SAFETY STATEMENT FOR QUICKFLY RIGGING
Please read this Statement carefully and in its entirety. It contains important information regarding safety issues, including
guidelines for general safe use of rigging systems as well as advisories on government regulations and liability laws.
This Statement assumes that the owners and/or users of a QuickFly
®
system are knowledgeable and experienced in the
areas of rigging and flying loudspeaker systems. Many issues of crucial concern, such as the determination of appropriate-
ness and condition of venue rigging points, cannot be addressed here. Therefore, the user must assume all responsibility for
the appropriate use of QuickFly systems in any particular location or circumstance.
The suspension of large, heavy objects in public places is subject to numerous laws and regulations at the national/federal,
state/provincial, and local levels. The user must assume responsibility for making sure that use of any QuickFly system and
its components in any particular circumstance or venue conforms to all applicable laws and regulations in force at the time.
Load Ratings and Specifications
Long-term safe operation is a central concern in the design and manufacture of any rigging/flying system. Meyer Sound has
taken great care in material selection and component design. In all critical cases, load points are redundant, with a safety
margin that allows one or more load points to fail while maintaining system integrity. After manufacture, all load-critical sys-
tem components are individually inspected.
All load ratings and other specifications given in this manual are the result of accepted engineering practice and careful test-
ing. However, such specifications and ratings are subject to change. Users are advised to check the QuickFly section of the
Meyer Sound website at
www.meyersound.com
or contact Technical Support at regular intervals to check for updated or revised information.
