DO NOT lift or load above people without the following
precautions:
• A SHARK must be taken out of services immediately if,
during use, repair or maintenance damages are
discovered.
• Remove people from the area during installation.
• Use solely instructed and/or trained personel.
• Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
such as hard hats and gloves during installation.
• Make sure there is adequate amount of working light
during installation of the product.
3. SCOPE
The intended use of the SHARK is to create a temporary hanging
point for loads of maximum 200kg installed above people from
appropiate keder proles within the entertainment industry.
Temporary is in general a period no longer than 90 days.
CAUTION

WARNING
The allowable load from the SHARK strongly depends
on the types of keder beams used for the supporting
structure. A load that is too heavy can cause the
structure to fail.
CAUTION
Do not throw the SHARK, as it might damage the product.
WARNING
1. INTRODUCTION
The ADMIRAL SHARK clamp is intended to hang loads from
keder type tent beams.
In this manual ELL stands for Entertainment Load Limit. M
eaning the device has a inherent double safety factor (8:1) and is
therefore suitable to suspend loads above persons.
The SHARK is also designed to meet the German regulation for
loads above persons DGUV17/18 (formerly known as BGVc1).
ADMIRAL has endeavoured to deliver the highest degree of
accuracy possible. However continuous improvement of our
products is ADMIRAL policy. Therefore product specications
are subject to change without notice.
Readers and users are encouraged to notify ADMIRAL of errors
and send in suggestions for improvements. All communications
will be carefully considered for future printings of this manual
and changes to our products.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This user manual must be read and understood prior to assembly, setup and servicing. All people using and servicing the
SHARK must familiarise themselves with the safety
instructions and user guidelines written in this manual.
This manual needs to be accessible for all users at all times.
Loads can be truss, sound systems, set pieces or hoists.
Any other way of use is considered to be a case of misuse.
Solely the user is liable for any damage or injury resulting from
such cases.
WARNING
Check local legislation for the application of use.
4. LIMITATIONS OF USE
WARNING
Exceeding the limitations of use can severely endanger
the audience and users.
WARNING
Dynamic factor of lifting must be considered separately.
• The SHARK can be used on keder beams with a width between
40 mm and 125 mm.
• The SHARK 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 suspend
• Sound systems can be suspended but users must check
regular the integrity of the clamp as severe vibrations could
loosen bolts / knobs .
• The SHARK 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 SHARK
shall be taken out of service.
Do not suspend the SHARK as shown below. It creates
torsional forces and influences the stability of the
supporting structure.
WARNING
Installation is permitted only on a load-bearing keder
type beam and with an inclination of max 18dgr as
per g: 01. If necessary, the load capacity of
the keder beam is to be acquired from the
manufacturer and/or operator.
