Page 2: Flying Safety
W8L flying system user has the opportunity to read and fully understand the advice and information presented in this manual. Every W8L flying system user also needs to be properly trained in the safe use of the system before ever constructing and deploying the system in a working situation. -

'flown' from suitably secure and appropriately load rated rigging points in the roof structure of a theatre, hall or indoor arena. The W8L suspension system is rated with a safety factor of 7:1 and is solely and exclusively intended for use with the W8L loudspeaker enclosure. -
Page 4: W8L Enclosure Rigging Hardware
W8L Enclosure Rigging Hardware The W8L enclosure has steel rigging hardware at the front and rear of the enclosure. At either side of the front of the enclosure, a sliding tongue is stored within the front rigging assembly. Removal of a quick release pin allows the tongue to drop down into the front rigging assembly of the enclosure below, where it is secured using the same quick release pin. - Page 5 The load bearing capabilities of the building or support structure should always be assessed, inspected and certified by an appropriate professional engineer.

Page 6: Safety Factor
The 7:1 safety factor will be maintained for up to a maximum of 16 boxes in the array, within certain limits of tilt. The W8L suspension spreadsheet program can be used to determine the limit of tilt for various array configurations. -
Page 7: Planning And Constructing Arrays
To ensure that the rated load safety factor of the W8L flying system is maintained, always check the actual total load of the flying system, rigging and loudspeaker cabinets. -
Page 8: One Box At A Time
Lower the frame onto the top box, locating the front tongues within the front rigging assembly. Secure the tongues in position with the quick release pin.

Page 15: Care & Maintenance
CARE & MAINTENANCE All mechanical systems with moving parts are subject to wear and tear and the W8L flying system is no exception to this rule. Damage to the system components from long term wear and tear, accident, or the application of excessive force during set-up or adjustment can all increase the risk of mishaps. - Page 16 Flying systems set up in permanent installations pose fewer safety problems than touring or mobile systems. None-the-less, regular safety inspections of fixed or semi-fixed systems based upon the above guidance should also be undertaken. Martin Audio – W8L Flying System...
