2.5 - ARE YOU NEW TO RIGGING?
If you are new to rigging, you should do the following:
• Know the rules for safe rigging.
• Attend a safe rigging seminar.
• Meet and establish a relationship with a licensed mechanical or structural engineer. Get in the habit of asking them questions
instead of assuming their answers. Learn from what they tell you.
• Research and understand the codes, practices, and requirements in the venues where you intend to operate your sound sys-

2.4 - IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
The information in this section has been assembled from recognized engineering data and is intended for informational purposes
only. None of the information in this section should be used without first obtaining competent advice with respect to applicability to
a given circumstance. None of the information presented herein is intended as a representation or warranty on the part of JBL.
Anyone making use of this information assumes all liability arising from such use.
All information presented herein is based upon materials and practices common to North America and may not directly apply to
other countries because of differing material dimensions, specifications, and/or local regulations. Users in other countries should
consult with appropriate engineering and regulatory authorities for specific guidelines.
Correct use of all included hardware is required for secure system suspension. Careful calculations should always be performed
to ensure that all components are used within their working load limits before the array is suspended. Never exceed the maximum
recommended load ratings.
Before suspending any speaker system always inspect all components (enclosure, rigging frames, pins, eyebolts, track fittings, etc.)
for cracks, deformations, corrosion, or missing/loose/damaged parts that could reduce strength and safety of the array. Do not
suspend the speaker until the proper corrective action has been taken. Use only load-rated hardware when suspending JBL sus-
pendable loudspeaker models.
