LEGEND
1. INTRODUCTION
The ADMIRAL TRUSS TOPPER / FLOOR STAND can
be used to support loads when placed on the floor
or as a temporary hanging bracket. They are mostly
used in temporary set ups in the entertainment
industry but can be used for permanent set ups in
museums, event venues, theatres etc. as well.
In this manual ELL stands for Entertainment Load
Limit. Meaning the device has an inherent double
safety factor (8:1) and is therefore suitable to
suspend loads above persons.
The TRUSS TOPPER / FLOOR STAND is also designed
to meet the German regulation for loads above
persons DGUV17/18 (formerly known as BGVc1).
Clamps, couplers and safety cables used to
couple and secure the TRUSS TOPPER / FLOOR
STANDS to the supporting structure are not
included. The user must use certified clamps or
couplers with an ELL of at least 100 kg and with
minimum safety factor of 8:1 as required for
overhead liing.
ADMIRAL has endeavored to deliver the
highest degree of accuracy possible.
However continuous improvement of our products
is ADMIRAL policy. Therefore product specifications
are subject to change without notice.
Readers and users are encouraged to notify
ADMIRAL of errors and send in suggestions for
improvements. All communications will be carefully
considered for future printings of this manual and
changes to our products.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This user manual must be read and understood
prior to assembly, setup and servicing. All people
using and servicing the TRUSS TOPPER / FLOOR
STAND must familiarize themselves with the safety
instructions and user guidelines written in this

WARNING
If the TRUSS TOPPER / FLOOR STAND is
used to support loads above people it
might be needed to secure the load with
an additional safety cable. Make sure this
cable is attached with as less slack as
possible and has the correct load capacity.
In some countries the use of safety
cables is not required if the clamp and the
load attached to it can only be released by
use of tooling. In that case the bolt/nuts
must be fastened with a minimum torque
setting of 15Nm and the wingnut must be
removed in order to create the condition
to comply with this regulation (DGUV 215-
313).
