3. Safety precautions

General safety

Always carry out a visual and functional inspection of the bracket
before use. In case you have any doubt as to the proper functioning
and safety of the bracket, do not use it. Please also refer to section 6.
Maintenance and care on page 5.

Load safety information

The maximum permitted working load of the bracket is 5 kg (11 lb)
(according to BGV C1) which corresponds to the weight of one E6
loudspeaker.
Always align the bracket vertically when using it, whether it is
suspended or placed on top of a loudspeaker stand.

4. Assembly

NOTICE

Please do not use other fixing screws than those supplied and
specified.

Make sure the handle always faces to the top whether the cabinet is
intended to be flown or mounted on a high stand as shown in Fig. 2
and 3 on page 3.

Fig. 5: Assembly

Fig. 6: Operation

The bracket [1] is locked in place on one side of the cabinet using the
hand bolt [2].

No tools required.

1. Fit the bracket [1] into the recessed area of the cabinet side

panel.

2. Fix the bracket to the cabinet using the M10 hand bolt [2].

5. Operation

The center of gravity of the E6 loudspeaker is in line with the bracket’s
axis of rotation. This prevents the vertical flying angle setting from
limiting freedom of movement by creating a twisting force on the
mounting support.

The vertical angle can be set in a range of +90° to –18°.

Vertical alignment

1. Slacken the hand bolt [2].

2. Set the cabinet to the desired vertical angle.

3. Retighten the hand bolt.

Horizontal alignment

The loudspeaker is aligned horizontally via the Loudspeaker stand
adapter or the TV spigot mounting.

6. Maintenance and care

Storing/Transport

The surface treatment temporarily protects the swivel bracket against
moisture. However, ensure the bracket is in a dry state when storing
and transporting it.

During transport ensure the bracket is not stressed or damaged by
mechanical forces. Use suitable transport cases.

Cleaning

Regularly clean and lubricate the swivel bracket using WD-40®or a
similar product.

Inspections

To eliminate the potential risk of accident due to malfunctioning of the
bracket, regularly carry out a visual and functional inspection of the
bracket.

If the bracket fails to operate correctly and/or safely, it
must be withdrawn from use immediately.

Carry out a visual inspection of the bracket regarding obvious
deformation and damage (e.g. cracks and corrosion).

Carry out a visual inspection of the weld strength and the threaded
inserts in the tie bar of the bracket for damage (e.g. cracks and
corrosion).

7. Disposal

Please dispose of this product according to the respective national
regulations.

Ensure that damaged rigging components are disposed of so that they
cannot be used again.
