Attaching WL218-sw Loudspeaker to WL218-sw Loud- speaker

1- With the enclosures on dolly boards and facing downward, posi- tion two enclosures adjacent one another such that the front receiver tubes are aligned.

2- Unpin and extend the articulated joints from the lower enclosure. Align and insert the articulated joint into the upper enclosure’s receiver tube. Pin each articulated joint in place using two ball lock pins, one at each end inserted fully and locked in position. Ensure all four (4) pins are used and locked securely into place. Replace any faulty or questionable ball lock pin immediately.

Failure to follow these recommendations may result in dangerous

conditions, injury, or death!

3- If suspending the array, DO NOT PIN THE REAR LINK ASSEMBLY AT THIS TIME. The rear links should be pinned with their respective ball lock pins as the array is hoisted.

Attaching Frame Feet to AF218-sw Array Frame (0ptional)

With the frame lying flat, attach the frame feet by inserting the button head screw through the corresponding mounting hole and lock nut. Tighten fully.

NOTE! Frame feet are for support during installation only. Frame is unstable when vertically oriented on frame feet. Do not drop frame on to frame feet when loading and unloading. Do not leave unattended under any conditions.

Attaching WL218-sw Loudspeaker to AF218-sw Array Frame

1- The enclosures to be suspended should be pinned together at the FRONT left and right receiver tubes as outlined above.

2- Unpin and extend the top enclosure’s articulated joints and pin into place.

3- The AF218-sw array frame should be positioned so that the top enclosure’s articulated joints can be inserted into the AF218-sw and pinned into place. Position the AF218-sw and pin the top enclosure’s articulated joints into to AF-218-sw’s receiver tubes.

4- Position the AF218-sw array frame so its rear link may be pinned into the top enclosure’s receiver block at the desired location. Pin the link into the top enclosure ensuring the pin is fully inserted and locked in place.

NOTE! The marked splay angle location where the AF218- sw’s link is pinned is the splay angle between the frame and the top enclosure (AF218-sw link has 0° offset).

Front Articulated Joint-

1- Remove the ball lock pin.

2- Slide the articulated joint out of the receiver tube by lifting its retaining screw upward.

3- Lock in place using the ball lock pin.
