Using a pedal without mounting a Cam on the Wheel will damage
the pedal. ONLY use the pedal with a Cam attached.
Note
Use only on carpeted surface to prevent damage to the floor.
CAUTION
Interchangeable Cam System
Our exclusive Cam System provides four interchangeable
color-coded cams (black, white, blue and red ) allowing you
to quickly change the power and feel of the pedal to suit
your individual playing style. From the factory, the Black
Cam is mounted to the P-2000C Chain Drive Pedal; the Red
Cam is mounted to P-2000B Belt Drive Pedal. When you
change from the original Cam to another, push the Release
Button on the Wheel and remove the Cam as shown (Fig.9).
While pushing the Release Button, snap another Cam in
place and make sure that the Cam is seated correctly
(Fig.10).

Linear Action Cam / Black :
This is Pearl's original "perfect circle" Cam design. It offers superior
power and a very natural, perfectly balanced action and smooth feel.
Oversized Linear Cam / White :
The White Cam is a slightly over sized "perfect circle" Cam. It offers a
very natural, smooth action, with great power and balance, with a
slightly lighter pedal feel.
Progressive Cam / Blue :
This is the very popular "off-center" axis type Cam design. It offers a
light feel in the beginning that accelerates with speed and power upon
impact.
Radical Progressive Cam / Red :
The Red Cam features an extreme "off-center" axis design. The action
is similar to the Blue Cam but with a lighter feel at the beginning of the
stroke.
Aggressive Action Cam / Purple :
The Purple Cam provides aggressive acceleration for huge power and
response, second only to the Red Cam. (CAM-PL)
Inverse Action Cam / Yellow :
The Yellow Cam provides a slight inverse action. When maximum
power is required, this is the Cam of choice. (CAM-YL)
Hoop Clamp system
Insert the bass drum hoop into the Clamp and turn the Wing
Bolt to secure. The Eliminator's Hoop Clamp system comes
preset from the factory to accommodate most bass drum
hoops but if necessary it can be adjusted to fit thicker and
narrower hoops. Loosen the Allen screw on the Adjustment
Knob with the provided Allen wrench as shown (Fig. 8) and
tighten or loosen the Adjustment Knob until proper fit is
achieved then re-tighten the Allen screw.
If the heel of the pedal lifts while playing, try loosening the
Adjustment Knob to change the angle of the Hoop Clamp
until the pedal remains flat.

Key Bolt
PowerShifter
The PowerShifter function allows you to change the feel and
action of the pedal by shifting the footboard position back
and forth. To change the position, loosen the Key Bolt in the
heel of the footboard and move the footboard to the desired
position: A, B or C. Tighten the Key Bolt again (Fig.13).
Rubber Mats
To maximize traction of the rubber mats underneath the
Power Plate keep them clean and dust free using a damp
cotton towel.
Fig.13
Make sure that the heel is flush with the Power Plate to prevent
damage to the pedal.

CAUTION
Periodically check all Allen Screws for tightness and
tighten them with the provided Allen Wrenches as
needed.
Periodically apply lube to all moving parts such as the
Chain, Cam Roller, Footboard Hinge, etc. for optimal
speed and extended life of your pedal. Bearings
should be lubricated with grease, not liquid oil.
Traction Plate
Traction Grip Dots
Traction Grip and Traction Plate Adjustment
The Traction Grip Dots can be totally removed or inserted as
needed to custom tailor the amount of traction for your
personal playing style. To remove the Traction Grip Dots,
loosen the Allen screws holding the Traction Plate with the
provided hexagonal wrench and remove the Traction Plate
from the footboard (Fig.11). The Traction Plate is also
reversible to provide just the right amount of grip at either
the front or rear of the footboard (Fig.12).
When putting the Traction Plate back, finger-tighten the four screws
to prevent cross-threading; then tighten the screws securely.
Do not use the Pedal without the Traction Plate mounted. It could
cause injury to your foot.
