Opening and Closing the Top

(KR-17)

Opening only the front top

Children must not be permitted to open or close the top on their

own—adult supervision is required. Because the top is very heavy,

always use two or more people when opening and closing the top,

and be sure to handle it carefully.

1.

Lift the right front (the upper note side: A in the figure)

of the board with both hands, fold it back, and then lay

it down slowly on the top.

2.

Follow Step 1 to open the front top. Then lift the right

front (the upper note side B: in the figure) of the board

with both hands.

3.

While holding up the top with one hand, lift up the top

stick and insert its end into the appropriate top slip.

fig.

Do not move the piano with the top in the open position. The top

stick may disengage from the socket, causing the top to fall.

When opening the top, be careful not to open it too far. Opening the

top at an angle in excess of 30 degrees may damage the unit, or cause

the top to drop. Also, before opening the top, make sure that no one

is in the path of the top as it is opened.

About the Topsticks and Topslip

The KR-17 has two topsticks, each a different length.

You can use the different topsticks to change the amount the
top is left open.

fig.

The topsticks and topslip work together as illustrated below.

The long top stick: for inner top slip (C)

The short top stick: for outer top slip (D)

If you use the wrong top slip, the top stick could slip out of the top

slip, causing the top to fall. Make sure that the end of the top stick is

inserted securely into the top slip.

To close the top, reverse the opening procedure.
