
Install the kick pedal
securely.
* Take care not to pinch your fingers.
Adjusting the Anchor Bolts
2. Step on the kick pedal and make sure that it’s
When using the kick pedal on a carpet or on a drum mat
(TDM series), the slip-prevention tape that’s on the base
should prevent the KD-9 from moving around.
properly attached and in a stable position.
Check to make sure that the base of the KD-9 and the kick
pedal both make contact with the floor.
However, if that’s not enough to keep the KD-9 in a fixed
position, you can adjust things so that the tips of the
anchor bolts protrude through the base. That should keep
it in place and make it easier for you to play.
* When used on flooring, the anchor bolts may damage
the floor. Adjust the anchor bolts correctly.
* The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care.

When using on the floor
When using on the carpet
or drum mat
Check to be sure they’re making contact with the floor
* Depending on how you’re using the unit, the bolts
that attach the pedal to the plate could become loose,
causing the pedal to rattle during performance.
In such cases, use commercially available tools to tighten
the bolts.

Module Parameter Settings
Connecting to a Percussion
Sound Module
Below you will find recommended trigger parameters
when using the KD-9 with various sound modules.
* To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers or
other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off
the power on all devices before making any connections.
The trigger parameters should be adjusted as necessary
to match the actual state of your configuration, and the
environment in which it is being used.
Use the connection cable to connect the KD-9 to your
percussion sound module (e.g., TD-20X).
* For details, refer to the owner’s manual for your percus-
sion sound module.
Connect the L-shaped plug of the cable to the KD-9’s
output jack.
