If you use the treble buttons supplied with the FR-8x, you don’t

WARNING
While you’re screwing the treble button, do not push the shaft
down.
The shaft can get stuck down.
NOTE
Using a commercially available tool to unscrew or screw the
treble buttons can be handy.
9. Carefully continue to screw tighten the treble button
without force it (tighten with a torque 0.3 Nm max).
IMPORTANT NOTE
Do not replace the rubber washer with
another type. If you forgot it, call your nearest
Roland Service Center to order it as spare
part.
Take care do not force to tighten the treble
button (tighten with a torque 0.3 Nm max). To
do it you risk to strip the hole.
Take in consideration that the number
of tightening for a single button is not
unlimited. Replace the buttons sparingly.
If you remove the treble button and the
rubber washer from the button keyboard,
be sure to replace it; don’t leave them
lying around where it could accidently be
swallowed by small children.
Bass & Chord Button Board
The FR-8x is supplied with several reference caps (concave and
with lines) designed to help you locate the bass and chord buttons
without looking at them. At the factory, three caps are installed
on the buttons shown in black in the illustration below. Feel free
to remove them and to slide them over other buttons if that feels
more comfortable.
