TAMA Iron Cobra Drum Pedal - Manuel (Page 2)

Maintenance
• To maintain a smoother action for extended
period of time, wipe clean as necessary with a
dry cloth. Periodically lubricate the chain (using
TAMA tune-up oil TOL2) to prevent rust. Note
that bearings and hinges are lubrication-free
design and do not require lubrication.
• The fixing screw in the back side of the
under plate or fixing bolts of other parts may
become loose due to vibration during playing
or transport. Please retighten as necessary
using the attached wrench or a Phillips head
screwdriver.

6. Retighten all bolts and nuts (1 to A above)
before beginning drum play. 1 A
5. Pedal Anchor
When setup is completed, manually adjust the
Pedal Anchor bolts on the left-side pedal (or right-
side pedal, if model HP900PSWLN) as necessary.
1. Fit the Quick Hook onto the Speedo-Ring
bearing.
2. Connecting Rod
Attach the Connecting Rod to the left and
right pedal cam shafts.To the right pedal (as
seen by the player), attach the cam shaft so
that the square-headed bolts 0 at the end of
the Connecting Rod are positioned as shown
in Photo 9, and use the drum key to tighten
the bolts.In the same way, fasten the rod to
the cam shaft for the left pedal (as seen by
the player), while using one hand to hold the
wheel with the chain wrapped around it (Photo
10).When you have completed the assembly,
check your work by comparing it to the photo
of the finished product. When the assembly
is done, adjust the distance between the left
and right pedals. Loosen the square-headed
bolt A with a Drum Hammer, and adjust the
Connecting Rod to a desired length. Once
the desired position is determined, tighten the
square-headed bolt A to secure it.

5. Adjusting the Beater Angle (Vari-Pitch
Beater Holder)
The Vari-Pitch Beater Holder lets you adjust
the beater angle independently (without
affecting the pedal plate).
Adjust bolt 5 using the drum hammer.

6. Adjusting the Spring Tension
Adjust the spring tension using the nut 7 on
the lower end. When adjusting the spring, first
loosen the locknut 6, and then turn the adjusting
nut while pressing down on the locknut as in Fig.
1 and 2.
Ti g h t e n i n g t h e n u t m a k e s t h e p e d a l ' s
resistance heavier, but the beater's return
time is correspondingly faster.
In order to prevent the spring from loosening
while playing, the adjusting nut engages the cap
attached to the unit roughly every 1/3 of a turn.
Once the desired tension is reached, secure it by
tightening the locknut as in Fig. 3.

7. Cobra Coil
The Cobra Coil is a spring that assists the
return of the foot board, allowing smoother
and faster pedal action.
The strength of the spring can be adjusted
by shifting its location. Loosen the square-
headed bolt located on the back of the under
plate, and move the spring toward H (Harder
Action) to increase the strength of the spring,
or toward S (Softer Action) to lighten the
strength of the spring (photo 5). It is also
possible to remove the Cobra Coil. You can
adjust the system as desired to suit your
preferred footboard action.
H (Harder Action)
S (Softer
Action)
8. Toe stopper (Accessory)
If you need to attach the toe stopper, tighten
it with the installed square-headed bolt. The
square-headed bolt should be inserted into
hole B (see photo 6) from the back of the
footboard.
3. Using Para-Clamp 2, fasten the right-side
pedal to the bass drum.
4. Adjustments
The adjustment methods of the beater
angle, spring tension, etc. are the same as
for the single-pedal model. To fi ne-adjust,
follow the instructions 3 to 8 for the single-
pedal model.
