Warning
Suspended loads pose a safety risk.

personal protective equipment at all times.
The technicians installing the speaker on site are responsible for and guarantee safe setup

chain hoists) must comply with the DGUV regulations 17 and 18 or similar locally applicable
accident-control standards. The maximum load must have been certified by an authorized
expert.

requirements.
Ensure that all connections are secured against coming loose and that only authorized,

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

8. Care and Maintenance
1.
Warning
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.
Note that the mains cables are delivered with varying connector options or with open
wires (mains side), depending on the country or order number.
The accessory can exhibit signs of wear over the years, i.e. from mechanical strain,
transport damage, 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 deformation.
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 KLING &
FREITAG GMBH for inspection and repairs, if necessary.
Inspection regulations may vary depending on application and country of use. Observe
all applicable regulations; when in doubt, contact the local authorities.
Many countries require regular inspection of mounting components and accessories. An
additional annual 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 accessory during the periodic checks into this log. This way, relevant data
are always at hand in case of inspection. The log should also document maintenance
measures and inspection intervals and contain parts lists.
2. Clean this speaker accessory regularly using a corrosion-prevention penetrating oil (for
example, WD-40®).
9. Transportation and Storage
The speaker accessory Adjustable Speaker Mount PASSIO is protected against short term
moisture. Store, transport, and use the accessories in dry environments only. This speaker
accessory is not designed for long-term use in a corrosive environment.
Make sure that the system is adequately ventilated during longer storage periods so any
residual moisture can escape from the equipment.
Furthermore, you have to ensure that the accessory Adjustable Speaker Mount PASSIO is
protected from mechanical strain to prevent possible damage.
10. Disposal
Dispose of this product in compliance with your national regulations.
Ensure that after being disposed of that this product cannot be used again or in any other
way.
