WARNING
Check local legislation for the application of use.

LIMITATIONS OF USE

• Exceeding the limitations of use can severely endanger the audience and users.
• Dynamic factor of lifting must be considered separately.
• The LOW HANGER TUBE can be operated from -20° up to 60° Celsius.
• Do not exceed the maximum ELL (entertainment load limit) stated on the product.
• Make sure the resulting forces on the supporting structure are approved by a competent person before applying the load.
• To determine the maximum suspended load on the product, all imposed loads shall be considered. e.g. the dynamic factor caused by the lifting machinery.
• Sound systems can be suspended but users must check regularly the integrity of the LOW HANGER TUBE as severe vibrations could loosen bolts/knobs .
• The LOW HANGER TUBE must be inspected by a competent person as often as required but with a minimum of 1 x per year. Records of these inspections must be kept.
• Inspect equipment before every use. A damaged LOW HANGER TUBE shall be taken out of service.
• Outdoor use shall be approved by a competent person and might influence the load capacity. Do not expose the product to full rain or snow. Outdoor use is the sole responsibility of the operator.
• In case of use in the vicinity of saltwater, the product shall be rinsed regularly with fresh water to avoid corrosion.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Inspect the LOW HANGER TUBE before use. Make sure all components are in place and in good order. If damaged, mark the item clearly and take out of service. See chapter 11 for further instructions!

Note
Use a M10 bolt (8.8 quality) for assembling the LOW HANGER TUBE on a structure or coupler. The length depends on the device (fixture, truss or pipe). Make sure the bolt is screwed at least 40 mm (A) into the LOW HANGER TUBE. The torque setting is approximately 15 Nm.

WARNING
Check the integrity of the LOW HANGER TUBE after severe vibrations caused by sound systems or if the supporting structure was subject to severe movement e.g. due to winds.

WARNING

• If the LOW HANGER TUBE is used to support loads above people it might be needed to secure the load with an additional safety cable. Make sure this cable is attached with as less slack as possible and has the correct load capacity.
• In some countries the use of safety cables is not required if the clamp and the load attached to it can only be released by use of tooling. In that case the bolt/nuts must be fastened with a minimum torque setting of 15Nm and the wingnut must be removed in order  o create the condition to comply with this regulation (DGUV 215- 313).
