Rigging and suspension
Before rigging or suspending NEXT LA122/LA122W systems
,
inspect all
components and all hardware for any signs of damage or missing parts. If you find any
damaged, corroded or deformed parts, do not use them, replace them immediately. Do not
use hardware that isn’t load rated or that its’ rating is not enough to handle the system’s
weight with a good safety factor. Don’t forget that the hardware won’t just hold the systems
weight. It has to be sturdy enough to handle dynamic forces like winds without any part
deformation. NEXT-Proaudio advises customers to contact a licensed, professional engineer
regarding equipment installation.
NEXT LA122/LA122W system installation should only be carried out by qualified
personnel. Always use adequate protective clothing and equipment to prevent possible
injuries. Only install the systems on solid, levelled ground and isolate the surrounding area
during installation and operation, to prevent general public presence near the systems. Also,
be sure you understand all local and national regulations regarding equipment installation.
Failure to comply with these instructions may result on injury or death.
