Chapter 3 Disassembly/Assembly
B. Note: all keys in this section must be removed
before proceeding further. If you are removing a
key weight from a keyboard that does have rod
support locking clips, you will need to slide the
rod out from the end of the keyboard. (The
locking clips are positioned every twelve keys
positions and are not removable.)
Removing the rod releases every key weight in
this section.
Once the rod has been removed, simply remove
the key weight that needs to be replaced.
Replacing a Key Weight
The following procedures describe replacing key
weights from both styles of keyboards. Follow the
instructions labelled "A" for keyboard without locking
clips and follow the instructions labelled "B" for
keyboards with locking clips.
A. Each key weight has a strip of red felt attached to the
key weight with pliable adhesive. Be sure the red
felt extends onto the upper surface of the top of the
key weight.
Place the key weight against the rod and snap onto
the rod with slight pressure.
Place the rod and key weights into position over the
support brackets and snap the rod into the support
brackets. Be certain that the rod is pressed securely
into the support bracket.
Prior to installing the keys and springs, check that
each key weight moves freely.
