About the slide stopper
Some instruments are supplied with a
silicon Yamaha Slide Stopper to prevent ac-
cidental removal of the tuning slides. The
stopper can be left in place when playing
and used in other configurations as shown
below.
* Make sure that the ring is hooked on securely to
prevent it from coming unhooked.
* Wash with water when necessary.
* Do not expose the product to any heat source,
high temperature, or direct sunlight.
* Keep out of reach of young children.
* In rare instances, oil may seep from the silicon
rubber. This has no affect on product quality or
the instrument.

* If you remove or replace the valve slide without
holding the piston down, the drop or buildup
of air pressure in the pipe can cause poor piston
function or damage to the inside of the pipe.
* The pistons must be oiled for them to function
properly and smoothly.
After applying slide oil to valve slides equipped
with a spring type slide trigger, hold the piston
down and move the slide in and out a few times
as you did before to distribute the oil evenly.

Valve Slide From Falling Off.
On instruments fitted with a stopper screw,
make sure the screw is tight.
