Before You Start Playing

Raising the Music Rest

Always be sure to raise the music rest in the upright
position before opening and raising the piano top.
Be sure to fold down the music rest in the upright
position after closing the piano top.

Gently raise the music rest, then secure it in place.

2.

To collapse the music rest, fold in the metal
fittings while supporting the music rest with

Open the Top Board

Children must not be permitted to open or close the top
on their own—adult supervision is required.

figure) of the board with both hands, fold it up.

When opening the top, be careful not to open it too far.
Opening the top at an angle in excess of 30 degrees may
damage the unit, or cause the top to drop. Also, before
opening the top, make sure that no one is in the path of
the top as it is opened.
Do not move the piano with the top in the open position.
The top stick may disengage from the slip, causing the
top to fall.

4.

While holding up the top with one hand, lift up
the top stick and insert its end into the
appropriate top slip.

5.

Move the tip of the top stick to position B on the
slip to lock it in place.
NOTE

To keep the top board from falling, be sure to secure it in
place by inserting the top stick into a slip. Also, never let
go of the top until the top stick is completely inserted
and secured in place.
