1. The T-CHIME will arrive in a separate box from the
YCH-6018 or YCH-7018 chimes. As you unbox the
Tough-Terrain Frame, you will see that the T-CHIME
handle is not attached. Additionally, a small metal bar
will be located between the low-end and high-end
wheel assembly. This bar is for shipping purposes only
and may be discarded.
2. The concert frame for Yamaha chimes will come fully
assembled. If you have already purchased the YCH-6018
or YCH-7018 chimes, it will need to be disassembled for
reassembly on the T-CHIME frame.
3. Remove the T-CHIME from the box. Place the high-end
wheel assembly with stationary wheels on the ground.

4. Next, place the low-end wheel assembly with swivel
wheels on the ground.
5. Insert the long lower cross bar into both wheel assem-
blies to attach them together. Finger tighten the screws.
Do not fully tighten the screws in each wheel assembly
just yet. Save that for the end, as it is helpful to have a
little give during the assembly process.
6. Attach the T-handle to the low-end wheel assembly using
the hex key provided in the T-CHIME box. Lock the swivel
casters when completed.
7. Now that the base of the T-CHIME is complete,
prepare to attach the YCH-6018 or YCH-7018
components to the T-CHIME frame.
8. Lock the wheels of the chime frame to avoid any
movement during disassembly.
9. Carefully remove all chime tubes. To avoid damage, lay
them down on a soft, level surface such as a blanket. If the
concert chimes are not already assembled, go to step #11.
Use care to not leave scratches when removing each tube
from the frame. Wearing soft gloves is recommended.

remove the screw at the top of the upper chime frame.
Ensure the safety of screws until the frame is put back
together.
11. Remove the upper chime frame by sliding it up and out
of the entire concert frame. Place it on a soft surface.

pull rod to the damper box attachment. Disconnect the
damper rod from the damper box and set it aside.
13. There are two screws attached to the plate under the
damper box on each side of the concert frame. Using
the hex key, remove each of the four screws, and set
them aside for later use.
14. The damper box is now disconnected from the concert
frame. Remove the damper box by sliding it up and out
of the concert frame.
15. There is a screw that attaches the lower crossbars to the
underside of the damper box. Loosen each screw with a
hex key and put it aside in a safe place for reassembly.

17. Remove each vertical tube post from the concert frame. 18. Place both tube posts in the T-CHIME frame. Do not fully

of the concert frame. Put the screws in a safe place
for reassembly.
