TA-880

Flying a single TA-880 trapezoidal cabinet using FC-880 chains

A single cabinet can be flown using a pair of FC-880S short chains and daggers. These simply pass through slots in the top of the cabinet and are secured with safety linch-pins inside the handle boxes. Connect FC-880S short flying chains to the appropriate suspension tabs on the flybar and check that the daggers line up with the slots. In the diagrams below only one dagger is shown for clarity.

1.Insert a dagger through the slot machined in the top of the cabinet and into the handle box as illustrated in the cutaway drawing above. The tip of the dagger located in the sword box will be visible through the handle hole. Repeat with the second flying chain and dagger.

2.Insert a SL-880 safety linch-pinthrough the small hole in the dagger from the outside of the box, and secure it by snapping the safety linch-pin so that it loops around the back of the dagger. Repeat with the second linch-pin and dagger.

3.When the cabinet is lifted the dagger is held in place by the safety linch-pin, while the slot allows the cabinet to be freely tilted.
