4. Rigging Inspection and Precautions
Electro-Voice XLVC Loudspeaker Systems:
Prior to each use, inspect the loudspeaker enclosures for any cracks, deformations, missing or damaged components that could reduce enclosure strength. Inspect the rigging tube and channel assemblies on the enclosures for any cracks, deformations, corrosion, missing or loose screws which could reduce the flying hardware strength. Replace any loudspeaker systems that are damaged or missing hardware. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load for the XLVC systems.
Electro-Voice XLVC Front Rigging Hinge Bar Assemblies: Prior to each use, inspect the front rigging hinge bars and the front rigging tubes for any cracks, burrs, deformations, corrosion or missing or damaged components that could reduce hinge bar assembly strength. Always check to make sure that the hinge bar can move freely in the front rigging tube. Replace any hinge bars that are damaged or missing hardware. Always double check that each quick-release pin on each hinge bar is securely locked into position in the front rigging tubes on the XLVC enclosures and grids before lifting. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load for the XLVC rigging hardware.
Electro-Voice XLVC Rear Swing Arm Assemblies: Prior to each use, inspect the rear rigging swing arms, the rear rigging channels and rear rigging holes for any cracks, burrs, deformations, corrosion or missing or damaged components that could reduce swing arm assembly strength. Always check to make sure that the swing arm bar can move freely in the rear rigging slots and that the quick-release locking pins can be easily inserted in the swing arm holes and rigging holes to lock the arm. Replace any swing arms that are damaged or missing hardware. Always double check that each swing arm is securely locked in the rear rigging holes with a quick-release pin. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load for the XLVC rigging hardware.
Electro-VoiceQuick-Release Pins: Prior to each use, inspect the quick-release pins on the rigging frame assemblies any for cracks, burrs, deformations, corrosion or missing or damaged components that could reduce the pin strength. Replace any quick-release pins that are damaged. Always double check that each quick-release pin is securely locked to the front hinge bar and rear swing arm assemblies on the XLVC enclosures before lifting. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load for the XLVC rigging hardware.
Grid Assemblies: Prior to each use, inspect each grid assembly any for cracks, burrs, deformations, corrosion or missing or damaged components that could reduce the grid assembly strength. Replace any grids that are damaged or missing hardware. Always double check that each grid is securely locked to the front hinge bar assemblies and the rear swing arm assemblies on the XLVC enclosures before lifting. Always double check that each quick-release pin attaching the sidearms to the spreader bar(s) are securely locked into place. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load for the grids.
