2.5. HARDWARE INSPECTION
It is of utmost importance to periodically check the
integrity of the entire structure of the hardware both
of the line array elements and of the frame bar.
Being these components placed under stress by
heavy weights, different places of use, continuous
transportation and more, they can be subject to da-
mage in the long term, despite the excellent quality of
the materials.
Here below you will find some precautions to fol-
low, at the discretion of the authorized staff:
1. Make sure there is no rust in the hardware or
locking pins. In case of rust use suitable and
certified products for its removal. The rust
could be deposited by other oxidized elemen-
ts or due to the oxidation of the element itself.
In the first case, the integrity of the component
must be checked after removing the rust; in the
second case, if the rust is only superficial, it can
be removed; if in removing it you notice that it
goes in depth you have to replace the element;
2. Check that the sliding bar of the rear hardwa-
re part remains in its rail (not above the “Rest
point” upwards and not more than at 0.25°
downwards). Otherwise the hardware part is
to be considered dangerous for any type of use
and, therefore, is to be replaced;
3. Check that the locking pins close correctly,
which means that the two steel balls come out
completely outside the locking pin body. It is
important to ensure the immobility of the pins
in the locking points;
4. Free the mechanical parts and the holes of the
hardware from any dust or other residues. This
will allow the correct insertion of the pins and
the right positioning of the hardware.
The inscriptions indicating the degrees of inclina-
tion are engraved in the hardware. This prevents any
cancellation, but in case of excessive corrosion for
other reasons, Outline can provide, if deemed appro-
priate, a replacement part and assistance.
All the hardware components are designed in com-
pliance with the safety regulations in force following
in-depth studies of the Outline R&D department and
subsequent certification by specialized engineers, in
compliance with the laws based on the EEC / EU di-
rectives (chap. 1.2).
