PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
Please keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
WARNING
Always follow the basic precautions listed below to
avoid the possibility of serious injury or even death
from the chimes overturning, falling, the assembly
running out of control or the parts falling.
• Lock the casters except when moving or transporting the
chimes.
• Use a sufficient number of people when moving or transporting
the chimes.
• The chimes should only be moved across smooth, flat surfaces
when using the casters. Always move the chimes slowly,
supporting the side frames as shown in the illustration. Never
move the chimes on a sloped, unstable, or gravel surface.
• Never run when moving or transporting the chimes. Doing so
can result in the chimes running out of control, hitting an
obstacle or wall and causing serious injury.
• With the sound tubes attached, do not lift the chimes and do not
go up or down stairs with the chimes. Only move the chimes
after the unit has been disassembled.
• Do not go near the chimes during an earthquake. Strong shaking
during an earthquake could cause the chimes to move or tip
over, possibly causing injury.
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:
• When transporting the chimes, make sure that all caster locks
are released.
• When removing the chimes from the package, raising the chimes
and assembling the stand, always use two or more people.
Failure to do so might result in damage to the chimes or the
chimes overturning, and possibly causing injury.
• Assemble the chimes in the proper sequence by following the
assembly instructions in this manual. Failure to do so might
result in chimes overturning, and possibly causing injury.
• Make sure to tighten the screws or bolts regularly. Failure to do
so might result in misalignment of the chimes during playing,
noises, possibly causing injury.
• Make sure to confirm that the wire is not damaged before every
playing. Replace the wire if it is damaged. Failure to do so might
result in the sound tubes falling, and possibly causing injury.
• Do not recklessly swing the chime mallets. It may injure people
or damage surrounding objects.
• Make sure to periodically check that the screws and bolts are not
loose. Use the included hex key of the YCHS7006. For models
other than YCHS7006, use the hex key you own or consult
qualified Yamaha service personnel.
• Keep small parts (such as wires, wire caps, screws or bolts)
away from small children who might accidentally swallow them.
• Replace the wire cap if it is damaged.
• Do not directly touch the frayed wire with your hand.
• Before playing, make sure to check that the tops of all the sound
tubes are in line. Failure to do so might result in the sound tubes
falling, and possibly causing injury.
• Make sure to check that the wires are properly secured before
every playing. Failure to do so might result in the sound tubes
falling, and possibly causing injury.
• Do not insert your finger, hand or foot in any gaps on the
casters, height adjustment mechanism or active part of
dampers. Doing so can result in pinching your finger/hand/foot,
and possibly causing injury.

NOTICE
• When transporting the chimes, remove all sound tubes from
the chime stand. After the sound tubes are removed, wrap
them in a soft cloth, etc., to prevent scratching while
transporting.
• When attaching or removing the sound tubes, do so in a
place where there is sufficient room, so that the tubes do not
come into contact with other objects.
• When transporting or moving the instrument, do not subject it
to strong shocks.
• The sound tube’s pitch and/or tone may change if the tubes
are scratched or bent. Be careful to avoid this.
• Hit the Head cap when playing the chime. Never directly hit
the sound tube with the chime mallet. Failure to do so might
result in damage to the sound tube.
• Do not use hammers other than chime mallets for playing the
chimes. Doing so can result in damage to the sound tube.
• Do not use the chime mallets for anything other than playing
the chimes.
• Always use the chimes on a flat, level surface. The chimes
will not function properly on a sloped surface.
• Do not rest your weight, or place heavy objects on the
damper pedal. Doing so can result in damage to the damper.
• When not playing the chimes, contact the damper with the
sound tubes. Doing so prevents resonance of the sound
tubes from the acoustic sound of surrounding instruments.
• Do not keep the chimes in an environment with high
temperature or high humidity.
• When cleaning the product, wipe with a soft and dry cloth. Do
not use thinners or polishing preparations.
INFORMATION
• When exposed to the air, the sound tubes may discolor over
time, but this does not affect the sound quality.
• Use the sound tube and chime stand in the correct
combination. When a sound tube for the YCH6018 is attached
to the YCHS7018, the reverberation cannot be shortened by
the damper pedal.
• The illustrations as shown in this manual are for instructional
purposes only, and may appear somewhat different from
those on your instrument.

Assembly Procedure
Attaching the Sound Tubes
Install the sound tubes with the damper released.
1.Put the sound tubes on a stable, flat, level
surface.
To prevent damage to the tubes, place a soft cloth on
the floor where the tubes will be placed.
2.Remove the protective film that was applied
to the sound tube surface.
3.Hook both end balls of the wire in the
grooves of the hanger.
At this time, turn the note name toward the player.
Replacing the Wire
1.Hold the sound tube while being careful not
to contact other sound tubes and stand,
detach the end balls from the grooves of the
hanger, and then remove the sound tube.
2.Put the sound tubes on a stable, flat, level
surface.
To prevent damage to the tubes, place a soft cloth on
the floor where the tubes will be placed.
3.Remove the wire caps.
When removing the wire cap, pass the wire through
the slit of the wire cap.
4.Replace the wire.
5.Attach the wire caps to the sound tube.
The wire is structured by multiple strands of thin
metal wires. When a thin metal wire is cut, replace
the wire with a wire which is not damaged. If the
wire is broken, the sound tube might fall, and possi-
bly causing injury.
NOTE
• Replace the wire cap if it is damaged. If you keep using the
damaged wire cap, the wire will be easily damaged. Please
contact qualified Yamaha service personnel about the wire cap
(sold separately) for replacement.
• Since the wire caps are very small and can be easily lost, be
careful when handling them.

Preparation Before Playing
Play the chimes on a flat, level surface.
In YCH7018 and YCHS7018, if some sound tubes are
in contact with the damper felt while releasing the
damper, adjust the four casters according to the
steps below.
In YCH6018, if some sound tubes are in contact with
the damper felt even while the damper is released,
place the chimes on a flat, level surface.
For the YCHS7006, place the chimes where all sound
tubes are not in contact with the guide plate.
Adjusting the Height of the Casters
(YCH7018, YCHS7018)
1.Turn the lock nut on upper of the caster
counterclockwise to release the height lock.
2.Turn the bolt cap of each caster using the
included tuning key to adjust the chimes
height from the floor.
Turning it clockwise raises the height away from the
floor, while turning it counterclockwise lowers it
toward the floor.
3.After the height is adjusted, turn the lock nut
clockwise to lock the height.
Adjusting the Damper Pedal (YCH7018,
YCH6018, YCHS7018)
The damper holds the sound tubes with the damper felt to shorten the
reverberation of the chime sound. While pressing the damper pedal,
the damper is released and reverberations are heard. When you stop
pressing the damper pedal, the damper will work and the reverberation
will stop.
The position of the damper pedal can be adjusted by
the following steps.
1.Loosen the fixing bolt.
2.Adjust the position of the damper pedal.
3.Tighten the fixing bolt to fix the damper
pedal.
Using the damper stopper
You can keep the damper release by pushing in the
damper stopper while pressing the damper pedal. To
release the damper stopper, press the damper pedal
again.
NOTE
• When the depth of pressing the pedal is insufficient, the
damper stopper cannot be pushed in. In this case, adjust the
damper pedal position so that you can fully depress the pedal.
