Assembling the Stand

• Before starting assembly, check to make sure that you have all the parts shown below.
• This stand does not include any of the tools required for assembly. It is up to you to prepare a large Phillips head (+) screwdriver for assembly.

IMPORTANT!

• Do not remove the tape securing the keyboard cover in place until assembly is complete. Removing the tape can cause the keyboard cover to open and close during assembly, creating the risk of personal injury to your hands and fingers.
• Do not use any screws other than those that come with the stand. Doing so risks damage to the stand and/or Digital Piano.
• You can find the screws in a plastic bag inside the packing material.
• If screws are missing or damaged, contact your local CASIO service provider.

Caution!

• To assemble the stand, at least two persons should work together on a flat surface.
• Take care that you do not pinch your fingers between parts when assembling them.
• Spread felt or some other type of cloth under the bench to avoid direct contact between the rubber at the tips of the legs and the floor surface. Direct contact between the rubber and flooring can cause discoloration, marring, or other damage to the flooring.
• When placing the Digital Piano on the floor, be sure to place it on something soft (a blanket, cushion, etc.) Do not place the Digital Piano directly onto the floor.

1. Attach crosspiece D to side panels A and B . Secure the side panels using four E screws.
   • When attaching at location 1, make sure that bracket 2 enters into crosspiece D as far as it will go. If it doesn’t, the E screws will not be able to reach the screw holes of the bracket 2, which can cause stripping of the screw threads.
   • Cover each of the four screws with screw caps 1.
   • Run the pedal cable out through crosspiece D.

2. Attach the back panel C to the brackets 3 of the two side panels. Secure the back panel using two G screws.
   IMPORTANT!
   • When installing the back panel C, make sure the screw holes at the bottom are positioned correctly.
   – Longer hole distance: Side panel A side
   – Shorter hole distance: Side panel B side
   • When attaching at location 4, pass the G screw through the hole of a J clip before installing the screw.

3. Install six F screws along the bottom of the back panel C.

4. Adjust the height adjustment screw 5 to provide support so crosspiece D does not bow downwards when the pedals are pressed.
   IMPORTANT!
   • Pressing the pedals without adjusting height adjustment screw 5 can result in damage to crosspiece D. Be sure to adjust height adjustment screw 5 before operating the pedals.

5. Place the piano onto the stand.
   • Slide the piano onto the stand from behind so the bolts on the bottom of the piano engage with the slots of stand brackets.• The sides of the piano will overhang the left and right side panels slightly. Adjust the piano position so the left and right overhang is the same.

6. Use two H bolts to secure the piano to the stand.

IMPORTANT!

• To avoid the risk of the piano from falling off the stand, be sure to tighten the bolt securely.

To connect the cables

1. With the pedal unit cable plug oriented as shown in the illustration below, plug it into the pedal connector on the bottom of the piano.
   a. Push the plug fully in as far as it goes.
   b. Use the J clip to secure the pedal cable to side panel B.

2. Plug the AC adaptor that comes with the digital piano (12 VDC) into the AC adaptor terminal. Plug the power cord of the AC adaptor that comes with the Digital Piano into a household power outlet as shown in the illustration below.
   • Secure the AC adaptor cord by hooking it onto the hook next to the AC adaptor terminal.

Attaching the Music Stand

1. Insert the tabs on the bottom of the music stand into the two holes on the top of the piano.

Removing the Protective Tape from the Keyboard
Protective tape is affixed to the front edges of the keyboard keys to protect them during shipment. Remove the protective tape before using the digital piano.

• Peel off the tape by pulling carefully towards you as shown in the illustration.
• If some keys seem to be raised up after you remove the tape, press down to return them to their normal positions.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
