1.4 Transporting the PG 740 PIII

Preparatory Measures

The PG 740 PIII is easy to transport. Before transporting it, however, you should
take the following measures:

1. Switch the PG 740 PIII off and wait approx. 20 seconds.

2. Then, unplug all connecting cables.

3. Close the covers protecting the ports and connections on the right-hand and
left-hand casing side panels.

4. Bring the unit into an upright position.

5. Swing the keyboard up and press it against the front plate of the unit.
Make sure that the latches on the left and the right sides snap into place.

6. Use the carrying handle if you only intend transporting the unit over a short
distance.

7. If you are transporting the PG 740 PIII over large distances, pack the unit with
all its accessories in the carrying bag supplied.

Transport

Despite the fact that the PG 740 PIII is of rugged design, its internal components
are sensitive to severe vibrations or impact. You must therefore protect your
PG 740 PIII against severe mechanical stressing when transporting it.

Use the original packing material if you have to ship the PG 740 PIII from one
location to another.

Changing the Angle of Inclination

With the keyboard open, you can incline the unit to any angle between 0 and 90°
around the axis of rotation of its stand. Proceed as follows:

1. Swing the keyboard down.

2. Pull the extra support out of the rear of the stand.

3. Incline the unit to the angle you prefer.

!

Caution

Risk of injury!
There is a danger of the unit tipping over if it is set up without extra support and at

an angle of inclination of more than 15°. This could lead to personal injury and also
damage to the unit.

If the angle of inclination is greater than 15°, you must use the extra slide-out
support in the stand.
