Thank you for selecting the YAMAHA chimes.
Please read this owner's manual carefully, and truly enjoy this instrument for
years to come.
1 Never use a metal type hammer or mallets to
strike the sound column with. The sound column
will break.
2 Always use the instrument on a flat, level sur-
face. The instrument will not function properly on
a sloped surface.
3 When assembling the stand, make sure each
part is firmly attached, and there is no twisting or
disfigurement in the frame. Also, make sure that
all wing nuts are firmly tightened.
4 Use your toes to operate the damper pedal. Do
not stand on or put your weight on the pedal. Do-
ing so may cause the pedal to break.
5 Do not touch the damper adjuster. The adjuster
has been adjusted at the factory. Moving the ad-
juster may result in the damper not functioning
properly.

not subject it to strong shocks.
2 The sound column's pitch and/or tone may
change if the columns are scratched or bent. Be
careful.
3 When the instrument is to be transported over
long distances, especially by vehicle, do so with
the sound columns removed from the stand. The
shape of the stand may change and the column's
wire/strings may be cut if the columns are not re-
moved.
