2.6 - INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 

Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, they require regular inspection and routine maintenance 

to ensure proper functionality. Before suspending or pole mounting any speaker system, always inspect all components (enclosure, 

suspension frames or brackets, pins, eyebolts, etc.) for cracks, deformations, corrosion, or missing/loose/damaged parts that 

could reduce strength and safety of the array. Do not suspend or pole mount the speaker until the proper corrective action has 

been taken. 

Installed systems should be inspected at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of all corners and load-bearing 

surfaces for signs of cracking, water damage, de-lamination, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the loud-

speaker enclosure.

Accessory suspension hardware provided with or for VTX systems must be inspected for fatigue at least annually or as required 

by local ordinance. The inspection shall include a visual survey of the material for signs of corrosion, bending or any other condition 

that may decrease the strength of the fastener. Additionally, any eyebolts shall be checked for possible spin-out of the enclosure.

For all other hardware and fittings, refer to the hardware manufacturer’s inspection and maintenance guidelines for process .

Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in suspending speaker systems, should inspect all parts and 

components.
