WARNING
Only qualified personnel who are familiar with rigging systems should set up the rigging, add weights to the Arbor, or fly the Ceiling Panels.
!
WARNING
Make sure that all rigging and rigging hardware is capable of lifting the Ceiling Panel component calculated weight plus a reasonable margin of safety.
Always comply with local codes and regulations.
!
WARNING
Make sure that all fasteners are tight before adding any weight to the Arbor.
!
WARNING
Never Climb on the Ceiling
Panels.
1. Clean all debris from the Ceiling Panels and remove any tools resting on the Ceiling Panels.
2. Get the weight of the Ceiling Assembly and the Arbor weight calculation from the Installation
Drawings.
3. Start adding the weights to the Arbor.
a. Three or more persons should work together, one person adding weights and one person tending to the line to see if the Ceiling Assembly can be lifted from the floor.
b. Check the Ceiling Assembly counter balance early and often
(after adding each increment of one hundred pounds).
4. Using the rigging system, lift the Ceiling Panels from the stage surface and apply about 100-pounds of tension to each Lead-set cable
(to set each cable).
5. Keeping the Ceiling Assembly horizontal, lift it
