3 Safety Instructions
WARNING
Risks imposed by falling or overturning parts
•Be sure to install, suspend, fasten, and use Kling & Freitag speaker accessories only using
the designated fixtures as specified in this document.
•Install the item only in a place that poses no risks in operation, for example, by people
climbing on the speaker, attaching additional items to the suspension, or placing objects
on the speaker.
•Make sure no wind loads or equivalent horizontal loads act upon the speaker and the
accessories.
•Not suitable for outdoor use.
•Not designed for use in corrosive environments.
•When mounting on a wall, ensure plumb vertical installation.
•Be sure to use only the screws supplied with the speaker for mounting accessories. The
screws are specifically designed for accessory mounting. Be sure to use self-locking screws
no more than five times. Using them more often may result in screws loosening in opera-
tion. If in doubt, use new screws. Never use other types of screws.
•During installation, be sure to cordon off the installation site to prevent any risks caused
by falling parts.
•Be sure to only use original parts supplied. Never use other parts (in particular, parts not
made by KLING & FREITAG).
•Make sure all fittings used are suitable for the task at hand and meet all relevant safety
requirements.
•Ensure that all connections are secured against coming loose and that only authorized,
statically tested and correctly sized supports, mounting equipment, wire ropes and chains
are used.
•Be sure to always visually inspect all safety-related speaker and accessory components be-
fore use. If there are signs of wear, cracks, or deformation, etc., replace the affected parts
immediately. Visual inspection also includes checking all screwed connections of support-
ing components.
•The information described here does not relieve the user of the duty to follow the given
safety requirements and legal regulations.

5 Maintenance
•Perform a visual inspection before each installation.
•Visually inspect the entire setup every six months.
•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.
•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. This inspection log book shall be updated with the
inspection steps, test intervals and parts lists.
•If necessary, use multifunction oil for care.
6 Transportation and Storage
This product is protected against the effects of temporary humidity and moisture, etc. Never-
theless, be sure to store, transport, and use it in dry
Make sure that the system is adequately ventilated during longer storage periods so any resid-
ual 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.
7Disposal
Dispose of this product according to local ordinance regulations.
WARNING
Risks imposed by undetected damages
•The inspection must be carried out by a qualified expert.
•If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or defects
are found, don’t use the speaker any longer. Contact your retailer.
•Be sure to use self-locking screws no more than five times. Using them more often may
result in screws loosening in operation. If in doubt, use new screws. Never use other types
of screws.
