Prior to suspending any EAW loudspeaker enclosures, it is essential that the user be familiar with the load ratings, rigging techniques, and special safety considerations appropriate for this use. Use only the mounting/rigging points on the loudspeaker enclosure intended for this purpose. The user must determine the load requirements, dynamic loading and any other contributing factors affecting the flown loudspeakers. The user must determine the proper safety factor for specific applications and the required load rating of the connection to structure. EAW strongly recommends that all rigging be done by qualified personnel in accordance with and in compliance with all federal, state and local regulations, relative to properly securing suspended loads.

NOTICE: The user assumes liability for proper design, installation and use of rigging systems.

EAW strongly recommends the following rigging system practices:

1.Documentation: Thoroughly document the rigging design with detailed drawings and parts lists.

2.Analysis: Have a licensed structural engineer, registered architect or other qualified professional review and approve the rigging design before its implementation.

3.Installation: Have a qualified professional rigger install and inspect the rigging system.

DANGER: Loudspeakers should be suspended only by persons with a knowledge of proper hardware and rigging techniques. When stacking or pole-mounting loudspeakers, be sure they are stabilized and secured from falling over or being accidentally pushed over. Failure to follow these precautions may result in damage to the equipment, personal injury or death.

You should have visually inspected the outside of the shipping carton and noted any damage on the shipping bill you signed. After unpacking, if you find concealed damage to the loudspeaker, save the packing materials for the carrier’s inspection, notify the carrier immediately and file a shipping damage claim. Although EAW will help in any way possible, it is always the responsibility of the receiving party to file any shipping damage claim. The carrier will help prepare and file this claim.
