6. Pull the knobs out towards you and set the inner				6.
struts to the desired height.
Check the height setting numbers marked on the inner struts to
make sure that both the left and right legs are set to the same
height.

* Of the numbers for setting the strut					1 12
height, use only the numbers from 1
through 12. Setting the height at 13 is					13
not recommended, as this may make				Knob
the stand unstable.
* Take care not to let your hands or
fingers get caught and pinched in the
notches for the height setting numbers.

Adjusting the Strut Angle

You can adjust the degree to which the struts open by

attaching or removing the angle adapters.

To set the struts at an increased angle, remove the angle

adapters on the outer sides of the strut hinges (refer to Fig. B).

Fig. B

* Attach the angle adapters

on the inner sides of the

Fig. B

strut hinges to prevent

from losing them (refer to

Fig. B).

Angle Adapter

* When removing the angle

adapters, be sure to remove

them from both struts.

Never use the stand with

the adapter removed from

only one side, as this will

cause the keyboard to lean

dangerously to one side.

Precautions to Observe When

Setting the Keyboard on the Stand

•

• Set the keyboard so that the center of the keyboard is aligned

with the midpoint of the stand.

•

• Set the keyboard so that it rests on the rubber portions of the

arms.

• Adjust the strut height and angle so that the stand is the

•

appropriate width for the keyboard and that any rubber feet on

the underside of the keyboard are not resting directly on top of

the arms.

•

• Run cables used for connecting the keyboard through the struts’

cable clip. Using the keyboard and stand with the cables

swinging loosely is dangerous, so be sure to keep the cables

•

secured to the strut.

• Do not move the stand with the keyboard still resting on it. This

may cause the keyboard to topple and fall.

Note to Observe When Performing

Do not play the keyboard so vigorously that the stand shakes left

and right or the stand’s legs rise off the floor. This may cause the

keyboard to topple and fall.
