Mount the Organ on the Stand
CAUTION
The organ must be mounted on the stand by two persons using both hands.
1. Remove the Knob Bolts on both sides of the organ.
2. Unfold the stand and place it in the upright position.
3. The stand must be placed flat on the floor. Turn the adjusters, if neces-
sary, to level the stand.
4. With a helper, lift the organ gripping the side handles, then carefully
mount it on the stand.
CAUTION
Be careful not to get your fingers pinched! This could occur if they are
caught between the organ and the stand.
5. After mounting the organ on the stand, insert the Knob Bolts through
the screw holes on both sides of the stand and also on the organ, and
tighten them securely.
Insert the Knob Bolts straight through horizontally. If the knobs are askew, they
may damage the screw threads on the stand and/or the organ.
