Coda Audio Rigging System's Maintenance
The following general maintenance procedures apply to Coda Audio TiRAY and
TiLOW, rigging parts and accessories.
As there are some differences to certification and other local regulation requirements from
one territory to another. The following maintenance procedures are supplied as a guide to
general good maintenance of your rigging system. This guide should be studied in conjunction
with any local rules and regulations for your territory. This guide does not replace any local
rules and regulations and should not be taken as an overriding guide to any local rules and
regulations that you may need to adhere to in your own territory.
General:
All rigging parts, including cabinet fixtures and fitting, fly-bars, extension bars, shackles and
dollies should be fully inspected every 12 months. The owner of the equipment should set up
their own schedule for undertaking this work. It is recommended that the first general
inspection should be undertaken 12 months from date of first system use.
In addition to an annual inspection of all parts; Coda Audio recommends that a general visual
inspection of all parts should take place before each system is installed or used. A further
visual inspection should be undertaken at the end of each use. These inspections should be
performed by a suitably experienced and qualified system technician, and a log should be
kept of all inspections completed.
It is important to remember that the cabinet fixtures and fastenings form an integral part of
the overall suspension (flying) system. Therefore, great care must be taken when using,
transporting or storing your cabinets and accessories so as to avoid any physical damage,
either via hard contact with floors, walls or other equipment coming into contact with your
speaker cabinets and their accessories. Coda Audio provides a variation of transport dollies,
flight cases and soft covers to help protect your system, and these should be used at all times.
Coda Audio does not accept any liability or responsibilities for damage, how so ever caused,
to your systems or accessories at any time. Coda Audio recommends the use of the
accessories made available, at all times without exception. It is the responsibility of the
equipment "owner" to keep all equipment in good working order and for it to be used only as
intended, within its listed specification area of use. Should you have any questions relating to
the correct usage of the equipment, please contact your Coda Audio representative or Coda
Audio direct for further assistance and support. Contact information is listed at the back of
this document.
This document will only discuss and cover Coda Audio supplied products and accessories. This
document does not take into account any equipment which is used in conjunction with Coda
Audio products and accessories, such as chain motors, electric hoists, steel wire, shackles or
other rigging equipment.
