Cautions
Please read the following instructions carefully before using your marimbas.
Installation Location
Use or storage in the following locations may cause damage,
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 ex-
cessive heat.
In excessively cold environment.
In places with excessive humidity or dust.
Locations subject to vibrations.
Handling
Never place an object on or lean against the instrument, as
this may cause damage to the tone bars and frame parts or
topple the instrument, which is extremely dangerous.
Do not use hand orchestra bell mallets or other hard objects
on your marimbas. The resulting dents or scratches in the
tone bars could impair the sound. Also avoid hitting the tone
bars hard with a hard mallet. The tone bars can crack.
Moving and Transporting the Instrument
Before moving the instrument, make sure that the caster
brakes are released. Also make sure to lift the instrument
slightly when moving over rough surfaces.
When the instrument must be transported to a different lo-
cation, disassemble it to the same state as when it was
purchased, taking care to pack each component properly.
Disassembly steps are in the opposite order of assembly.
When Not in Use
•Always engage the caster brakes.
Maintenance
The tone bars should be polished from time to time using a
soft and dry cloth or silicone cloth. Stains that cannot be
removed with a dry cloth may be wiped off using a small
amount of ethyl alcohol. Never use thinner or benzene or a
wet cloth for cleaning purplses.
Keep This Manual for Future Reference
After reading, make sure to keep the manual in a safe place.
Assembly Cautions
When assembling/disassembling the instrument, do
so with at least two persons and follow the instructions
outlined in this manual. Assembly in the wrong order
can cause the pipes to drop which may result in an
injury, impair the performance functionality of the in-
strument or cause noise.
After final adjustment of the legs the fixing screws
must be tightened securely to prevent loosening.
Looseness may cause the instrument to shift during
performance and can also cause noise and other prob-
lems. Retighten the screws from time to time.
