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:
• 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 disassemble it is
dangerous and creates a high risk of 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. Failure to do so might
result in damage to the instrument or the instrument
overturning, and possibly causing injury.
• 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, and 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, and possibly causing injury.
• When lifting and transporting the instrument, support the side
frames with two or more people.
• The instrument should only be moved across smooth, flat
surfaces when using the casters. On a sloped, unstable 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 running out of
control, 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, and possibly causing injury.
• When the instrument rattles, makes noise or vibrates,
immediately stop using it, and then tighten all screws again.
Failure to do so might result in the instrument overturning, and
possibly causing injury.
• (YV2030MS only) Never touch the rotating pulleys. Doing so can
result in pinching your fingers, etc.
• Do not insert your hand or foot in any gaps on the casters or
active part of the pedal. Doing so can result in pinching your
hand or foot, and possibly cause injury.
• Do not play around the instrument. Doing so can result in
bumping into the instrument, and possibly causing 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 can result in the instrument overturning,
damage to the tone bars or frame, or causing injury to you or
others.
• Do not use the mallets for anything other than playing the
instrument. Doing so can result in injury or accidents. Do not
allow children to use the mallets in any way that may pose a
danger to themselves or others.
• Keep small parts out of the reach of infants. Your children may
accidentally swallow them.

NOTICE
To avoid the possibility of damage to the product, follow
the notices below.
Handling
• Do not 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.
• Do not use the instrument in locations with poor ventila-
tion.
• When moving the instrument, make sure that all caster
stoppers are released. Lift the instrument slightly when-
ever moving it over surfaces that are not smooth or flat.
• When moving the instrument, move it gently avoiding
shocks and impacts. The instrument is sensitive to
shocks and may become damaged.
• If the instrument is often moved, screws, parts, etc., may
become loose. After moving the instrument, check and
make sure all screws, parts, etc., are firmly fastened.
Firmly tighten all loose items.
• Do not apply excessive force to lift the frame end as it
may pull the gas spring off from the leg.
• Do not expose the instrument to rain, water, excessive
dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in
direct sunlight, near a heater, or in a car during the day)
to prevent the possibility of instrument disfiguration or
malfunction.
• Do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the
instrument, since this might discolor the instrument.
Maintenance
• When cleaning the tone bars, wipe with a soft and dry
cloth. Stains that are still visible may be wiped using off
with a small amount of ethyl alcohol applied to a soft
cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents or a wet cloth.
INFORMATION
Casters
Before playing the instrument, make sure that the casters
and legs are parallel. As the angle between the leg and the
caster approaches at a right angle, a rattling sound is more
likely to be generated from the caster when playing.

soft cloth on the floor where the main unit will be placed.
5. Turn the leg assembly upside down, put it on the
main unit, and then secure it with the four screws.
NOTE
If the direction of legs and main unit is not correct, the location
pins and holes may be misaligned, and may not be assembled
properly.
6. To prevent the pedal from moving uncontrollably,

Assembly
10.Insert the resonators into the grooves of the side
frame at the treble side.
When attaching the bass side of resonators, pass the edge
of the resonators through the grooves in the middle of reso-
nator holders from below. If the temperature is 23°C or
more, use the shallow grooves A; or if the temperature is
below 23°C, use the deeper grooves B, to get optimal reso-
nance.
NOTE
• Due to the structure of the instrument, the resonators
(both natural tone and accidental tone) can only be
installed in the correct position.
11.
Adjust the instrument height.
Pulling up the lever on the left and right leg raises the height
away from the floor, while pressing the instrument strongly
from above while pulling up the lever lowers it toward the
floor. When you release the lever, the instrument height is
fixed at that height.
NOTE
• The legs have a scale that serves as a guide for adjust-
ing the height.
• We recommend that you lower the height slightly more
than you intend, and then make minor adjustments
while raising it little by little.
• Adjust the left and right height at the same time to keep
the level of the tone bars.
• Grease is applied to the cylinders of the legs to change
the instrument height smoothly. If grease is sticks to
your hand, rinse it with running water.
• Unbackle the damper belt when you re-adjust the instru-
ment height.
12.Adjust the depth of the pedal pressing.
Unbuckle the damper belt, adjust the position of the pedal,
and then fix it by buckling the belt.
13.Make sure that all screws on each part are tight-
ened securely.
The assembly is now complete.
