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:
Never run when moving or transporting the instrument
using the casters. Doing so may result in the instrument
hitting an obstacle or wall and causing serious injury.
If you are planning to transport the instrument by car,
disassemble it to its original condition at the time of
purchase (see page 4), and pack it securely. Trans-
porting the instrument without packing might result in
damage to it. To disassemble the instrument, follow the
assembly procedure in reverse order.
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
Do not place anything on top of the instrument. Doing
so might cause the tone bars or the rails to become
distorted or deformed.
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.
Replace any cracked tone bars immediately. The end
of a cracked tone bar can be very sharp, and might cut
your hands.
Do not use the mallet for any purpose other than playing
the instrument. Otherwise, it might cause injury or other
accidents. Be careful to ensure that children do not use
the mallet to hit other individuals, place the mallet in
their mouth, or do other dangerous things.
Never insert your hands or feet into moving parts such
as under the casters. Otherwise, they might be caught
and injured.
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, cause damage to the tone bars or frame, or
injury to you or others.
Do not disassemble
Repairs or part replacement should not be attempted
unless relevant 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
Assemble (or disassemble) the instrument on a at,
sturdy surface. If you place it on an unstable surface,
such as on a wobbly platform, or on a tilted or uneven
surface, the instrument might fall.
Assemble the instrument in the proper sequence by fol-
lowing the assembly instructions in this manual. Also, be
sure to tighten the screws or bolts regularly. Failure to
do so may result in damage to the instrument or cause
the instrument to overturn, possibly causing injury.
When assembling the instrument, be careful not to get
your ngers pinched. In particular, when assembling
the rails and resonators, two people must work together
while checking each step carefully.
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.
Do not carry the assembled instrument up or down
stairs. Doing so is dangerous as parts might fall, or you
might lose your balance and fall. Be sure to transport the
instrument disassembled.
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.
The instrument should be moved only 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.

NOTICE
To avoid damage to the product, follow the advice below.
n
Handling
Do not handle this product roughly. Otherwise,
the product may be damaged.
Use a mallet suitable for playing the marimba.
Playing the instrument with an inappropriate mal-
let might cause dents or scratches on the tone
bars, or cause them to go out of tune.
Do not use the instrument in locations with poor
ventilation.
When moving the instrument, make sure all
caster stoppers are released. Lift the instrument
slightly whenever moving it over surfaces that
are not smooth or at.
When moving the instrument, move it gently
avoiding shocks and impacts. The instrument is
sensitive to shocks and may be damaged.
If the instrument is moved frequently, screws,
parts, etc., may become loose. After moving the
instrument, check to make sure all screws, parts,
etc., are rmly fastened. Firmly tighten all loose
items.
Do not apply excessive force to lift the frame end
as it may pull the gas spring o󰀨 from the leg.
Do not use or store the instrument in the follow-
ing locations. Doing so might cause the instru-
ment to malfunction.
- Places subject to extremely high temperatures
(places exposed to direct sunlight, near heating
equipment, etc.)
- Places subject to extremely low temperatures
- Near moisture (bathroom, wet oor, etc.) or
places subject to high humidity
- Places exposed to rainwater
- Places with a lot of dust
- Places subject to extensive vibration
n
Maintenance
To clean the tone bars, use a dry, soft cloth or
silicone cloth. Never use thinner, benzene, or wet
cloth. Doing so might cause damage to the in-
strument, such as corroding the surface coating
of the tone bars.

CAUTION
For safety, assembly should be performed by two or more people in a place that provides suf-
ficient space.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers when assembling the instrument. In particular, when assem-
bling the rails and resonators, two people must work together while checking each step carefully.

Connect the large and the small end legs using the reinforcement stays.
* Before proceeding to the next step, make sure that the slide guide fixing bolts of the large and small end legs
are securely fastened.
CAUTION
Do not loosen the side guide fixing bolts at this stage. Loosening them would cause a sud-
den rise of the frame end, which could be very dangerous.

Set the tone bars.
5-1 Set the natural tone bars first.
With one person holding the suspension cords on the bass side and the other person holding the sus-
pension cords on the treble side securely with both hands, gently place the tone bars on the rails. Align
each tone bar individually and hook its cord onto the corresponding post. After confirming that the cord is
secured to every post, fix the tone bars by pulling the right and left cords forward from the large end side
and hooking the two springs to each other.
NOTICE When setting the tone bars, be careful not to damage them.

ASSEMBLY

5-2 Since the YM-4600A does not feature a resonance regulator, insert the resonators into the resonator
holders as shown below.
* The resonators are factory adjusted so that the optimum resonance level is ob-
tained at 23°C (73.4°F). If desirable resonance is not available due to the tempera-
ture being higher or lower than 23°C (73.4°F), adjust the setting of the resonators.
Move the resonators to fit into shorter grooves when the temperature is higher and
into longer grooves when the temperature is lower.

Adjust the height of the tone bars.
CAUTION
When adjusting the tone bar height, be sure to have two people supporting the frame, one at
each end using both hands.
Do not place your feet under the resonators. Otherwise, your feet might get caught.
While supporting the frame end of the leg by hand, loosen the fixing bolt of the slide guide on both the large
end and small end sides.
Adjust the height to the desired level and tighten the fixing bolts securely.
When adjusting the height, use the lines on the slide guide for reference and make the tone bars in parallel
with the floor surface.
Upon completion of assembly, check to make sure that each bolt is tightened securely.
