Each Figure 13 includes a graph of the working-load weight-versus-anglelimit rating for the XLVC enclosures. This working-loadweight limit is applicable to every enclosure in an array, and in- cludes the weight of that enclosure plus the total weight of all enclosures, rigging hardware and cabling suspended below it. The enclosure elevation angle is the vertical angle of that enclosure, where 0 represents an upright enclosure facing straight ahead 0 elevation angle. These work- ing-Ioad-versus-anglelimits take into account the complex forces generated in the front hinge bars, the rear swing arms, the quick-releasepins, the rigging tubes and channels, the enclosures and the optional pull-upline, as a result of the complex weight distribution throughout the array

4. Rigging Inspection and Precautions
Coupler Beam CBeam Assemblies Prior to each use, inspect the CBeam assemblies for any cracks, burrs, deformations, corrosion or missing or damaged components that could reduce the CBeam assembly strength. Replace any CBeam assemblies that are damaged or missing hardware. Always double check that each CBeam assembly is securely locked to the spreader bars on the grids below. Never exceed the limitations or maximum recommended load for the CBeam assemblies
