Pre-Locking The Angles (Optional Step) - JBL VTX Series Rigging Manual

9.2 PRE-LOCKING THE ANGLES (OPTIONAL STEP)

This step is not required, but provides a convenient shortcut. After selecting the angles, the A8 cabinets can be extended and locked
while still on the ground. This can make connecting flown cabinets to cabinets on the ground much easier, since the rear rigging con-
nection points sit at a much higher elevation enabling them to connect more easily to the flown arrays . The A8 cabinets are lightweight
enough that angles can be locked simply by lifting each enclosure by its rear panel handles.
STEPS:
• Lift each A8 enclosure using its rear panel handle until the cabinet extends to its final position.

• Use your hands to pull up the top rigging arms until they fully engage. The stack connected to the array frame does not need

to be manually extended since the electric hoist will lock the cabinets once suspended.

CAUTION: If all enclosures of a stack are set to narrow angle positions (0 .25° - 3°), not all enclosures should be
fully extended to avoid potential risk of tipping . Extend the cabinets just enough to make connecting to the flown
array easier . The A8 auto-locking mechanism keeps the cabinets locked and secured .
