• Always keep marimba ends at equal heights.
• Do not release the end levers at the same time.

contaminate the wood.
THE MARIMBA SHOULD ONLY BE LIFTED BY THE END FRAMES.
• Lifting by the rails will cause the rails to come out of their slots.
• When the marimba is moved, pass VERY SLOWLY through
doorways, over doorjambs, electrical cords, and uneven surfaces.
