User manual YAMAHA TG77E2

[. . . ] Bumping into the instrument may result in injury. it may also cause the instrument to fall over. If an earthquake occurs, strong shocks caused by the earthquake may overturn the instrument or cause it to move about. Stay away from the instrument during earthquakes. [. . . ] The chimes can overturn if moved with the caster locks engaged. â· The chimes should only be moved across smooth, flat surfaces when using the casters. never move the chimes on a sloped , unstable , or gravel surface. Doing so can cause the chimes to overturn or run out of control resulting in serious injury. Always move the chimes slowly, with two persons supporting the side columns as shown in the illustration on the right. Doing so can result in the chimes running out of control and hitting an obstacle or wall causing serious injury. If the chimes must be lifted when being moved, lift them carefully, using as many persons as possible to avoid injury. At this time, lift the chimes by holding the base section and supporting the side column making sure that the hanger section (from which the sound columns hang) remains in an upright position. Never lift the base section higher than the hanger section. Doing so can result in the sound columns coming off the hanger. â· Moving the instrument up or down stairs should never be done with the instrument assembled. 8 Do not keep the chime in a place where high temperatures and high humidity are present. doing so will result in the shortening of the instruments life. 9 For regular cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Never wipe with thinner, or polishing preparations. 1 When transporting or moving the instrument, do not subject it to strong shocks 2 The sound column's pitch and/or tone may change if the columns are scratched or bent. 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 removed. 4 When attaching or removing the sound columns, do so in a place where there is sufficient room so that the columns do not come into contact with other objects. 5 After the sound columns are removed, wrap them in a soft cloth, etc. At this time, make sure that the damper rest, attached at the center of the column, and the short section of the column is positioned upright. Fit the damper onto the side columns and lower the damper onto the damper rest. [. . . ] Next, secure the damper in its position with the damper wing bolts. Remove the damper stay, attached to the bottom of the damper, loosen the wing bolt on the damper stay, and attach the stay to the pedal hook. The pedal's position can be controlled by adjusting the length of the pedal stay with its two wing bolts. At this time, tighten the upper wing bolt first, then go on to tighten the lower bolt.
