5.3 Testing and Maintenance of the RS18 flying system
•
General: please keep regular maintenance attention to the RS18 flying system in order to provide
long and reliable service. NEXO recommends regular testing of loudspeaker rigging components,
preferably using a suitable test rig coupled with a visual inspection.
•
Fasteners: there are several critical points in the RS18 cabinets; primary concerns are:
- the grid screws attaching the grid to the cabinet;
- the screws attaching the connecting plates to the cabinet.
•
These fasteners should be regularly checked and tightened as necessary.
•
Cleaning: The exterior of the cabinet and the rigging system can be cleaned with a damp cloth
soaked in mild soapy water. On no account use solvent based cleaners , which may damage the
finishing of the cabinet
•
After cleaning, the rigging system must be treated with a suitable lubricant to prevent rusting. NEXO
recommends the use of Scottoil FS365 or equivalent which is a water-based lubricant with a mixture
of machine oil, surfactant and anti-rust treatment.
