Maintenance To keep your ARIUS in optimum condition, we recommend that you periodically follow the maintenance points below. Instrument and Bench Maintenance • When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. NOTICE Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Do not wipe too hard since small particles of dirt can scratch the instrument’s finish. Pedal Cleaning As with an acoustic piano, pedals may become tarnished over years of use. When this occurs, polish the pedal with a compound designed for piano pedals. Before using the compound, make sure to read the instructions for proper usage. Tuning Unlike an acoustic piano, this instrument does not need to be tuned by an expert (although the pitch can be user-adjusted to match other instruments). This is because the pitch of digital instruments is always maintained perfectly. When transporting You can load this instrument onto a truck, either fully assembled or disassembled. When doing so, do not lean the instrument (especially the keyboard unit) against a wall, and make sure to lay it horizontally in the truck. When transporting by truck, do not subject the instrument to excessive vibration or shock. If you transport the instrument fully assembled, make sure to check all the screws then tighten them as necessary.
