6. Flying the array
6.1. Hoisting the Array
Before the array is hoisted always pay attention to the following:
The hoists in use must be able to carry the total weight of the array.
When hoisting the array be aware of others in the vicinity of the load that are not
directly involved in the hoisting process.
When working on outdoor events especially, weather conditions unpredictable
dynamic forces and swinging of the array must be taken into account. Personal injury
could occur and/or damage to the rigging and loudspeaker cabinets.
When all the necessary adjustments have been made and safety checks carried out
the array can be hoisted to its
fi
nal operating position (trim height).
Ensure that no loudspeaker cables coming from the array get caught, cables coming
from the array should be strapped together while the system is hoisted.
Raise the array slowly and evenly and ensure that there is nobody direct underneath
or in the vicinity of the load whilst it is being raised.
6.2. Making Safe at Height
Once the array is at its
fi
nal trim height secure the secondary safety, (as described in
chapter 3.6. Secondary Safety).
