Instructions
Never incorporate equipment or accessories not approved by L-Acoustics.
Read all the related PRODUCT INFORMATION documents shipped with the products before
exploiting the system.
Do not store the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
Respect the Working Load Limit (WLL) of third party equipment.
L-Acoustics is not responsible for any rigging equipment and accessories provided by third party manufacturers.
Verify that the Working Load Limit (WLL) of the suspension points, chain hoists and all additional hardware
rigging accessories is respected.
Respect the maximum configurations and the recommended safety precautions.
For safety issue, respect the maximum configurations outlined in this manual. To check the conformity of
any configuration in regards with the safety precautions recommended by L-Acoustics, model the system in
Soundvision and refer to the warnings in Mechanical Data section.
Be cautious when flying a loudspeaker configuration.
Always verify that no one is standing underneath the loudspeaker array when it is being raised. As the array
is being raised, check each individual element to make sure that it is securely fastened to the adjacent element.
Never leave the array unattended during the installation process.
As a general rule, L-Acoustics recommends the use of safety slings at all times.
Be cautious when ground-stacking a loudspeaker array.
Do not stack the loudspeaker array on unstable ground or surface. If the array is stacked on a structure, platform,
or stage, always check that the latter can support the total weight of the array.
As a general rule, L-Acoustics recommends the use of safety straps at all times.
Take into account the wind effects on dynamic load.
When a loudspeaker assembly is deployed in an open air environment, wind can produce dynamic stress to the
rigging components and suspension points.
If the wind force exceeds 6 bft (Beaufort scale), lower down and/or secure the loudspeaker array.
Read the USER MANUAL before operating the system.
Use the loudspeaker system components described in the user manual and follow the operating instructions.
Do not expose the product to extreme conditions.
