Care and maintenance
10.1 Transport / Storing
During transport ensure the rigging components are not stressed or
damaged by mechanical forces.
Due to their surface treatment the rigging components are
temporarily protected against moisture. However, ensure the
components are in a dry state while stored or during transport.
10.2 etherCON connector socket protection
To prevent corrosion of the etherCON connector socket's spring
contacts, always make sure to properly attach (close) the
connector socket's dust cap during transport or when it is not in
use.
10.3 Visual and functional inspection
WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and/or
damage to material
To eliminate the potential risk of accident due to malfunctioning of
a component, regularly inspect all system components.
Cabinet enclosure
▪ Visual inspection of all fitting plates for obvious damage (e.g.
cracks or corrosion).
▪ Visual inspection of the rear rigging strand for obvious damage
(e.g. cracks, deformation or corrosion) including all drilled holes
of the component.
▪ Inspection of all fitting plates including front grills to ensure they
are securely attached.
▪ Regularly lubricate the sockets using WD-40
®
or a similar
product.
Front and Splay/Rear links
Visual inspection regarding deformation and damage (e.g. cracks
and corrosion) including all drilled holes of the component.
Locking pins
▪ Visual inspection for deformation, cracks and corrosion of the
component.
▪ Inspection for missing ball bearings and damage.
▪ Functional inspection of the release mechanism to ensure it
operates properly.
▪ Regularly lubricate the Locking pins using WD-40
®
or a similar
product.
