PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death
from the chimes overturning, falling, the assembly
running out of control or the parts falling.
• Lock the casters except when moving or transporting the
chimes.
• Use a sufficient number of people when moving or transporting
the chimes.
• The chimes should only be moved across smooth, flat surfaces
when using the casters. Always move the chimes slowly,
supporting the side frames as shown in the illustration. Never
move the chimes on a sloped, unstable, or gravel surface.
• Never run when moving or transporting the chimes. Doing so
can result in the chimes running out of control, hitting an
obstacle or wall and causing serious injury.
• With the sound tubes attached, do not lift the chimes and do not
go up or down stairs with the chimes. Only move the chimes
after the unit has been disassembled.
• Do not go near the chimes during an earthquake. Strong shaking
during an earthquake could cause the chimes to move or tip
over, possibly causing injury.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid
the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or
damage to the instrument or other property. These
precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
• When transporting the chimes, make sure that all caster locks
are released.
• When removing the chimes from the package, raising the chimes
and assembling the stand, always use two or more people.
Failure to do so might result in damage to the chimes or the
chimes overturning, and possibly causing injury.
• Assemble the chimes in the proper sequence by following the
assembly instructions in this manual. Failure to do so might
result in chimes overturning, and possibly causing injury.
• Make sure to tighten the screws or bolts regularly. Failure to do
so might result in misalignment of the chimes during playing,
noises, possibly causing injury.
• Make sure to confirm that the wire is not damaged before every
playing. Replace the wire if it is damaged. Failure to do so might
result in the sound tubes falling, and possibly causing injury.
• Do not recklessly swing the chime mallets. It may injure people
or damage surrounding objects.
• Make sure to periodically check that the screws and bolts are not
loose. Use the included hex key of the YCHS7006. For models
other than YCHS7006, use the hex key you own or consult
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Keep small parts (such as wires, wire caps, screws or bolts)
away from small children who might accidentally swallow them.
• Replace the wire cap if it is damaged.
• Do not directly touch the frayed wire with your hand.
• Before playing, make sure to check that the tops of all the sound
tubes are in line. Failure to do so might result in the sound tubes
falling, and possibly causing injury.
• Make sure to check that the wires are properly secured before
every playing. Failure to do so might result in the sound tubes
falling, and possibly causing injury.
• Do not insert your finger, hand or foot in any gaps on the
casters, height adjustment mechanism or active part of
dampers. Doing so can result in pinching your finger/hand/foot,
and possibly causing injury.
