Safety First!
Before installing and using this product, please read these
instructions carefully and keep them on hand for future reference.
Additionally, refer to the DRM18S and DRM12A product manuals
and FB100 Flybar installation instructions for detailed product-specific
information, including complete post-rigging kit usage instructions.
Failure to follow the precautions in these documents may result in injury
or damage to the DRM18S, DRM12A and/or contents of the rigging kit.
It could also lead to injury – or even death! – to you.
WARNING: This product has been designed for installation only
by qualified and licensed personnel having the technical know-how
and experience of the operations involved to prevent any risk to personal
safety. When installing this product, always respect the safety standard.
Do not install the product in any way that is not described in these
instructions.
WARNING: The DRM18S rigging kit has been tested to a Working Load
Limit (WLL) of 452 lb / 205 kg with a design factor of 10:1. This rigging kit
may hold up to two DRM18S subwoofers [102 lb / 46.3 kg each] and four
DRM12A loudspeakers [62 lb / 28.1 kg each] in succession. Never apply
a load that exceeds the Working Load Limit.
Before suspending the loudspeaker(s), make all of the necessary
calculations to ensure that all of the components are used within
their nominal work load range. Remember that the weakest component
determines the safety level of the entire installation.
Flyware Kit Installation
1. Using the #2 Phillips screwdriver, place the threaded part of the screws
(A) through the rubber feet (B) and into the pilot holes on the bottom
of the DRM18S. Do not over-tighten the screws.
2. Using the 6mm Hex driver, remove the two screws on each side
of the DRM18S. Store these four screws in a safe place, as they
will be necessary should the rigging kit no longer be needed.

Disclaimer:
LOUD Audio, LLC continually engages in research related to product improvement. New material,
production methods, and design refinements are introduced into existing products without notice
as a routine expression of that philosophy. For this reason, any current LOUD Audio, LLC product
may dier in some respect from its published description, but will always equal or exceed the original

3. Align the pin side of the fly bar on the bottom of the DRM18S, with
the handle side of the pin [Figure 1] towards the rear of the loudspeaker.
4. Apply Loctite 222 to the screws (C), insert each screw
through the fly bar (D) into the two threaded inserts on each
side of the DRM18S, and securely tighten.
Very important: The bottom screw should be secure, but the locking pin
should have the ability to be inserted through the holes in the tubing.
With the pin inserted, tighten to the point JUST BEFORE pin movement
is restricted. Do not over-tighten the screws, as this could damage
the threaded inserts of the DRM18S subwoofer.
5. Using the 6mm Hex driver, remove the two screws on the rear of the
DRM18S. Store these screws in a safe place, as they will be necessary
should the rigging kit no longer be needed.

tighten.
