Caution
Except for when mov-
ing the instrument,
always make sure that
both caster brakes
are engaged.
Playing the instrument without the brakes
engaged can result in the instrument moving
about or unwanted noise. Also, tuning or ad-
justing the pedal without the brakes engaged
is very dangerous. The instrument can unex-
pectedly move or fall over resulting in injury.
