*  When assembling the stand, take care that it does not fall over.
*  When attaching the foot pipes, take care not to pinch your finger between 

the movable parts or between the foot pipes and the floor.

1. 

Lay the stand on the floor, and attach one of the foot pipes.

*  Do not insert your fingers or hands underneath the pedals or in the spring.
*  Be careful that the left and right foot pipes are located correctly.

Align with the screw 
holes.

Insert the screws 
from the underside 
of the stand, and 
fasten them evenly 
and securely.

Align the flat portion.

2. 

Flip the stand over, and attach the other foot pipe.

3. 

Use the clamp to fasten the pedal cable.

4. 

Set the stand upright.

*  Make sure the foot pipes are securely fastened to the 

stand. If not you risk to damage the stand or have 
stability problems.

1. 

Attach the cymbal pad.

1. 

For either the left pedal or 
right pedal, turn the adjuster 
clockwise (as seen from above) 
for the pedal that's not in firm 
contact with the floor.

1. 

Connect the cables to the pads and pedals.

2. 

If the stand's vertical support 
is still floating even after 
you've adjusted the left and 
right height, turn the rear 
adjuster.

2. 

Use the clamp to fasten the cymbal cable.

The labels affixed to the 
cables indicate the pad 
to which they should 
be connected. Make 
connections as shown in 
the illustration.

If the stand wobbles because the 
floor is not perfectly flat, use the 
adjusters (three locations) to adjust 
the height. In particular, when using 
the HD-3 on carpet, adjust these so 
that they are in firm contact with the 
floor. 

* Be careful not to pinch your 

fingers or hands when making 
these adjustments.

1. 

Seat Height

2. 

Adjust the height of the pad.

Adjust the height of the seat so that when 
your feet are on the pedals, your legs are 
parallel to the floor, as shown in the diagram.

This completes assembly and connections.

 

When you’ve finished making connections, turn on the power as described in the HD-3 Owner’s Manual, and 
verify that you can hear sound.

Adjust the height and position of each pad so you can play comfortably. 
Once you've got everything adjusted the way you want it, firmly tighten 
all the screws and knobs.

*  For details on setup for left-handed use, refer to p.21 of the Owner's Manual.

When using the HD-3, you must firmly tighten the knobs and screws. In particular, before performing, you should check to be 
sure that all knobs and screws are firmly tightened. If they are not tight, not only will you be unable to perform correctly, but your 
equipment or pads may fall down.
