PRECAUTIONS Please read the following instructions carefully before using your vibes. q 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 excessive heat. • In excessively cold environment. • In places with excessive humidity or dust. • Locations subject to vibrations. The driver and the controller, in particular, must be protected from high humidity to avoid corrosion and short circuit. q Do Not Use Outdoors Avoid using the instrument outdoors. Avoid exposure to rain or moisture. q Power Supply Make sure to use the supplied AC adapter. Use of different adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty. q Handling • Never place an object on or lean against the instru- ment, as this may cause damage to the tone bars and frame parts or topple the instrument, which is extremely dangerous. • Do not use hard orchestra bell mallets or other hard objects on your vibes. The resulting dents or scratches in the tone bars could impair the sound. • Rough handling of the controller and/or the driver may cause damage to the internal circuitry. • Never try to disassemble the controller or driver, as this may result in severe damage. q Moving and Transporting the Instrument • Move the instrument carefully to avoid shocks. Be- fore moving the instrument, make sure that the AC adapter is disconnected and 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 location make sure to fully disassemble it, taking care to pack each component properly. Disassembly steps are in the opposite order of assembly. q When Not in Use • Make sure to turn off the power switch and discon- nect the AC adapter from the outlet. • Always engage the caster brakes. q 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 purposes. q 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, make sure to follow the procedure outlined in this manual. Assembly in the wrong order may impair the performance and functionality of the instrument or cause noise. • Make sure to adjust the wire clip positions after assembly. (YV-3910/3710/3700: P. 17) • Height adjustment of the striking surface (YV3910/3710/3700: P. 18, YV-2700/2700G/ 1600A/520: P 25) should be performed by AT LEAST 2 PERSONS. • 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 problems. Retighten the screws from time to time. 1
