INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The K array flying systems are an assembly of mechanical devices, and are therefore subject to wear and tear over
prolonged use, as well as damage from corrosive agents, extreme impact, or inappropriate use. Such inspection
includes examination of all load-bearing components for any sign of undue wear, twisting, buckling, cracking, rusting,
or other corrosion. Metal seams and welds should be examined for any sign of separation or deformation. HP Sound
Equipment strongly recommends that written documentation be maintained on each K array flying system, noting date
of inspection, name of inspector, points of system checked, and any anomalies discovered.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Any component found to be defective, or any safety-related component you even suspect might be defective, should be replaced
with the equivalent, approved part. Parts specific to a K array system should be ordered directly from HP Sound Equipment. No
attempt should be made to substitute what appears to be equivalent or “ mostly the same ” generic replacements. To the best of our
knowledge, most of these suppliers are reputable and their products are reliable. However, HP Sound Equipment has no way of
assuring the quality of products made by these various suppliers. Therefore, HP Sound Equipment is not responsible for problems
caused by components that were not supplied by HP Sound Equipment.
15. MAINTENANCE

inspection and maintenance. In touring applications, key components must be inspected be for
each use.
