■ Relocating the Tuning Indicator
The timpani is shipped with a universal style tuning indicator already attached (performer's left side) however,
the tuning indicator can be relocated for German style tuning (performer's right side).
Using the supplied hex wrench, remove the two bolts holding the tuning indicator in place as shown in the
diagram below, then slide the bolts through the holes on the tuning indicator from the opposite side. In either
position, make sure that the note indicator bridge is easily viewable.

Transporting and Setting Up the Timpani
■ 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 surfaces
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.
