Beater Setting
Insert the Control Core Quad Beater into the Beater Holder
Link with the desired face toward the bass drum head until
it stops against the Beater Setting Stopper. Tighten the Key
Bolt with a Tuning Key to secure (Fig.1-A). Make sure that
the Beater Setting Stopper is flush against the Beater
Holder Link (Fig.1-B). To adjust the height of the Quad
Beater, loosen the Allen Screw on the Beater Setting
Stopper with the provided hexagonal wrench. Set the Quad
Beater to the desired height and re-tighten the Allen Screw
(Fig. 1-C).
Tip
The Beater Setting Stopper preserves the height setting if the
beater is removed when transporting the pedal.

Beater Angle Adjustment
Depending on your preference, the Beater can be
positioned closer or farther away from the Bass Drum Head.
This is accomplished by loosening the Key Bolt on the
Beater Angle Cam and swinging the Beater to the desired
angle. Use the Set Screw in conjunction with the Index
Marks on the Beater Angle Cam as a guide for adjustments.
Re-tighten the Key Bolt to
secure the angle (Fig.3).
Tip
The most popular settings are
between the “A” to “B” Index
Marks. Settings toward “A” offer
increased power, and settings
toward “B” offer increased finesse.
Settings extending beyond that
range will be more extreme. For
general use, adjust the Set Screw
to the center of the “A” and “B”
Index Marks on the Beater Angle
Cam as shown (Fig.4).

Spring Tension Adjustment
The P-1030R / P-1030 Pedal features our patented Click
Lock spring tension retention system. To adjust the spring
tension, disable the Click Lock by lifting the lever upward
(Fig.7-B) and loosen the Upper Nut shown in (Fig. 7-A). To
increase spring tension, turn the Lower Nut clockwise. To
decrease spring tension turn the Lower the Click Lock lever
to engage the grooves around the Lower Nut until you feel
the lever "Click.” Before playing, make sure that both
Upper and Lower Nuts are tight and the Click Lock lever is
in a vertical position with both sides of the lever engaged in
the grooves around the Lower Nut (Fig.8).
Recommended for carpeted surfaces only. Use on hard flooring
may result in damage to the surface from spikes. Check to ensure
spikes are retracted when used on these surfaces.
CAUTION
If the heel of the pedal lifts while playing, loosen the Adjustment
Knob to change the angle of the Hoop Clamp until the pedal
remains flat.
Note
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.11).
Make sure that the heel is flush with the Power Plate to prevent
damage to the pedal.
Note
A: Strong B: Normal C: Light
Anchor Screw
To prevent the bass drum
from creeping forward while
playing turn the Anchor
Screws clockwise to extend
the spikes downward into the
floor (Fig.9).
Key Bolt
Hoop Clamp system
To attach your pedal to the bass drum, slide the bass drum
hoop between the Hoop Clamp and the bottom lip of the
pedal. Square the pedal and tighten the Wing Bolt to
secure the pedal to the bass drum hoop. The Hoop Clamp
system is fully adjustable and comes preset from the
factory to accommodate a variety of hoop thicknesses. To
adjust, use the hexagonal wrench provided to loosen the
Allen Screw on the side of the Adjustment Knob. Rotate the
Adjustment Knob until proper fit is achieved then tighten the
Allen Screw to secure setting (Fig.10).

Rubber Mats
To maximize traction of the rubber mats underneath the
Power Plate keep them clean and dust free using a damp
cotton towel.
CAUTION
Periodically check all Allen Screws for tightness and
tighten them with the provided hexagonal wrench 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.
