Preparation
If you will be using sheet music with your
Clavinova, raise the music stand built into its top
panel by lifting the rear edge of the music stand,
then flip down the music stand braces and engage
them with the corresponding recesses.
The music stand can be lowered after slightly
lifting it and folding the two brackets which sup-
port it against the back of the stand.
To open the CLP-555 key cover lift it just
enough to clear the keys (do not lift excessively)
then slide the cover back into the main unit. To
close the cover slide it forward all the way and then
lower it gently until it closes completely.

Hold the cover with both hands when moving it, and
do not release it until it is fully opened or closed. Be
careful to avoid catching fingers (yours or others)
between the cover and main unit.
Do not place objects on top of the key cover. Small
objects placed on the key cover may fall inside the
main unit when the cover is opened.
ZRaise the music stand as described in “The
Music Stand”, above.
XRaise and hold the right side of the lid (viewed
from the keyboard end of the instrument).
CRaise the lid stay and carefully lower the lid so
that the end of the stay fits into the recess in
the lid.
Make sure that the end of the stay fits securely in
the lid recess. If the stay is not properly seated in
the recess the lid may fall causing damage or injury.
Be careful that you or others do not bump the stay
while the lid is raised. The stay may be bumped out
of the lid recess causing the lid to fall.
Be careful not to catch your fingers when raising or
lowering the lid.
Be careful of fingers when opening or closing.
