- Be sure to use the supplied accessory screws.
Improper installation of the speakers could cause them to fall and cause damage or injuries to persons
nearby. Please check the following conditions of all the loudspeakers in this series always before they are
rigged.
- Do not use any other method than the one prescribed in this manual.
- Ensure and check all the speaker riggings are sufficiently secure to be used before using them. Damaged
components must be withdrawn from use immediately.
- Ensure the supplied bolts are used to fix the rigging accessories instead of the pre-inserted screws.
- Any installation (permanent or temporary) must be securely attached to the structure of the building using
chain, steel wire or web straps that are certified and load rated for the loudspeaker system.
Consideration must be taken when determining the loading on the structure to include loudspeakers and
rigging hardware, and the appropriate safety factor can then be decided upon. If you are in any doubt
whatsoever, please contact the retailer or dealer from which you purchased this product. A reputable rigging
organisation should also be able to advise on legislation regarding safety factors for suspended systems of
this type.
- Small parts such as flat washer, spring washer and nut out of the reach of children and infants. If
accidentally swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
- When you use any commercially-available eyebolts, please use the
eyebolts meeting the following size and specification:
NOTE only for XY-3B:
The nuts of the threaded fixing points on XY-3B are structured so
that bolts cannot pass through them. (max threaded length is
15mm.)
- Screw the eye bolts into the nuts so that they are engaged within the
range of 10 to 15 mm (0.39 to 0.59 in.) and then tighten the nuts with a
spanner while matching the direction of the eye bolts to fix them in
place. (Fig. 3-1-1-A)
- The safe working load limits of an eyebolt are different depending on
an inclined angle of the wire attached to the eyebolt. If the suspension
angle of the wire attached to the eyebolt is inclined (not vertical) and
correctly oriented in the plane of pull, be sure to read the catalogue of
the eye bolt for details of the safe working load limits depending on the
inclined angle. It is generally recommended that an angle of the wire
attached to the eye bolt correctly oriented in the plane of pull be 45
degrees at maximum. Do not suspend the eye bolts as shown in the
right figure. (Fig. 3-1-1-B)
