KF730 FLY-BAR HINGE TUBE HOLES

DANGER: Each Hinge Tube on the Fly-Bar has two Quick Release Pin holes. When suspending KF730 or SB730s from the Fly-Bar, always use the upper hole for attaching the enclosure Hinges. The lower hole is not load-rated and is to be used ONLY for attaching ground-stacked enclosures when using the Fly-Bar inverted as the base of the stack. Failure to follow this warning may result in damage to the equipment damage, injury, or death.

UPPER HOLES: USE THESE HOLES

FOR SUSPENSION

WARNING: USE LOWER HOLES

ONLY FOR GROUND STACKING

6.4.5Locking Pins

WARNING: Due to center of gravity issues with a suspended curved array, any open splays between enclosures may close up unexpectedly either during array assembly or disassembly. To prevent this occurrence and possible injury that may result, always use locking pins in the rear Hinges and Hinge Tubes on each enclosure. When ground stacking, creating splays between enclosures REQUIRES the use of locking pins to create rear splays.

Each KF730 is supplied with six 1.5 in Quick Release Pins. Two of these Pins are intended for use as locking pins. Certain array configurations and array tilts can cause the collapse of any open splays between KF730 enclosures. This is more likely to occur the more the array is curved relative to its length. Locking pins can prevent the occurrence of splay collapse.

Locking pins are inserted in the Hinge Tubes through the hole in the part of the Hinge that is captive to that Hinge Tube and below the Hinge knuckle. This prevents the Hinge from receding into its own Hinge Tube, which is what happens when the splay between two enclosures collapses.
