74 kph / 38.5 to 46 mph) and secure the system components!
Make sure that there are no persons in the immediate vicinity of the system structure!

General safety instructions for setting up on a tripod:
For every system setup on a tripod, use a tripod that is designed according to the total weight.
When setting up a system on uneven surfaces, such as gravel or grass, always put a pressu-
re-resistant surface under all four spindle feet! Make sure that all four spindle feet rest comple-
tely on the pressure-resistant shims and that the surface can withstand the total weight! Note
that depending on the system design, either the front or rear spindle feet may be able to carry
more weight!
Make sure that no one can trip over your system structures, or over individual components!
This is especially true for all pressure-resistant shims, tripod legs and guy ropes!
Any influences on your system setup, such as leaning against objects (or people) and flying
objects around, be refrained from!

5. Transport and storage
The original packaging is unsuitable as permanent storage and transport packaging.
When transporting and storing the unit, it is important to ensure that the surface of the swi-
vel bracket are not damaged. Moisture can penetrate where steel surfaces are exposed by
scratches and result in corrosion.
In addition, appreciable dust deposits may considerably impair the functionality of a loudspe-
aker membrane. For this reason, the loudspeakers should be transported and stored in a
safe, careful, dry and largely dust-free manner.
