A Diva Air Transporter is designed for use indoors in a normal working environment.
The intended operating temperature range is 7°C (45°F) to 35°C (95°F). It must only be used
on level ground, on a smooth solid floor with no ridges, holes or obstructions.

A power switch is provided to enable a Diva Air
Transporter to be disconnected from the main
electrical supply. When the power switch is
switched from the OFF position to the
ON position, the earth connection is made
before power connections are made.
When the power switch is switched from the
ON position to the OFF position, power
connections are broken before the earth
connection is broken. In the OFF position,
the electrical power supply is removed from
the entire machine. The electrical power supply
is provided by the use of a standard power cord.
The standard power cord must be routed where
there is no risk of personnel tripping and falling
because it has been routed in areas where personnel
are expected to walk. It is recommended that cables
should be routed away from such areas, run in
rubber ramps or the area cordoned off to keep people away.

The blower motor, electrical control box, and metalwork of the machine are bonded to earth (ground) to
prevent a build up of static electricity. This is necessary to ensure that there is no risk of an increase in
the voltage potential of the blower motor, electrical control box and metalwork of the machine as a result
of static electricity that might be generated.
The earth conductor in the incoming main power supply is connected to a protective earth terminal and
one cable taken from this terminal to an earth distribution connector block. Functional earth connections
to the blower motor, electrical control box, and metalwork of the machine, etc. are connected to the
earth distribution connector block.

A Diva Air Transporter is only intended for use inside buildings where there will be artificial lighting.
Ambient lighting must be sufficient for operators to see inside and around all parts of the machine.
There is no need to provide additional internal lighting under the hood. Maintenance personnel can
see all internal parts when access covers have been removed and there is no need to provide
additional internal lighting.
ocal ambient lighting should achieve a light intensity of 300 UX around the Air Transporter and in
the immediate vicinity of those parts of the machine where maintenance must be performed.
There are no exposed rotating parts on an Air Transporter that might put operators at risk if there are
stroboscopic effects due to lighting powered by a 50 or 60 Hz AC mains electrical supply. This is
because all rotating parts of an Air Transporter are behind plain metal panels or hoods.

The control device for raising and lowering the front caster is a finger grip. This is located just below
the handlebar in a readily accessible position. Operators stand behind the handlebar of the machine
where they are able to see all parts of the machine while it is being maneuvered. A second person is
needed to determine whether there are other personnel who might be in the path of the machine.
This makes it possible for operators to safely maneuver acoustic towers.
The power switch is foot-operated and located at low level. In this position it is easy to access and
operate. There is no need for adjustment, the power switch is accessible to persons of all heights.
The power switch is a positive action on/off switch that has immediate feedback of being engaged
or disengaged. The device only provides lift and does not provide locomotion. One person can lift all
heavy items that need to be lifted for maintenance with ease. The machine does not determine the
work rate because the operator is not required to position acoustic towers onto the machine at a rate
that is set by the machine.
Control devices are located in the vicinity of the handlebar at levels where tall and short operators have
ease of access and where they are in full view of the operator. The function of each control device and
what it achieves is marked alongside each control using characters that are typically 6 mm or more high.
There is only one set of controls and no risk of a second operator being able to control the machine
using a second set of controls in conflict with the first.

In normal operation, a Diva Air Transporter can be maneuvered manually with ease once the air cushion
has been inflated. There is little risk of fatigue by the operator. The force needed to push the assembly
is 13.6 Kg (30 lbs) and this is not excessive. Acoustic towers weigh up to 885 Kg (1950 lbs) and are
positioned manually, with minimal physical effort.
While maneuvering the machine, two people are required. One person is needed to push the Diva Air
Transporter while the second person is needed to ensure that the way is clear for an acoustic tower to
be moved forward. To assist operators, the acoustic towers are positioned simply by engaging lugs on
the Diva Air Transporter in the feet of an acoustic tower. This enables tall and short operators to position
the acoustic towers without the need to reach or stoop and is not stressful.
Provided acoustic towers of the correct type are presented to the machine, there should be no handling
problems. Operating instructions provide instruction on how to attach acoustic towers to a Diva Air
Transporter and how to check the security of acoustic towers so that they cannot come loose.
1. To move the Diva Air Transporter when it is not supporting an acoustical tower, tilt the front
of upward on the rear casters about 10 to 15-degrees. The front caster will drop downward
into place.

clear, slowly move (no faster than 50 cm per second) the acoustic tower to the performance
location. Be careful to not push the acoustic tower into any obstructions on the stage floor or above
the stage floor (such as ceiling panels, etc).
37* It is best to create permanent marks for the final performance locations

8. When the acoustic tower is in the final performance location, turn off the
air blower by pushing in the foot switch.

slightly forward.
9. Remove the Diva Air Transporter from the acoustic tower as follows.
a. When the air pads are deflated, pull the Diva Air Transporter away
from the acoustical tower until the lift hooks are clear of the
tower lift brackets.
b. Place a foot against the rear of the Diva Air Transporter and tilt
the front upward until the front caster locks into place (down position).

If there is a failure of the main electrical power supply, the Diva Air Transporter ceases to operate.
When the main electrical power supply has been restored, power is returned to the Diva Air Transporter
and the air cushions will inflate. The Diva Air Transporter only provides lift, and does not provide
locomotion. There is therefore, no risk of a Diva Air Transporter moving unexpectedly following failure
of the main electrical power supply.

Examples of abnormal uses to which a Diva Air Transporter should not be put. Wenger takes no
responsibility for the safety of machines if they are used for any purpose other than the intended
purpose as specified in these instructions.
● Crushing, impact or entrapment should an acoustic tower topple because an air mover is used to
transport shells or other panels besides those prescribed.
● Crushing, impact, or entrapment as a result of failing to connect acoustic towers to the machine
using a suitable means of attachment.
● Crushing, impact or entrapment should an air mover be used to lift and transport a heavy load other
than an acoustic tower and the machine fails structurally.
● Exposure to any hazards on the machine as a result of operating the machine under the influence of
drugs or alcohol or while wearing loose clothing.
● Exposure to flying or ejected objects caused by using poor quality replacement parts that have been
obtained from an unauthorized source.
