This manual details general rigging practices appropriate to
the sound industry, as they would apply to the rigging EAW
KF860 Series loudspeaker systems. It is intended to familiar-
ize the reader with rigging hardware and techniques for sus-
pending EAW KF860 Series loudspeaker systems overhead.
Only persons with the knowledge of proper hardware and
safe rigging techniques should attempt to suspend any sound
systems overhead. Prior to suspending any EAW KF860 Series
loudspeaker systems overhead, it is essential that the user
be familiar with the strength ratings, rigging techniques and
special safety considerations appropriate to suspending loud-
speaker arrays overhead. The rigging techniques and prac-
tices recommended in this manual are, of necessity, stated
in general terms to accommodate the many variations in
loudspeaker arrays and rigging configurations. As such, the
user is expressly responsible for the safety of all specific
EAW KF860 Series loudspeaker array designs and rigging con-
figurations and to ensure that all local safety regulations are
followed.
Securement strength requirements should take into consid-
eration any dynamic loading and other contributing factors
affecting the flown system. It is the responsibility of the
user to determine the proper safety factor in specific appli-
cations and the required strength rating of the connection
points. EAW strongly recommends that the EAW KF860 Series
loudspeaker systems be used in accordance with all federal,
state and local regulations, and strongly urges the user to
review and comply with all federal, state and local regula-
tions relative to proper securement of flying or hanging loads
prior to usage.
Some aspects of rigging and other related fields for which
EAW manufactures, sell or distributes equipment are poten-
tially hazardous. Any person using this equipment is person-
ally responsible for their own safety. EAW transactions are
made with the assumption that the purchaser is a qualified
individual or will have only qualified individuals perform work
with the equipment. EAW will not be liable for any damages
arising from the use of equipment sold to purchaser.
