3. Setup and Adjustment
The Gewa KS-20B Keyboard Stand comes pre-assembled and requires no complex setup. Its X-frame design allows for quick unfolding and adjustment.

- Locate the adjustment knob at the center of the stand.
- Loosen the knob by turning it counter-clockwise. This will allow the X-frame to move freely.
- Adjust the stand to your desired height and width. The height can be set between 70 cm and 100 cm (27.5 - 39.4 inches). Note that as the height increases, the width decreases, and vice-versa.
- Once the desired position is achieved, tighten the adjustment knob firmly by turning it clockwise until it is secure. Ensure there is no wobble before placing your instrument.

4. Operating Instructions
Once the stand is set up and adjusted to your preferred ergonomic playing position, it is ready for use.
- Always ensure the stand is stable and the keyboard is securely placed before beginning to play.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your keyboard stand.
- Cleaning: Wipe the stand with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, screws, and the central adjustment mechanism for tightness. Re-tighten if necessary to maintain stability.
- Storage: Store the stand in a dry environment to prevent rust, especially if it has been exposed to moisture.
