DESCRIPTIONMany of the popular models in the Yorkville speaker cabinet line are now equipped with flyinghardware for overhead suspension applications. Depending on the model, two or more internalbraces have been provided for rigging purposes. Each brace contains two bolt holes and providescenter-of-gravity fly-points for use with in-line or angular loads. Many of the models will supportadditional suspended cabinets according to their specified working load limits.IMPORTANT!!THE RIGGING OF LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS MATTER. OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVEEXPERIENCE, INCLUDING (BUT NOT LIMITED TO) CALCULATING WORKING LOAD LIMITS, HARDWARE INSTALLATION, ANDPERIODIC SAFETY INSPECTION OF ALL HARDWARE AND CABINETRY. IF YOU LACK THESE QUALIFICATIONS, DO NOT ATTEMPTTHE INSTALLATION YOURSELF, BUT INSTEAD USE A PROFESSIONAL STRUCTURAL RIGGER. IMPROPER INSTALLATION CANRESULT IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. CONSULT A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO CALCULATE ADDED LOADS FOR A BUILDING.STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY TO INSURE A SAFE INSTALLATION.2. REQUIRED TOOLS4.5mm 3/8 Hex WrenchThread lock adhesive (Removable Type)3. EYEBOLT INSTALLATIONa) Using a 3/8 hex wrench, remove the flat head bolts from the top or bottom of the speaker enclosure to exposethe tapped holes (on TX models, the flat head bolts are located within the track rails), as shown below. Be sure tokeep these handy as they will be needed to seal the cabinet after the eyebolts are removed.IMPORTANT!!USE ONLY LOAD RATED FORGED EYEBOLTS. THESE MAY BE PURCHASED THROUGH YORKVILLE SOUND OR ATM FLY-WARE™.TO INSURE CABINET-BRACING STRENGTH, MAKE SURE ALL FLY-POINTS ARE SECURED WITH EITHER AN EYEBOLT OR FLATHEAD HEX BOLT.b) Place a drop of thread-lock adhesive on the threads of the eyebolt and insert one into exposed hole. Tighten eacheyebolt by hand until its fits snugly against the cabinet. Further tighten each eyebolt by rotating it another half turn. Besure to insert eyebolts in the threaded hole directly in-line with the suspension cable. Always follow the eyeboltmanufacturers installation and use instructions.c) Suspend each cabinet according to working load calculations and practices recommended by the rigginghardware manufacturer.IMPORTANT!!ON MODELS WITH ONLY TWO TOP SUSPENSION POINTS THE SUPPLIED PULL BACK AT THE REAR OF THE BOTTOMCENTER PANEL OF THE CABINET IS NOT TO BE USED AS A SUSPENSION POINT. THIS POINT TO BE USED FOR PULL BACKPURPOSES ONLY.IMPORTANT!!READ ALL ENCLOSED INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT PROPER USE OF HARDWARE.

YORKVILLE SOUND MAKES NO CLAIMS AS TO THE SAFETY OF THEENCLOSURES IF RECOMMENDED LOAD LIMITS AND HARDWARE ARE NOT STRICTLY ADHERED TO. NOR DOES IT MAKE ANYSAFETY CLAIMS TO THE RESULTANT INSTALLATION.IMPORTANT!!TRACK RAILINGS: UNITS THAT INCORPORATE THE TRACK RAILING SYSTEM HAVE THE SAME WORKING LOAD LIMITS ASTHEY DO WHEN THEY ARE USED WITH EYEBOLTS. THESE RATINGS MAY BE LIMITED AND BASED ON THE RATINGS OF THETRACK FITTINGS THEMSELVES. PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE RATING OF THE CERTIFIED TRACK FITTINGS EXCEEDSNECESSARY WORKING LOAD LIMITS.4.
