your fingers, and do not insert a finger or hand
in any gaps on the key cover or instrument.
• Never insert or drop paper, metallic, or other
objects into the gaps on the key cover, panel
or keyboard. If this happens, turn off the power

inspected by qualified Suzuki service person-
nel.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on

• Bumping the surface of the instrument with
metal, porcelain, or other hard objects can

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy
objects on the instrument, and do not use

connectors.
• Do not operate the instrument for a long period
of time at a high or uncomfortable volume
