General Safety
The operation of your product as part of a suspended system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and
even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualied and certied (by local, state or national
authorities) personnel prior to any installation.
Installation and setup should only be carried out by qualied and authorised personnel observing the valid local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your
country. If any parts or components are missing please contact your dealer before attempting to set up the system.
It is the responsibility of the person installing the assembly to ensure that the suspension/xing points are suitable for the intended use.
We also recommend you schedule Turbosound training with our sales partners and applications team.
Equipment used to connect to the Turbosound rigging system must be properly rated and must conform to the local, state and other safety regulations. Do not
use Turbosound rigging with other types or brands of loudspeakers. This practice may compromise safety standards and Music Tribe Global Brands Ltd will not be
responsible for damage or injury so caused. Do not modify the accessories, or use them in a way other than that described in this QSG. Rigging components supplied as
part of a complete assembly are non-interchangeable and must not be exchanged with the component parts of any other assembly.
Welding, or any other means of permanently xing rigging components to each other or to cabinet xing points is not allowed. Rigging components or assemblies
must only be xed to Turbosound loudspeaker cabinets using the cabinet xing points.
Music Tribe Global Brands Ltd assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular
checks must be conducted by qualied personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the product is suspended,
the area underneath the product is free of human trac. Do not suspend the product in areas which can be entered or used by members of the public.
Always refer to EASE FOCUS modeling software error and warning indications prior to installation.
Secondary Safeties
All loudspeakers own in theatres, studios or other places of work and entertainment shall, in addition to the principle load bearing means of suspension, be provided
with an independent, properly rated, and securely attached secondary safety. Only steel wire ropes or steel chains of an approved construction and load rating shall be
used as secondary safeties. Plastic-covered steel wire ropes are not permitted for use as secondary safeties.
The secondary safety suspension must be independent of the primary suspension points and capable of carrying the total system weight. The additional safety device
must be mounted in a way that the loudspeaker is caught by the safety device without any drop and swing, in the event that the primary suspension fails.
Operational Safety
The procedures require the use of two or more authorised persons.
Produce a lift plan: before any lift takes place, you must formulate a lift plan that describes the exact steps and procedures that will be carried out.
The plan must be shared with all assistants and stake-holders in the lift so that each person will understand their responsibilities.
Observe all instructions given on the respective instruction labels of the rigging components and loudspeakers.
When using chain hoists, make sure nobody is directly underneath or in the vicinity of the loudspeakers.
During assembly pay attention to the possible risk of crushing.
Wear suitable protective clothing.
