I never could = get the thing where it looked centered under the piano. When the extensions = were the same distance from the center 5 sided plate the thing was off center = of the piano too much toward the curved side. I finally adjusted the center = plate so it was as close to the center of the keybed and adjusted the extensions = to different lengths to fit the legs and then bolted it all tight. My questions---I assumed the extension bolted in the center of the plate = went to the back leg and the other two to each of the front legs. I wondered if = the five sided plate that the extensions bolted too must twist either = clockwise or counter clockwise to center the thing up. Did I give enought info for = you to determine if I installed this thing correctly. It rolls....it fits each = leg! ..and the center plate is resting just behind the center of the key = bed....and the longest extension is to the back leg...I guess my main concern is = that it's balanced correctly. I'm not sure it can be installed = "umbalanced" I going to call Schaff Monday but I am concerned I used good judgement = without directions.
