1. Align the screws on the bottom of the piano (one each at left

and right) with the metal brackets on the side boards. Then,

while lifting the front of the piano one or two centimeters,

pull it toward yourself so that the screws engage the metal

brackets.

* When handling the piano,  rmly grasp it. Be careful, so you do not get your

 ngers pinched.

2. Fasten the piano to the stand with the screw

(M5×20 mm).

must turn the adjuster until it is pressing rmly against the  oor.

Stand Assembly

• To assure that assembly is carried out properly, make sure to read these instructions before you begin the assembly. Please keep these instructions

close at hand, so you can refer to them whenever you need.

• To move the piano, lift it carefully—all the while keeping it level.

• Be careful not to pinch your hands or drop this unit on your foot during assembly or transport.

• Make sure to enlist the help of at least one other person when assembling this unit and moving it to a di erent location.

• Make sure to keep screws and any other small parts in a safe location that is out of the reach of small children, so such small parts won’t accidentally get swallowed.

• All screws should be tightened provisionally rst, then tightened later. To tighten a screw provisionally, screw it in until about half of its length is no longer visible. Do not use

an electric screwdriver when tightly securing the screws. Otherwise, you risk stripping the threads.

* The screwdriver needed to perform the assembly is not supplied. You’ll need to have ready a Phillips screwdriver that matches the size of the screws.

* After rmly tightening all the screws, place the unit at a location that is level and sure to remain stable. The unit must never be placed on top of deep-pile carpet. Otherwise, you risk

causing damage to the pedals due to instability and unnecessary movement.

* The surface of the piano unit and the stand are very delicate; handle with care to avoid scratching them.

* Do not place the piano unit directly on the  oor. Doing so will damage the bottom panel case and the connectors and holders on the bottom of the piano.

1. Assembly Procedure

* At  rst, assemble the entire stand in a temporary fashion, without really

tightening the screws. Then, after checking the overall alignment of the

boards (and gently shifting certain parts where necessary), go around and

tightly fasten each of the screws.

* If necessary, spread out a blanket or similar material to prevent the stand or

 oor from being scratched during assembly.

* Be careful not to pinch the pedal cord during assembly.

1. As shown in the illustration, place the left and right side

boards on the pedal board so that the metal brackets are on

the inside, and fasten them provisionally using screws A

(M5 x 40 mm).

2. Firmly tighten the screws A (four locations) that you

tightened provisionally in step 1.

* When attaching the pedal board, do not allow any gap to remain between the

side board and pedal board when the pieces are assembled.

3. With the help of another person, raise the left and right side

boards to an upright position.

* Take care that the pedal boards are not twisted.

4. Loosen the screws attached to the left and right side boards

approximately three turns, so that they protrude about

5 mm, as shown in the illustration.

When Moving the Piano

When you need to move the unit, you should rst close the keyboard cover,

disconnect the AC adaptor, and raise the adjusters of the stand. When moving

the unit, at least two people should work together and lift the unit carefully, all

the while keeping it level, and being very careful so as not to pinch your hands

or drop the unit on your feet.

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.
