Assembling the RP701
To assemble this product correctly, carefully read these instructions before assembly. Keep these instructions nearby so that you can immediately refer
to them when necessary.
Caution when assembling the unit
• Make sure that another person is on hand to help with the assembly and setup.
• Lift the piano carefully—all the while keeping it level.
• Prepare an area in which you can perform the assembly safely.
• If necessary, spread out a blanket or similar material to prevent the piano or oor from being scratched during assembly.
• 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.
• 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.
• Be very careful, when you assemble and move the piano, to make sure that you do not drop it on your hands or feet.
• Do not use a power tool (e.g., an electric screwdriver) to assemble the piano. You risk damaging or stripping the screws.
• 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. For a successful assembly, compensate for any warping while you tighten the screws.
• Be careful not to pinch the pedal cord during assembly.
• Do not place the piano main unit directly on the oor. Doing so will damage the bottom panel case and the connectors on the bottom of the piano main
unit.
