Compression mode setup

For Compression mode setup, we recommend the use of the

dedicated d&b XSL compression set including the B2467.072

Crank lever hoist to manually curve the array.

WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and/or

damage to material.

When using a motor hoist instead of the lever hoist, observe the

following:
▪ The maximum permitted compression force is 

750 kg

(0.75 t/7.5 kN).

The hoist overload clutch must be correspondingly adjusted.

▪ The motor hoist must be equipped with two independent brakes

(according to the German 

D8 Plus standard).

▪ Observe your local legal requirements and Rules for the

Prevention of Accidents (RPA).

Provided...:
▪ The touring cart is loaded as described in and in position.

▪ The load beam has already been attached to the flying frame,

as described in the previous section 

Þ

 Chapter 4.1.1

"Attaching the Load beam to the Flying frame" on page 25 and

the hoists are connected.

▪ The safety chain has already been attached to the flying frame,

as described in 

Þ

 Chapter 4.1.2 "Secondary safety"

on page 27.

▪ The entire assembly is lifted to a height of approx. 30 cm (1 ft)

above ground.

... proceed as follows:

1. Attaching the cable pick (Z5713)
1. Release the Locking pin of the coupling shackle.
2. Attach the coupling shackle to the dedicated hole position at

the rear end of the load beam.

3. Reinsert the Locking pin and ensure the pin is fully inserted and

locked.

4. Set suitable lengths of the individual loudspeaker cables, and

attach split sets when applicable and connect the cables

subsequently during the entire setup procedure.
