3. Safety Instructions

3.1 General Safety Instructions

The information described here does not relieve the user of the duty to follow the given safety

requirements and legal regulations.

The technicians responsible for installing the system on site are responsible for and guarantee

safe setup and use.

To prevent injury and damage, be sure to securely place the speaker system as specified in the

DGUV regulations 17 (BGV C1) or similar locally applicable accident-control standards.

Unless otherwise stated, use only KLING & FREITAG original parts for mounting the speakers.

Never use other parts (in particular, parts not made by KLING & FREITAG).

Be sure to always visually inspect all accessories and loudspeakers before use. In fixed installa-

tions, regularly check all system components for signs of wear. Visual inspection includes check-

ing the system components of the speakers as well as the mounting components. During the

inspection, check all mounting components carefully for deformations, cracks, bolt damage,

and corrosion. If there are signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, etc., replace the affected parts

immediately. See also the ‘Care and

Warning

3.2 Safety Instructions for Stacked Speakers

Tipping speakers impose a deadly risk for people standing near-by!

Be sure to follow the relevant national specifications, norms, and safety regulations.

Always make sure that the speakers are sufficiently secured, so they cannot fall over even when

external forces affect the speaker stack. Before installation, carefully check whether there are

any external factors that may cause the stack to fall over. These include, for example, the

ground slope or bearing capacity, winds, and impacts of persons or vehicles. Qualified and ap-

propriately trained installation personnel are in charge of evaluating the scenario and perform-

ing all required steps (including statics analysis). Proof of stability must be obtained if and as

necessary.

Stacked systems must not fall over even if they are inclined by 15° in any direction. If this re-

quirement is not fulfilled, be sure to take appropriate steps. E.g. lashing the

Where the stability of installed systems cannot be proven without additional safety measures,

those systems must be effectively secured against sliding and tipping to achieve compliance. For

example, secure the system against tipping using water tanks or floor bolts. Other possible

measures include lashing the speakers onto a suitable base or fastening them using straps.

With applications where winds may occur, for example, outdoor events, tradeshows, etc., be

sure to perform extra stability checks.

Make sure that the feet of stacked subwoofers engage with the corresponding hollows of the

lower speaker.

This product is protected against the effects of temporary humidity and moisture, etc. Nevertheless, be

sure to store, transport, and use it in dry

Make sure that the system is adequately ventilated during longer storage periods so any residual moisture

can escape from the equipment.

In addition, make sure that the prpduct is protected from mechanical strains in order to prevent damage.

To protect the speaker from the above impacts, we recommend using suitable transport and storage

equipment.

Dispose of this product according to local ordinance regulations.

Ensure that the product cannot be re-used or used otherwise after disposal.

6. Care and Maintenance

1. For the owner and user, it is mandatory to be aware that speaker accessories used to fly or mount the

speakers are fundamentally safety-relevant.

Over time, the accessories may exhibit signs of wear, for example, from mechanical strain, transport dam-

age, corrosion, or improper handling.

As a basic principle, you must visually inspect the speaker accessory before and after you use it. For fixed

installations, you must inspect it for signs of wear at regular intervals.

When performing those checks, particularly look for deformations, cracks, dents, damage to threads, and

corrosion. Also check slings and lifts (e.g. shackles, chains, and steel ropes) carefully for wear and defor-

mation.

If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or if specific faults are

found, stop using the accessories and send in the product to

Inspection regulations may vary depending on application and country of use. Observe all applicable reg-

ulations; If in doubt, contact local authorities.

Many countries require regular inspection of mounting components and accessories. An additional annu-

al inspection is typically required to be performed by a technical expert. Moreover, a legally certified or

official authority must perform a detailed inspection every four years.

Therefore, be sure to maintain an inspection log. Enter the values determined for each speaker and ac-

cessory during the periodic checks into this log. This way, relevant data are always at hand in case of in-

spection. This inspection log book shall be updated with the inspection steps, test intervals and parts lists.

2. Clean this speaker accessory regularly using a corrosion-prevention penetrating oil (for example, WD-40).
