6.7SUSPENSION PROCEDURES

The basic procedure for suspending KF730s and SB730s or a combination of both is similar. What varies is how different pallets affect handling of the enclosures when being suspended. In all cases, it is recommended that KF730 enclosures be attached to an array one at a time. The SB730 enclosures may be attached two at a time.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Always suspend all SB730s over the KF730s.

In all cases, reverse each procedure for unrigging the array.

DANGER: Ensure each Quick Release Pin used in assembling an array is fully inserted and engaged. Use only the 1.5 inch Quick Release Pins supplied or equal. Quick Release Pins of different lengths or diameter will compromise the structural integrity of the enclosure and Fly-Bar rigging system and may result in damage to the equipment, injury, or death.

CAUTION: When attaching Hinges to Hinge Tubes, use the correct holes as determined by the KF730 Wizard or by the user-desired angles to achieve the desired splay angle. Failure to follow this instruction can result in poor acoustical performance.

CAUTION: To help prevent personal injury, clear all pallets as soon as they are empty from the immediate work area.

6.7.1KF730s On KF730 Pallet

1.Move a KF730 Pallet to the rigging location.

2.Lift a KF730 enclosure off the pallet and lay it down, positioned so its hinges are on top and it is directly below the rigging point. The KF730 may be laid on the floor or on a standard road case lid at a comfortable working height.

6.7.2SB730s on SB730 Pallet

1.Move an SB730 Pallet to the rigging location.

6.7.3Attaching a KF730 or SB730 to the Fly-Bar

1.Lift the Fly-Bar onto the top of the KF730 or SB730. Orient the Fly-Bar with its corner Hinge Tubes to the front of the loudspeakers.

2.Remove the four (SB730) or six (KF730) Quick Release Pins from the top of the enclosure’s Hinge Tubes.

3.Slide the enclosure‘s four Hinges up into the four Hinge Tubes on the Fly-Bar. For a KF730, align hole 2 of the front Hinges and hole 3 of the rear Hinges with the upper hole in each Fly-Bar Hinge Tube. For an SB730, align hole 1 of each Hinge with the upper hole in each Fly-Bar Hinge Tube. The result will be the top of the enclosure being parallel to the plane of the Fly-Bar when suspended.

4.Attach the Hinges to the Hinge Tubes by inserting four of the Quick Release Pins. (removed in Step 2) through both. Use ONLY the upper hole in the Fly-Bar Hinge Tubes.

5.For a KF730, insert the remaining two Pins (removed in step 2) into the enclosure’s rear Hinge Tubes as locking pins. See “Locking Pins” Section 6.4.5.

6.Attach the chain motors or other lifting device to the Fly-Bar, using one of the methods detailed under “Fly-Bar Rigging Recommendations” Section 6.3.

7.Lift the array to the working height needed for the next applicable procedure in the following sections.
