Make sure that another person is on hand to help with the assembly and setup. To move the piano, lift it carefully-all the while keeping it level. Be very careful, when you assemble and move the piano, to make sure that you do not drop it on your hands or feet. Should you remove screws, cord clamps, or stabilizer, make sure to put them in a safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

Check the Parts

Before you begin assembling the DP-900, check that all the parts were supplied.

You will also need to have a Phillips screwdriver.

Assembly Procedure

• At first, assemble the entire unit 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.

• Be careful when assembling the DP-900, so as to avoid scratching the side boards.

When securing the screws, lay the entire unit sideways with the rear side of the DP-900 at the bottom.

Secure the left side board to the speaker box with the screws (in two places).

Attach so that the speaker cable at the rear of the speaker box is directed to the right.

The speaker box can also be installed so that it faces toward the rear instead of toward the front. Having the speaker box face out the rear of the instrument allows the speakers to be directed toward listeners when the back of the instrument faces the audience.

When Moving the Instrument

Disconnect the AC cord and cables from the DP-900.

Then lift the piano while keeping it level, and move it with care, so that you do not drop it on your feet, or get your hands caught.

Check the stability of the pedal, and make adjustments as necessary.

When Disassembling

Disassemble the unit by carrying out assembly Steps 1-10 in reverse order.

When Changing the Orientation of the Speaker Box

Be sure to completely disassemble the unit, change the speaker box orientation, then reassemble it.
