INSTALLATION
Rigging
DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5 m.
The device can be installed on the ground or on the wall or ceiling.
Hanging installation
The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for
1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and.or damage to property.
The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used.
The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Devices may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's weight.

DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5 m.
CAUTION!
Use 1 appropriate clamp to rig the fixture on the truss.
Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.
The device can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics.
Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp. Use a clamp with M10 or M12 screws
- check the mounting holes on the sides of the device.
In order to lock the device in any desired position, you need an additional circlip for installation. Screw the clamp via a M10 or M12 screw, a circlip and a nut onto the mounting hole.
For overhead use (mounting height >100 cm), always install an appropriate safety bond.
You must only use safety bonds and quick links complying with DIN 56927, shackles complying with DIN EN
1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety bonds, quick links, shackles and the carbines must be sufficiently dimensioned and used correctly in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations (e. g. BGV C1,
BGI 810-3).
Please note: for overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current safety instructions and consider them.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient safety precautions!
Install the safety bond by inserting the quick link in the safety bond hole. Pull the safety bond over the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the fixation screw.
The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
A safety bond which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!
