Yamaha DG1590A Owner's Manual page 3

Before using your DEAGAN Bells, carefully read
and follow the precautions below.
■ Location
Use or storage in the following locations may cause dam-
age, even when packaged.
• In direct sunlight, such as near a window, or in a
closed vehicle in daytime. Near heating devices or in
other locations subject to excessive heat.
• In excessively cold environments.
• In places with excessive humidity or dust.
• Locations subject to vibrations.
• Locations where the instrument can be exposed to
rain or moisture.
■ Handling
• Never place an object on or lean against the instrument
while in or out of its case. This may cause damage to
the tone bars and frame parts or topple the instrument,
which is extremely dangerous.
• Do not turn the instrument over when its case is not
closed, the pins which hold the tone bars in place may
become damaged.
• Do not use the Glockenspiel's hard mallets on vibra-
phones or other mallet instruments. The resulting dents
or scratches on the other instrument's tone bars could
impair the sound.
■ Moving and Transporting the Instrument
• Keep the instrument in its closed case if it is to be
moved or transported, or not to be used for a period of
time. The case will protect the instrument from dust
and damage due to accidents.
• Even in its case, the instrument is susceptible to shock.
Use care whenever moving the instrument. Never drop
or throw the instrument for any reason.
■ Maintenance
The tone bars should be wiped with a soft dry cloth.
Never use thinner, benzene, or a wet cloth for cleaning
purposes.
