Suspending the KLA12

WARNING!: Read and follow these instructions carefully. If the loudspeakers are not suspended properly, they could fall,

causing personal injury and damage to the equipment.

Rules for Suspension

• ConsultaProfessionalMechanicalorStructuralEngineer,licensedinthejurisdictionofthesoundsysteminstallation,toreview,verify,andapprove

allattachmentstothebuildingorstructure.

• EmploytheservicesofaProfessionalRiggerforhoisting,positioning,andattachingtheequipmenttothesupportingstructure.

• Correctuseofallsuspensionhardwareandcomponentsisimperativeinsoundsystemsuspensionanddeployment.

• Alwayscalculatesuspendedloadsbeforeliftingtomakesuresuspensioncomponentsandhardwareareusedwithintheirrespectiveloadlimits.

• Consultlocalcodesandregulationstofullyunderstandtherequirementsforsuspendedloadsinthevenueinwhichyouwillsuspend

theequipment.

• UseonlytheKLAAF12ArrayFrameortheM10installationpointsforsuspendingthearray.

• Beabsolutelycertainoftheintegrityofanystructuralmemberintendedtosupportsuspendedloads.Hiddenstructuralmemberscanhavehidden

structuralweakness.

• Neverassumeanything!Ownerorthird-partysuppliedsuspensionattachmentpointsmaynotbeadequateforsuspendingtheloads.

• Beforelifting,alwaysinspectallcomponents(enclosures,suspensionbrackets,pins,frames,bolts,nuts,slings,shackles,etc.)forcracks,wear,

deformation,corrosion,missing,loose,ordamagedpartsthatcouldreducethestrengthoftheassembly.Discardanyworn,defective,orsuspect

partsandreplacethemwithnewappropriatelyload-ratedparts.

Shock Loading

Whenaloadiseithermovedorstopped,itsstaticweightismagnied.Suddenmovementscanmagnifythestaticweightseveraltimes.This

magnicationofstaticweightiscalled"shockloading".Shockloadingposesadangertoequipmentandworkers.Theeffectsofshockloadingcanbe

instantaneous,ormayremainundetectedunlesstheequipmentisvisuallydamaged.Properpreparationforshockloadingrequirescarefulplanning

andknowledgeofequipment,suspension,andliftingpractices.

Shockloadingofequipmentandstructuresisusuallyconnedtoliftingandinstallation,butnaturalforces(winds,earthquakes,andsoon)canimpose

shockloadsseveraltimesthestaticload.Becauseofthis,structuresandsuspensionequipmentmustbecapableofsupportingseveraltimesthe
