Adjusting Stand Height (Main Tier)

The stand features 4 height adjustments. To adjust, simply lift the stand to the desired height. The EZ-LOK system will automatically engage and lock the stand at the next available height setting. To lower, lift slightly and push the legs closer together to disengage the lock, then lower to the desired position.

Adjusting Second Tier Height and Angle

The second tier adjusts simultaneously with the base height and is slightly tilted for ergonomic playing. To adjust the height of the second tier, pull out the knob located on the vertical support of the second tier and slide the tier up or down to your preferred position. Release the knob to lock it in place. The height is adjustable from 198 mm (7.8") to 300 mm (11.8") in 25.4 mm (1") increments.

Adjusting Rubber Feet

The Adjustable Rubber Foot provides stability on uneven floors. Rotate the yellow rubber foot at the base of the stand to extend or retract it, ensuring all four feet make firm contact with the ground for maximum stability.

Operating Instructions

Once assembled and adjusted to your desired height, carefully place your keyboard or digital piano on the main tier. For the second tier, ensure the instrument is securely seated on the arms. The stand is designed to hold two keyboards securely.

Folding for Storage/Transport

To fold the stand for storage or transport, simply reverse the unfolding process. Lift the stand slightly and push the legs together. The EZ-LOK system will disengage, allowing the stand to fold compactly. Its folded size is 1115 mm x 505 mm x 115 mm (43.8" x 19.9" x 4.5").

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the stand with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the EZ-Lok system and height adjustment points to ensure smooth operation.
• Inspection: Regularly check all bolts, knobs, and rubber components for tightness and wear. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.

Troubleshooting

Stand is unstable:

Solution: Ensure the stand is placed on a flat, level surface. Adjust the individual rubber feet at the base of the stand to compensate for any unevenness in the floor. Verify that the EZ-Lok system is fully engaged and locked.

Difficulty adjusting height or folding:

Solution: Check for any obstructions in the EZ-Lok mechanism or the height adjustment holes. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the moving parts if they feel stiff. Ensure you are lifting the stand slightly to disengage the EZ-Lok before attempting to lower or fold it.

Second tier not holding position:

Solution: Ensure the knob for the second tier adjustment is fully pulled out when adjusting and fully released to lock it in place. Check if the knob or the adjustment holes are worn; if so, contact support for replacement parts.
