Warning
Disregard of the warnings denoted with this mark and misuse
of the product can lead to death or serious injury.
Before using the vibraphone, please thoroughly read
the following instructions and the Owner’s Manual.
Do not dismantle or modify the vibraphone’s controller
or driver. Doing so can cause fire or electrical shock.
Repairs or part replacement should not be attempted
unless instructions are provided in the manual.
Do not use or store the instrument in any of the follow-
ing locations. Doing so can cause fire or electrical
shock.
• In places subject to high temperatures (near a
heating device or in direct sunlight, etc.).
• In places where the instrument may be exposed to
moisture (bathroom, on wet floors, etc.) and exces-
sive humidity.
• In places where the instrument may be exposed to
rain.
• In places with excessive dust.
• In places subject to vibrations.
When using the AC adapter, do not excessively bend
the power cord, or place heavy objects on the cord.
Doing so may damage the cord causing fire or electri-
cal shock.
Do not play or roughhouse around the instrument.
Bumping into the instrument can cause injury. It can
also cause the instrument to overturn. Do not allow
children to play around the instrument.
Do not lean against or climb onto the instrument. Do-
ing so can cause the instrument to overturn resulting
in serious injury.
Never put foreign objects (combustible objects, coins,
wire, etc.) or liquids (water, juice, etc.) in the drive unit.
Doing so can cause fire and electric shock.
If one of the following occurs, turn off the power, unplug
the AC adapter and request repair as soon as possible.
• If the AC adapter or power cord becomes damaged.
• If foreign objects or liquids have gotten into the drive
unit.
• If the drive unit gets wet (rain, etc.).
• If the drive unit operates abnormally or is broken.
Never place the instrument on a sloping or unstable
surface or platform, etc. Doing so can cause the instru-
ment to fall over resulting in injury.
When moving the instrument on its casters, only move
across smooth, flat surfaces. Hold the instrument by its
side frames and push forward slowly.
When moving the instrument on its casters,
1. Avoid moving the instrument on surfaces that are
sloped or uneven. The instrument can overturn,
run out of control, and be a danger.
2. Never run with the instrument. The instrument may
become impossible to control and crash into a wall
causing serious injury.
If the instrument must be lifted or carried, do so with two
or more people using both hands to lift it by the side
frames.

Safety Precautions
Caution
Disregard of the warnings denoted with this mark, or misuse of
the product can result in injury or property damage.
Do not use the instrument in locations with poor venti-
lation.
Never pull on the cord when disconnecting the AC
adapter from the outlet. Always hold the AC adapter
when connecting or disconnecting the power.
Always disconnect the AC adapter from the outlet
when the instrument is not used for any extended pe-
riod of time.
Always use an AC adapter that meets YAMAHA speci-
fications. The use of any other AC adapter may cause
damage.
Never place your hands or feet underneath the pedal.
Doing so can result in pinched hands or feet.
Never touch the rotating fans. Doing so can result in
pinched fingers, etc.
Never use the mallets for anything other than playing
the instrument. Doing so can result in injury or acci-
dents. Do not allow children to use the mallets in any
way that may pose a danger to themselves or others.
Lock the stoppers on the casters when the instrument
is not in use.
When adjusting the playing surface height (described
on page 29), make sure that the procedure is per-
formed by at least two persons. Attempting to adjust
the height alone can result in the instrument overturn-
ing and create a danger.
Never touch the areas shown below when adjusting
the height. Doing so can result in pinched hands.
Make sure to hold the side frame when making height
adjustments.
Cautions when using the instrument
Before using the vibraphone, thoroughly read the cautions described below.
◆
Cautions when assembling
• Whenever assembling or dismantling the instrument, make
sure that all procedures are carried out as described in this
manual. Improper assembly of the instrument can result in
poor function or noise.
◆
When handling
•Never strike the tone bars with glockenspiel mallets or any
other solid objects. Doing so can dent or scratch the tone bars
or alter their pitch.
•Treating the controller or driver roughly can damage the inter-
nal circuit board, etc. Please use caution.
◆
Transporting
• When moving the instrument, move it gently avoiding shocks
and impacts. Also make sure that the AC adapter is discon-
nected and the caster stoppers are unlocked. Lift the instru-
ment slightly whenever moving it over surfaces that are not
smooth or flat.
• When transporting the instrument by car, dismantle the entire
instrument and pack it securely. To dismantle the instrument,
reverse the order of assembly.
◆
Maintenance
•Tone bars can be cleaned using a soft, dry cloth or silicon
cloth. Stains that are still visible may be wiped using off with a
small amount of ethyl alcohol applied to a soft cloth. Never
use thinner, benzine, or a wet cloth.
◆
Replacing parts
• Parts such as switches, volume control, jacks, are called con-
sumable parts and their function will deteriorate over time.
The level of deterioration will vary depending upon the condi-
tions under which the instrument is used however it cannot be
avoided. When replacing consumable parts, please consult
with the dealer from whom you purchased the instrument.
◆
Keep this manual
•
After reading this manual, keep it in a safe place for future
reference.
Do not touch these
areas when adjusting
the height.
Tighten bolts securely after determining the desired
height. Using the instrument with loose bolts can re-
sult in the instrument collapsing, noise, or other
troubles. Tighten the bolts occasionally.

Align the legs from above so that the slide legs slide into the corresponding leg holes. Adjust to the
desired height and then securely tighten each slide leg fixing bolt, aligning it with the corresponding
notch of the slide leg. Fixing bolt and notch are aligned when the next lower notch is flush with the
upper leg flange.
, After fixing the legs, connect the
pedal with the sustain damper.
Loosen the center rod fixing bolts to
extend the center rod, and insert the
center rod into the fitting of the rod
connector. Align the groove in the cen-
ter rod with the tip of the fixing bolt, and
then securely tighten the fixing bolt.
When a slide leg fixing bolt is tightened in between two notches,
there is a danger of the slide leg slipping. Always make sure
that the slide legs are held securely.

⁄6 Height Adjustment
Height adjustment should always be performed by at least 2 persons.
To adjust the height of the tone bars, first remove the round belt (fan belt), driver, controller and tone
bars*, and loosen the center rod fixing bolts. (* To remove the tone bars, disengage the springs on
the low sound side, and then unhook the string from the post.)
Support both frame ends by hand (do not touch the metal parts shown in the illustration), and loosen
the slide leg fixing bolts.
Assembly
For height adjustment, make
sure to support the instrument
by the wooden frame. Do not
touch the metal parts.
Frame
Do not touch !
⁄7 This completes the assembly of the instrument.
To play, connect the supplied AC adapter to the DC 12-15V IN jack of the controller.
Lift the frame ends to the desired height and then securely tighten each slide leg fixing bolt, aligning
it with the corresponding notch of the slide leg. Bolt and notch are aligned when the next higher notch
is flush with the upper leg flange. (Refer to step
m on page 24.)
When a slide leg fixing bolt is tightened in between two notches,
there is a danger of the slide leg slipping. Always make sure
that the slide legs are held securely.
