6.5PALLETS

6.5.1KF730 Face Pallet

The KF730 Face Pallet is a wheeled pallet that holds two KF730s face down. Routing on the underside of the pallet allows stacking loaded pallets two high. Except for the first enclosure attached to the Fly-Bar, the enclosures remain on the pallet when attaching them to an array. The lip around the outside edge helps prevent the enclosures from sliding off the pallet. The pallets outside dimensions of 30 in x 22.5 in are a standard road case size that fits on small truck ramps and simplifies truck packing by integrating easily with standard road cases.

6.5.2SB730 Pallet

The SB730 Pallet is a wheeled pallet that holds two stacked SB730s. Normally the enclosures stay on the pallet when attaching them to the Fly-Bar or other SB730s for suspension. The lip around the outside edge helps prevent the enclosures from sliding off the pallet. The pallet’s outside dimensions of 30 in x 22.5 in are a standard road case size that fits on small truck ramps and simplifies truck packing by integrating easily with standard road cases.

6.6INITIAL RIGGING PREPARATION

Proper preparation of the KF730s, SB730s, and the KF730 Fly-Bar will make it easier to assemble, disassemble, and transport suspended or ground-stacked KF730s and SB730s. This preparation should be followed as standard procedure for all future uses. It results in everything being ready for transport or for assembling an array.

6.6.1Fly-Bar

There is no special preparation for the KF730 Fly-Bar.

6.6.2KF730

Install three of the supplied Quick Release Pins in each of the two rear Hinge Tubes with their handle ends inwards. Always insert one in the top hole of each Hinge Tube passing through the top hole of its Hinge. This will lock each hinge in its retracted position. The Quick Release Pins should always be re-installed in these locations as the loudspeakers are un-rigged. The purpose for this is that, when rigging, the Quick Release Pins are available where needed to attach another enclosure.

6.6.3KF730 Face Pallet

To place two KF730s on their Pallet, lift each enclosure with its top side towards you and the front facing the floor. Place it face down on the pallet so the enclosure's top is towards the outside of the pallet. Ensure the front hinges are fully retracted so the enclosure front rests flat on the pallet platform. When the Pallet is loaded correctly, the bottom sides of the two enclosures should be facing each other.

6.6.4SB730

Install the four supplied Quick Release Pins with their handle ends inwards in the top hole of each of the four Hinge Tubes passing through the top hole of its Hinge. This will lock each hinge in its retracted position. The Quick Release Pins should always be re-installed in these locations as the loudspeakers are un-rigged. The purpose for this is that, when rigging, the Quick Release Pins are available where needed to attach another enclosure.

6.6.5SB730 Pallet

Place one SB730 or a stack two SB730 enclosures on the pallet oriented right side up. If placing two SB730s on a Pallet, lock the enclosures together by sliding the Hinges from the lower enclosure up into the Hinge Tubes of the upper enclosures. Attach each Hinge to the upper enclosure’s Hinge Tube using the Quick Release Pin from the lower enclosure.
