IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!:
Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any loudspeaker product, inspect all hardware, suspension,
cabinets, transducers, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load rated
component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation or placement. Any such condition severely reduces the
safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of
the installation and any possible short-term, unexpected overloading.
Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment.
Consult a licensed, professional engineer regarding physical equipment installation. Ensure that all local, state and national
regulations regarding the safety and operation of loudspeakers and related equipment are understood and adhered to.
Rigging Safety Regulations:
• 2006/42/EC
• EN ISO 12100-1: 2004
• EN1991-1 / EN1993-1-1 / EN1993-1-8 / EN1999-1-1
• DGUV Vorschrift 17/18
• ANSI E1.8-2018
General Rules for Suspension
• Consult a professional mechanical or structural engineer, licensed in the jurisdiction of the sound system installation, to review, verify,
and approve all attachments to the building or structure.
• Employ the services of a certified, professional rigger for hoisting, positioning, and attaching the equipment to the supporting
structure.
• Correct use of all suspension hardware and components is imperative in sound system suspension and deployment.
• Always calculate suspended loads before lifting to make sure suspension components and hardware are used within their respective
load limits.
• Consult local codes and regulations to fully understand the requirements for suspended loads in the venue in which the equipment
will be suspended.
• Use only dedicated QSC LA108-AF and/or QSC LA112-AF Array Frames or the QSC LA-KIT-I installation kit (sold separately) for
suspending a loudspeaker array.
• Be absolutely certain of the integrity of any structural member intended to support suspended loads. Hidden structural members can
have hidden structural weakness.
• Never assume anything! Owner or third-party supplied suspension attachment points may not be adequate for suspending the
loads.
• Before lifting, always inspect all components (enclosures, suspension brackets, pins, frames, bolts, nuts, slings, shackles, etc.) for
cracks, wear, deformation, corrosion, missing, loose, or damaged parts that could reduce the strength of the assembly. Discard any
worn, defective, or suspect parts and replace them with new, appropriately load-rated parts.
