USING THE UNIT SAFELY
002a
• Do not open or perform any internal modifi-
cations on the unit.
..................................................................................................
003
• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace
parts within it (except when this manual
provides specific instructions directing you to
do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the
nearest Roland Service Center, or an autho-
rized Roland distributor, as listed on the
“Information.”
..................................................................................................
004
• Never use or store the unit in places that are:
• Subject to temperature extremes (e.g.,
direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle,
near a heating duct, on top of heat-gener-
ating equipment); or are
• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet
floors); or are
• Humid; or are
• Exposed to rain; or are
• Dusty; or are
• Subject to high levels of vibration.
..................................................................................................
007
• Make sure you always have the unit placed
so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never
place it on stands that could wobble, or on
inclined surfaces.
..................................................................................................
011
• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable
material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind
(water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.
..................................................................................................
013
• In households with small children, an adult
should provide supervision until the child is
capable of following all the rules essential for
the safe operation of the unit.
..................................................................................................
• To prevent accidents, never allow small
children to play near the stand.
..................................................................................................
014
• Protect the unit from strong impact.
(Do not drop it!)
..................................................................................................
104
• Try to prevent cords and cables from
becoming entangled. Also, all cords and
cables should be placed so they are out of
the reach of children.
..................................................................................................
106
• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy
objects on the unit.
..................................................................................................
118c
• Keep any screws, washers, bolts, nuts, tuning
bolts, springs, hand knobs you may remove
and the included cable ties in a safe place
out of children’s reach, so there is no chance
of them being swallowed accidentally.
..................................................................................................
• Make sure to firmly tighten all clamps and
bolts after you have assembled the stand and
attached a pad or unit to it. You should
probably also try to make a habit of
checking and retightening them if necessary
before every performance. You risk injury if
you have loose screws or clamps, since a
pad or unit can fall unexpectedly.
..................................................................................................
• When setting up or storing the stand, be
careful not to pinch the fingers you use to
handle the stand.
..................................................................................................

a soft, dry cloth.
