ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE LINKING STRAP FITTING IS

SECURELY LOCKED INTO THE TRACK, THAT THE LOCKING PIN IS FULLY

SEATED INTO THE BASE OF THE TRACK AND THAT THERE IS NO TWIST IN

THE CHAIN BEFORE LIFTING ANY LOUDSPEAKER ENCLOSURE OVERHEAD.

To remove the Xvsl linking strap, grasp the locking-pin knob and pull out while applying pressure

on the hinge to slide the hinge base along the track. The three stud feet will come out of the track

once they are aligned with the track cutouts. For added safety, the locking pin has a special shape

that engages with the track to prevent it from vibrating out of the track hole during use. If the

locking-pin knob seems difficult to pull out when removing the hinge, wiggle the fitting while pulling

out on the knob. When the locking pin on the fitting is centered in the track hole, the pin will easily

release.

Xvsd Downfill Strap:

 Two Xvsd downfill straps are used to attach an Xfil1 or Xfil2 downfill

enclosure below any of the other X-Line enclosures. Each downfill strap consists of two rigging

fittings connected by an alloy-steel chain. The Xvsd chain is shorter than that of the Xvsl and

longer than that of the Xvsg. Each fitting is a proprietary triple-stud fitting that has a large steel

locating plunger. The plunger not only locates in the round cutouts in the track, but also extends

into the base of the track for extra strength.

To install the Xvsd triple-stud fittings in the enclosure rigging track, grasp the fitting with one hand

and pull the spring-loaded safety locking pin out with your free hand. Continue to pull until the

locking pin retracts above the three stud feet of the fitting. Insert the three round feet on the end of

the fitting into the round cutouts in the track and slide the fitting to the desired position. Center the

locking pin of the fitting over one of the track cutouts. Release the locking pin. The pin should

extend beyond the bottom of the fitting and should lock into the round recess in the base of the

track with the locking pin retracting to its normal position as shown in Figure 6. If the pin does not

lock into the base of track, nudge it along the track and wiggle as necessary until it settles into

position. When locked, the fitting will be immovable in the track. Although it is normal for the chain

of the Downfill strap to wrap around the side of the enclosures, the user must be careful not to

insert a twist in the chain when installing the second end. A twist will result in the downfill hinge

assembly being shorter and will introduce excessive forces in the chain.

ALWAYS CHECK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DOWNFILL STRAP FITTING IS

SECURELY LOCKED INTO THE TRACK, THAT THE LOCKING PIN IS FULLY

SEATED INTO THE BASE OF THE TRACK AND THAT THERE IS NO TWIST IN

THE CHAIN BEFORE LIFTING ANY LOUDSPEAKER ENCLOSURE OVERHEAD.

To remove the Xvsd linking strap, grasp the locking-pin knob and pull out while applying pressure

on the hinge to slide the hinge base along the track. The three stud feet will come out of the track

once they are aligned with the track cutouts. For added safety, the locking pin has a special shape

that engages with the track to prevent it from vibrating out of the track hole during use. If the

locking-pin knob seems difficult to pull out when removing the hinge, wiggle the fitting while pulling

out on the knob. When the fitting locking pin is centered in the track hole, the pin will easily

release.
