Transporting and Setting Up the Timpani
n
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 sur-
faces 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.
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 be-
come pinched.

Attaching the Key/Wrench Holder
Insert the key/wrench holder into the mounting
bracket on the side of the timpani opposite of the
tuning indicator. Once installed it can be used to
hold the tuning key and allen wrench.
* Peel off the protective paper on the adhe-
sive tape on the backside of the holder,
and firmly attach the holder to the mount-
ing bracket.
