the damper felt even while the damper is released,
place the chimes on a flat, level surface.
For the YCHS7006, place the chimes where all sound

 Adjusting the Damper Pedal (YCH7018,
YCH6018, YCHS7018)
The damper holds the sound tubes with the damper felt to shorten the
reverberation of the chime sound. While pressing the damper pedal,
the damper is released and reverberations are heard. When you stop
pressing the damper pedal, the damper will work and the reverberation
will stop.
The position of the damper pedal can be adjusted by
the following steps.
1.
Loosen the fixing bolt.
2.
Adjust the position of the damper pedal.
3.
Tighten the fixing bolt to fix the damper
pedal.

You can keep the damper release by pushing in the
damper stopper while pressing the damper pedal. To
release the damper stopper, press the damper pedal
again.
NOTE
• When the depth of pressing the pedal is insufficient, the
damper stopper cannot be pushed in. In this case, adjust the
damper pedal position so that you can fully depress the pedal.
