Horizontal Alignment
For safe and accurate work, it is important that
all instrument feet are in uniform contact with
the installation surface.
The stainer is horizontally aligned at the factory.
If a completely level or horizontal surface is not
available at the installation site, the instrument
must be realigned.
For this purpose, the instrument feet (25) are
height-adjustable.
• For alignment, loosen the locknuts (26) using
a size
7 /
16
" open-end wrench.
• Adjust the instrument feet (25) until the
instrument is in a stable position at the
installation location according to require-
ments.
• Retighten the locknuts.
4.3 Setup
Mounting the Support Bracket
To ensure that the instrument cannot tip over
when its keys are pressed, the support bracket
(27) must be mounted on the rear.
• To do this, first unscrew the two Philips head
screws (28) with a screwdriver. Place them
together with the two associated washers
(29)
• Place the support bracket against the rear of
the instrument (
Fig. 20 ), reinsert but do not
fully tighten the two screws.
• Press the support bracket down onto the
support surface until a face of the plate lies
flush with the bench surface, then tighten
the plate in this position.
