Transporting and Setting Up the Timpani

■ Setting up the Timpani

The TP-3100(EA) series features a folding design to
reduce the space required to store or transport the tim-
pani. Use the procedure described below when setting
up or storing the timpani.
Caution
Never place your fingers or foot into the mov-
ing parts or the space under the pedal or base.
Serious injury can result if fingers or feet be-
come pinched.
