Locate the central adjustment mechanism. Loosen the large black knob. This will allow you to move the X-frame arms to your desired height and corresponding width. The stand offers five height positions and five corresponding width positions:
- Height Positions: 650mm, 760mm, 860mm, 940mm, 1000mm
- Width Positions: 300mm, 450mm, 590mm, 700mm, 810mm
Align the holes on the two X-frame sections to achieve the desired setting. Once aligned, insert the pin and securely tighten the black knob to lock the stand in place.
- Ensuring Stability: Before placing your instrument, gently rock the stand to ensure it is stable and all connections are secure. The protective rubber end caps on the feet and support arms prevent scratching and slipping.

Operating Instructions
Once assembled and adjusted to your preferred height and width, the stand is ready for use.
- Carefully place your keyboard or instrument onto the top support arms of the stand. Ensure it is centered and balanced.
- The protective rubber coverings on the support arms are designed to prevent scratches to your instrument and provide a secure grip.
- To fold the stand for storage or transport, loosen the central adjustment knob, collapse the X-frame, and then re-tighten the knob to keep it compact.
