Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps to correctly assemble and integrate your Dixon Drum Wing Rack with Leg into your drum setup.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Verify that all components are present: one horizontal bar, one vertical leg with tripod base, and one clamp.
2. Attach Leg to Horizontal Bar: Loosen the wing nut on the clamp located on the vertical leg. Slide the top end of the vertical leg onto the horizontal bar at your desired position. Tighten the wing nut securely to fix the leg in place.
3. Adjust Leg Angle: Spread the tripod base of the leg to provide a stable foundation. Ensure the leg is firmly planted on the ground.
4. Position the Rack: Place the assembled wing rack in your desired location within your drum setup. The horizontal bar should be at a comfortable height for attaching instruments.
5. Attach Additional Clamps/Accessories: Use the included clamp, or additional clamps (sold separately), to mount drums, cymbals, or other percussion accessories onto the horizontal bar. Ensure all clamps are tightened securely to prevent movement during play.
6. Check Stability: Before use, gently test the stability of the entire setup. Adjust any loose connections or leg positions as needed to ensure maximum stability.

Operating Instructions

The Dixon Drum Wing Rack with Leg is designed for straightforward operation. Once assembled, its primary function is to provide a stable mounting point for your drum hardware.

• Mounting Instruments: Utilize the included clamp or other compatible clamps to attach drum mounts, cymbal arms, or accessory holders to the horizontal bar. Ensure the clamp jaws fully grip the bar and are tightened firmly.
• Adjusting Height and Position: The vertical leg can be adjusted along the horizontal bar to change the overall height and reach of the wing rack. Loosen the leg clamp, slide to the new position, and re-tighten.
• Weight Distribution: Distribute the weight of mounted instruments evenly across the horizontal bar to maintain optimal stability. Avoid placing excessively heavy items on one end without counterbalancing.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and performance of your Dixon Drum Wing Rack with Leg.

• Cleaning: Wipe down chrome and metal surfaces with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust, fingerprints, and moisture. For stubborn grime, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome or metal, applied to a cloth, not directly to the rack.
• Lubrication: Periodically check all moving parts, such as wing nuts and clamp mechanisms. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant if any parts feel stiff or difficult to adjust. Avoid oil-based lubricants that can attract dust.
• Tightness Check: Regularly inspect all nuts, bolts, and clamps for tightness. Vibrations from drumming can cause components to loosen over time. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability and prevent damage.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the rack in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and humidity, to prevent corrosion.
