Opening/Closing the Top
Raising the music rest
* Raise the music rest before you open the piano top. Close the
piano top before you lower the music rest.
1.
Gently raise the music rest.
* When raising the music rest, take care not to pinch your fingers
between the moving part and the body of the unit. In places
where small children are present, make sure that an adult
provides supervision and guidance.
2.
Fit the latch into one of the slots so that the music rest is at
the desired angle.

Opening the top
* The top must be opened or closed by an adult.
* When opening the top, take care not to pinch your fingers
between the moving part and the body of the unit. In places
where small children are present, make sure that an adult
provides supervision and guidance.
3.
Use both hands to firmly grasp the right side of the top
(toward the high notes: position A in the illustration), and
slowly raise it.

* When opening the top, take care not to open it too far. An angle
of about 30 degrees is appropriate. Opening the top significantly
beyond this angle may damage the piano, or cause the top to fall.
Before you open the top, make sure that no one is in the direction
toward which the top opens.
* Do not transport the piano with the top opened. Doing so may
cause the top stick to come out of its socket, allowing the top to
fall.
4.
Using one hand to support the top, raise the top stick and
fit it into its socket.
* When raising the top stick, please be careful not to get your
fingers pinched between the movable part and the panel. In
places where small children are present, make sure that an adult
provides supervision and guidance.
5.
Move the tip of the top stick to position B of the socket,
locking it into place.

NOTE
The top stick must be locked into the socket to prevent the top
from falling.
Do not release the top until the top stick is completely locked.
* To close the top, reverse the procedure by which you opened it.
