Inspection & Maintenance

Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, they require regular inspection and rou- tine maintenance to insure proper function ability. JBL SRX700F loudspeakers must be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of all corners and load bearing surfaces for signs of cracking, water damage, de-lamination, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the loudspeaker enclosure. Accessory rigging hardware provided with or for the JBL SRX700F loudspeakers must be inspected for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of the material for signs of corrosion, bending or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the fastener. Additionally, any eyebolts shall be checked for possible spin-out of the enclosure. For all other hardware and fittings, refer to the hardware manufac- turer's inspection and maintenance guidelines for process.

Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in flying speaker systems should inspect all rigging parts and components.

The JBL SRX700 suspendable version loudspeakers are supplied with built-in internal brackets. The system is designed to facilitate the suspension of the loudspeaker by a qualified person familiar with rigging hardware and industry practices. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death.
