Care and Maintenance

  • For the owner and user, it is mandatory to be aware that speaker accessories used to fly or mount the speakers are fundamentally safety-relevant.
  • Note that the mains cables are delivered with varying connector options or with open wires (mains side), depending on the country or order number.
  • The accessory Pin-Joint Adapter PASSIO can exhibit signs of wear over the years, i.e. from mechanical strain, transport damage, corrosion, or improper handling.
  • As a basic principle, you must visually inspect the speaker accessory before and after you use it. For fixed installations, you must inspect it for signs of wear at regular intervals.
  • When performing those checks, particularly look for deformations, cracks, dents, damage to threads, and corrosion. Also check slings and lifts (e.g. shackles, chains, and steel ropes) carefully for wear and deformation.
  • If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or if specific faults are found, stop using the accessories and send in the product to KLING & FREITAG GMBH for inspection and repairs, if necessary.
  • Inspection regulations may vary depending on application and country of use. Observe all applicable regulations; when in doubt, contact the local authorities.
  • Many countries require regular inspection of mounting components and accessories. An additional annual inspection is typically required to be performed by a technical expert.
  • Moreover, a legally certified or official authority must perform a detailed inspection every four years.
  • Therefore, be sure to maintain an inspection log. Enter the values determined for each speaker and accessory during the periodic checks into this log. This way, relevant data are always at hand in case of inspection. The log should also document maintenance measures and inspection intervals and contain parts lists.
  • Clean this speaker accessory regularly using a corrosion-prevention penetrating oil (for example, WD-40®).

Transportation and Storage

  • The speaker accessory Pin-Joint Adapter PASSIO is protected against short term moisture.
  • Store, transport, and use the accessories in dry environments only. This speaker accessory is not designed for long-term use in a corrosive environment.
  • Make sure that the system is adequately ventilated during longer storage periods so any residual moisture can escape from the equipment.
  • Furthermore, you have to ensure that the accessory Pin-Joint Adapter PASSIO is protected from mechanical strain to prevent possible damage.

Disposal

  • Dispose of this product in compliance with your national regulations.
  • Ensure that after being disposed of that this product cannot be used again or in any other way.
