Roland DP-970 Assembling

Assembling the DP-970
Make sure that another person is on hand to help with the assembly and setup.
To move the piano, lift it carefully-all the while keeping it level. Be very careful, when you assemble
and move the piano, to make sure that you do not drop it on your hands or feet.
Should you remove screws, cord clamps, or stabilizer, make sure to put them in a safe place out of
children's reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.
■
Check the Parts
Before you begin assembling the DP-970, check that all the
parts were supplied.
You will also need to have a Phillips screwdriver.

The speaker box can also be installed so that it faces toward the
rear instead of toward the front. Having the speaker box face out
the rear of the instrument allows the speakers to be directed
toward listeners when the back of the instrument faces the
audience.

Assembly Procedure
• At first, assemble the entire unit in a temporary fashion,
without really tightening the screws. Then, after checking
the overall alignment of the boards (and gently shifting
certain parts where necessary), go around and tightly fasten
each of the screws.
• Be careful when assembling the DP-970, so as to avoid
scratching the side boards.

contact with the floor, re-tighten the attachment screws
firmly.

Align the protruding screws (one each at right and
left) on the bottom of the piano with the openings in
the metal fittings on the side board, then slide the
piano forward until the screws are held in place.
* When handling the piano, firmly grasp it at the front and
back. Be careful, so you do not get your fingers pinched.
Place the keyboard so that it is centered, both front to
back and left to right.

as necessary.
