Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your keyboard stand:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, flat surface.
2. Assemble the Z-Frame: Connect the Z Piano Left Stand and Z Piano Right Stand using the Center Brace. Align the holes and insert the provided bolts, securing them with the knobs. Ensure the 'Pyle' logos on the knobs face outwards.

Tighten the locking knobs on the vertical supports for added stability.
5. Attach Headphone Hook: The stand includes a headphone hook that can be attached to either side of the vertical supports. Secure it using the provided screw and knob.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your keyboard stand, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the metal surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Check Fasteners: Periodically inspect all bolts and knobs to ensure they are securely tightened. Loose fasteners can affect the stand's stability.
• Foam Pads: Ensure the foam padded arms are intact and free from damage. These pads protect your keyboard from scratches and prevent slippage. Replace if worn.
• Rubber Foot Caps: Check the anti-slip rubber grip foot caps for wear or damage. Intact foot caps are crucial for maintaining stability and preventing floor scratches.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your keyboard stand, refer to the following common solutions:

• Keyboard Not Stable/Wobbling:
  • Ensure all adjustment knobs (for height and width) are tightened firmly.
  • Verify the stand is placed on a flat, level, and stable surface.
  • Check the anti-slip rubber grip foot caps for wear or damage.
• Keyboard Sliding Off Arms:
  • Confirm the foam padded arms are clean, intact, and providing adequate grip.
  • If your keyboard has compatible attachment points, consider using secure straps (not included) to fasten it to the stand. Note that some keyboards may require specific screw sizes (e.g., M5 vs. M6).
• Difficulty Adjusting Height/Width:
  • Ensure the relevant knobs are completely loosened before attempting to slide components.
  • Check for any debris or obstructions within the adjustment mechanisms.
• Missing Parts Upon Arrival:
  • If any essential components are missing, please contact Pyle customer support immediately with your proof of purchase and details of the missing items.
