1. INTRODUCTION

The intended use of the ADMIRAL Qwiqr is used to a hang load from a supporting struc­ture. It is mostly used in temporary set ups in the entertainment market but can also be
used for permanent set ups in places of entertainment like museums, event venues,
theatres etc..

Clamps or couplers used to connect the Qwiqr to the supporting structure are not
included. The user must use clamps with a minimum WLL (working load limit) of 100kg,
and a minimum safety factor of 8:1 as required for overhead liing.

The Qwiqr is stamped with the redundant working load safety factor to meet the German
standard for loads above persons DGUV17/18 (formerly known as BGVc1)

ADMIRAL has endeavoured to deliver the highest degree of accuracy possible. However
