5.  Attach each Hinge to the Hinge Tube by inserting a Quick Release Pin (removed in Step 

2) through both. 

6.  Insert a Quick Release Pin (removed in step 2) into each of the enclosure’s rear Hinge 

Tubes as a locking pin. See “Locking Pins” Section 6.4.5.  

7.  Lift the Array, with the KF730 attached only by its rear Hinges, to a comfortable working 

height for the next step.  

8.  Employing two people, one lifts the front of the KF730, rotating it on the attached rear 

Hinges. 

9.  The second person slides the KF730’s front Hinges into the suspended KF730’s Hinge 

Tubes.  

 

CAUTION:  When attaching the front Hinges, the normal configuration is tight packing the 
enclosure fronts unless otherwise configured by the Wizard.  

 

NOTE: It will usually be necessary to nudge the KF730 enclosure being attached backwards 
to line up its Hinges with the Hinge Tubes on the suspended enclosure above. 

 

10. Attach each Hinge to the Hinge Tube by inserting a Quick Release Pin (removed in step 

7) through both.  

11.  Repeat Steps 1 to 10 for additional KF730s. 
  

6.7.7 

Setting the Tilt Angle for the Entire Array 

Normally, the easiest method is to use a clinometer, such as a simple, bubble-
type angle finder (pictured). More sophisticated, albeit more expensive, 
electronic clinometers can also be used. 
 
Place the angle finder against one of the rigging tubes on the face of the 
uppermost enclosure in the array that can be physically reached. Adjust the 
angle of the entire array so that the face of this enclosure is set at its 
prescribed aiming angle listed in the KF730 Wizard on the 

Array Tab

  

6.8 

GROUND STACKING PROCEDURES 

Up to six KF730s and up to four SB730s may be ground-stacked. Always stack KF730s using the 
SB730(s) or the KF730 Fly-Bar as a base for the stack. 
 

DANGER: A ground stack of more than six KF730 enclosures may shift the center of gravity 
making the stack unstable. Failure to follow this warning may result in damage to the equipment 
damage, injury, or death. 
 
6.8.1 

Stacking With SB730(s) as the Base 

 
IMPORTANT NOTE:
 If using one or more SB730s as the stacking base, all KF730 and SB730 
enclosures are stacked right side up. Always stack all SB730s underneath the KF730s. 

  

1.  At the desired stacking location, position an SB730 on the floor with the Hinges on the 

top, this being the normal orientation for suspension.
