Working Load Limit The JBL SoundFactor Install loudspeakers are supplied with built-in internal braces to be used with the supplied forged shoulder eyebolts or other approved fastener. The system is designed to facilitate the suspension of the loudspeaker by a qualified person familiar with rigging hardware and industry practices. IMPORTANT! You must ensure that ALL installation procedures specified in this manual are carefully followed. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death.
General Hardware Information Any hardware used in an overhead suspension application must be load rated for the intended use. Generally, this type of hardware is available from rigging supply houses; industrial supply catalogs and specialized rigging distributors. Local hardware stores do not usually stock these products. Hardware that is intended for overhead suspension will comply with ASME B30.20 and will be manufactured under product traceability controls.
Proper Sling Termination The slings described herein are "suspension slings" and are different from "lifting slings" as defined by government regulatory bodies. Do NOT use hardware chain. The JBL SoundFactor Install loudspeakers must be used in static suspension applications only. Wire rope suspension slings are suggested for all installations requiring suspension of the JBL SoundFactor Install loudspeakers. The suggested wire rope is identified as 1/8" 7 x 19 Galvanized Aircraft Cable (1/8- 7 x 19 GAC).
Rigging Connections Some installations require the use of a removable connection between the structure and the loudspeaker. Hardware commonly used for these applications includes: Quick Link Used in-line with only one wire rope per end. Only use load rated quick links, which will have the WLL imprinted on the component. Screw Pin Anchor Shackle Used in-line or at an angle up to 45 degrees and can combine two wire ropes into one. A mouse wire (aka safety wire) must be used after installation.
Attachment to Structures A licensed Professional Engineer must approve the placement and method of attachment to the structure prior to the installation of any overhead object. The following performance standards should be provided to the Professional Engineer for design purposes; Uniform Building Code as applicable, Municipal Building Code as applicable, Seismic Code as applicable, and a minimum of a 5:1 design factor throughout the suspension system.

Inspection, Maintenance and Liability Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, they require regular inspection and routine maintenance to ensure that safety has not been compromised. The JBL SoundFactor Install loudspeakers and associated suspension components must be inspected for fatigue at least annually and immediately following exposure to impact, mechanical shock, fire, water or other hazard.
