* Keep small parts such as screws, stabilizers, and cord clamps out of the reach of small children to ensure that these items are not swallowed accidentally.
* The screwdriver needed for assembly is not included. You will need to provide a Phillips screwdriver of the appropriate size for the screws.
* You should initially tighten each screw loosely before tightening them to their  nal position. Start by tightening the screws until they are approximately half hidden. Do not use a
power screwdriver when tightening the screws to their  nal position. Doing so may strip the threads.
* Tighten the screws  rmly, and place the unit at a location that is level and sure to remain stable. Never place the unit on a shag carpet. If you do so, the pedal may be unstable,

About ground terminal

Depending on the circumstances of a particular setup, you may experience a
discomforting sensation, or perceive that the surface feels gritty to the touch
when you touch this device. This is due to an in nitesimal electrical charge,
which is absolutely harmless. However, if you are concerned about this,
connect the ground terminal (see  gure) with an external ground. When the
unit is grounded, a slight hum may occur, depending on the particulars of your
installation. If you are unsure of the connection method, contact the nearest
Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information” page.
Unsuitable places for connection
• Water pipes (may result in shock or electrocution)
• Gas pipes (may result in  re or explosion)
• Telephone-line ground or lightning rod (may be dangerous in the event of
lightning)

When moving the unit

If you need to move the unit, close the keyboard cover and disconnect the AC
adaptor. With at least one other person helping you, lift the unit horizontally
and carry it, taking care not to pinch your hands or drop the unit on your feet.
