C Rigging the CADIS™ System
Please read these instructions carefully before you begin setting up the system!

1 Use

1.1 Intended Use

Specifications for intended use include the following:
When rigging enclosures, make sure the load is centered directly under the sus-
pension point on the rigging frame. The rigging frame may be tilted (not to be
confused with curved!) no more than 10% (6°). Note that the specifications for
intended use require you to read and heed all of the operating instructions and
comply with inspection and maintenance requirements.
Any use other than specified is misuse. The manufacturer shall not be liable for
damages resulting from misuse.

1.2 Misuse

Improper use of rigging frames and incorrect handling of this load-carrying
equipment can pose a serious danger. Never:
• use rigging frames to exert diagonal force or tension on loads
• use a crane to dislodge stuck or immovable loads
• lift people
• strike, knock or dent rigging frames
• heat-treat or weld rigging frames
• exceed the truss's maximum load-carrying capacity!
Note that in addition to the above specifications, the operational safety
regulations of VBG 9 (accident prevention regulations of the German
employers' liability insurance association) apply.

2 Warranty and Liability

HK AUDIO shall not be held responsible for damages due to improper use or
failure to comply with the safety specifications for setup and operation.
All warranty and liability claims for personal injury and property damages are
excluded if attributable to one or several of the following causes:
• failure to comply with operating manual instructions, voiding product liability
and warranty claims
• unintended use and misuse of rigging frames
• failure to comply with operating manual instructions regarding transportation,
storage, initial setup, operation, maintenance and repair of rigging frames
• unauthorized structural modifications performed on rigging frames
• unauthorized modification of the parameters specified in the operating
manual
• inadequate or improper repairs
Important Notes on Safety!
Original CADIS™ rigging accessories have been certified as a complete and
cohesive system by the safety standards authority TÜV. The rigging system's
provisions for use require that it be installed in accordance with the following
specifications. Before you begin installation, ensure that the rigging points (for
example, a chain hoist) on the stage roof or the venue's ceiling comply with
BGV-C1 accident prevention regulations and that the safety standards authority
TÜV has certified them for the full load (see table 1). Prior to every installation,
inspect all components to ensure they are in good operating condition, taking
particular care to confirm that all quick-release pins and hardware connectors
are undamaged.
The principle requirement for safe handling and trouble-free operation of rig-
ging frames is a thorough understanding of fundamental operating safety and
safety regulations.
This manual contains important instructions on how to safely use rigging fra-
mes.

2.1 Responsibilities of the Operator

As the operator, you are obligated to allow only those persons to work with rig-
ging frames who are:
• 16 years of age or older,
• physically and mentally able, familiar with the basic rules of industrial safety
and accident prevention, and trained in the handling of rigging frames.
Regularly review and confirm personnel's work safety awareness.
In addition, task personnel with specific responsibilities for setting up, putting
into service, operating, maintaining, and repairing equipment. Ensure that
personnel are trained to work with the rigging frame only under the supervision
of a proficient and experienced technician. Ensure also that defects, flaws and
other damage that could impede safety are repaired immediately.
2.2 Storage, Maintenance, Inspection and Repair of
CADIS™ Rigging Hardware
Storage and safekeeping when not in use
When not in use store the rigging frame in a safe place where it cannot be tip-
ped over and is protected from exposure to the elements.
Inspections
§ 39, VBG 9a of the German employers' liability insurance association's accident
prevention regulations requires that load-carrying equipment be inspected by a
qualified expert and possible defects be eliminated prior to initial commissio-
ning by the recipient.
§ 40, VBG 9a requires that load-carrying equipment be inspected at least annu-
ally for cracks.
Additionally, equipment used in mobile applications where it is frequently set
up and torn down must be inspected for cracks every six months.
Maintenance
You are authorized to replace easily serviceable wearing or standard parts in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Use original parts for this
purpose.
Tighten screws and bolted connections whenever necessary.
Repair
In the event that parts of the load-carrying equipment have been deformed, it is
up to the manufacturer to determine if they are repairable.
Solely the manufacturer is authorized to perform welding and repair jobs on
load-carrying equipment.
