1.3.1 Wind loads
WARNING!
Potential risk of personal injury and material
damage!
Flying loudspeakers overhead at wind forces higher than 6 bft
(22-27 knots, 39-49 km/h, 25-31 mph) is not recommended.
If the wind force exceeds 8 bft (34-40 knots,
62-74 km/h, 39-46 mph):
▪ Make sure that no person remains in the vicinity of the array.
▪ Lower and secure the array.
1.4 Operational safety
▪ The assembly should always be carried out by two persons.
▪ During assembly, pay attention to the possible risk of crushing.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
▪ Observe all instructions given on the respective instruction labels
of the rigging components, such as load beams, flying and
compression frames, touring carts, and loudspeaker cabinets.
▪ In connection with the d&b Z5711 ArraySight sender unit (laser
inclinometer), take precautions to prevent anyone from looking
directly into the laser beam, and wear appropriate eye
protection.
▪ Be aware that any object or tool left on the top of the array
during setup may fall when the array is operated. Always check
that no tools or other objects are left on the array before final
hoisting.
▪ When chain hoists are in operation, ensure that there is nobody
directly underneath or in the vicinity of the load.
▪ Do not under any circumstances climb on the array.
