Care and maintenance

4.1  Transport/storing
During transport ensure the rigging components are not stressed or

damaged by mechanical forces. Use suitable transport cases.
We recommend the use of the d&b E7927 Touring case 2 x AL for

this purpose. The touring case provides specific trays and fixtures

for the AL Flying frame and AL Flying adapter.
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.

4.2  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 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.
