PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
CAUTION
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical injury to you or others, or
damage to the instrument or other property. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:
Do not disassemble
• Repairs or part replacement should not be attempted
unless instructions are provided in the manual.
•
Do not disassemble the gas spring. Since high-pressure
gas is sealed inside the gas spring, any attempt to disas-
semble it is dangerous and creates a high risk of injury.
Assembly
•
Assembling/disassembling the rack and/or mounting/re-
moving the instrument should always be done on a oor
that is at and stable. Doing so on an unstable, sloped, or
stepped surface can result in the instrument falling over.
• When adjusting the height with percussion instruments
other than the vibes (cymbals, snare, etc.) attached to
the rack, remove the instruments before adjusting, then
reattach after adjustment is complete. Adjusting height
with the instruments on the rack can result in pinched
ngers, hands, etc., causing injury.
• Assemble the instrument in the proper sequence by
following the assembly instructions in this manual. Also,
make sure to tighten the screws or bolts regularly. Fail-
ure to do so may result in damage to the instrument or
cause the instrument to overturn, possibly causing injury.
• Never mount an instrument using a clamp that does not
t the rack pipe size. Doing so can create a danger and
cause the instrument to fall o.
Transportation and Installation
• When assembling or moving the instrument, always
use two or more people. Failure to do so might result in
damage to the instrument or the instrument overturning,
possibly causing injury.
• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position
where it might accidentally fall over.
• Lock both left and right casters except when moving or
transporting the instrument. Failure to do so might result
in the instrument moving or overturning, possibly caus-
ing injury.
• When lifting and transporting the instrument, support the
side frames with two or more people.
• The instrument should only be moved across smooth,
at surfaces when using the casters. On a sloped, un-
stable or gravel surface, the instrument may overturn or
run out of control, and possibly cause injury.
• Never run when moving or transporting the instrument
using the casters. Doing so can result in the instrument
hitting an obstacle or wall and causing serious injury.
• Do not go near the instrument during an earthquake.
Strong shaking during an earthquake could cause the
instrument to move or tip over, resulting in damage to
the instrument or its parts, possibly causing injury.
Handling
• When the instrument rattles, makes noise or vibrates,
immediately stop using it, and tighten all screws again.
Failure to do so may result in the instrument overturning
and could possibly cause injury.
• Never touch the rotating pulleys. Doing so may result in
pinching your ngers, etc.
• Do not insert your hands or feet in any gaps on the
casters or active parts of the pedal. Doing so may result
in them being pinched and could possibly cause injury.
• Do not play around the instrument. Doing so may cause
you to bump into the instrument, possibly resulting in
injury. It also may cause the instrument to overturn. Do
not allow children to play around the instrument.
• Do not lean, rest your weight or place heavy objects on
the instrument. Doing so may result in the instrument
overturning, damage to the tone bars or frame, or injury
to you or others.
• Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your chil-
dren may accidentally swallow them.
Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modications to the instrument.
