Maintenance and Care
Warning
The accessory can exhibit signs of wear over the years, i.e. from mechanical strain, corrosion,
or improper handling. If speakers are to be flown, this always means there is a high safety
hazard. If speakers are to be flown, this always means there is a high safety hazard.
As a basic principle, you must visually inspect the accessory every time you suspend it and
take it down. For fixed installations, you must inspect the speaker for signs of wear at regular
intervals.
During these inspections, you must especially look out for deformations, cracks, dents,
damage to threads, and corrosion. Mounting devices such as shackles, chains and wire ropes
also have to be checked for signs of wear or deformation carefully.
If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or if specific
faults are found, the accessory may no longer be used and you must send in the product to
KLING & FREITAG GmbH for inspection and repairs, if necessary. If defects are ascertained,
then you must send in the product to KLING & FREITAG GmbH for inspection and repairs, if
necessary.
The inspection requirements vary depending on application and country of use. Observe the
requirements that are relevant for you. If in doubt, contact local authorities.
In many countries, regular inspection of mounting components and accessories is required.
In most cases (e.g. german BGV C1), an additional annual inspection is required that must be
done by a technical expert. Additionally, a detailed inspection carried through by a legally
certified or official authority is required every four years.
In this context, it is very important to keep an inspection log book. In this inspection log
book, the data for every used accessory is entered at the periodic inspections, making the
data available at all times for possible inspections. This book should document maintenance
measures and inspection intervals and contain parts lists.
