6.1 RIGGING OVERVIEW
The JFL213 & JFL210 full range loudspeakers each have one Rigging
Tube on each enclosure side – two in total. The JFL118 subwoofer has
one Rigging Tube on each enclosure side and one Rigging Tube on
enclosure rear – three in total. Each Tube contains a captive Latch
which slides down and attaches to the Rigging Tubes of an adjacent
enclosure via a 46 mm/1.8 in Quick Release Pin–see Figure to the right.
DANGER: Ensure each Quick Release Pin used in assembling an array
is fully inserted and engaged into the Tube and Bar holes. Only use the
supplied Quick Release Pins or equal. Pins of different lengths, diam-
eter, or material will compromise the structural integrity of the rigging
system and may result in damage to the equipment, injury, or death.
Each product also includes M10 threaded Permanent Installation (PI)
suspension points on enclosure top and bottom – two each for JFL213 &
JFL210 and three each for JFL118. The Figure to the left illustrates their
locations in the JFL213 & JFL210 top panel. M10 forged shoulder eye-
bolts or similar load-rated hardware may be used in these points when
deploying JFL Series products in permanent installation applications.
6.2 RIGGING WARNINGS
WARNING: Suspending anything, especially overhead of people, should be done with extreme
caution. Always engage the services of a certified professional who is qualified to determine
and implement the requirements for overhead rigging. Only persons with the knowledge of
proper hardware and safe rigging techniques should attempt to suspend JFL213 or JFL210
Series arrays overhead. Failure to follow these precautions may result in damage to the equip-
ment, injury, or death.
DANGER: When suspending or stacking JFL213 or JFL210s and JFL118s, avoid placing any
parts of the body between the enclosures or between an enclosure and the Fly Bar. Always
use the integral handles to lift or position enclosures. Failure to follow this precaution may
result in damage to the equipment, injury, or death.
CAUTION: A JFL213 weighs approximately 28 kg / 62 lb. This, along with the physical size,
means that one person may be able to lift and carry it. However, always use proper lifting tech-
niques to avoid injury. Use good judgment to determine if you need lifting assistance such as
another person, a back support belt, or mechanical assistance. Because it weighs approxi-
mately 44.5 kg / 98 lb, always use two people or mechanical assistance to lift a JFL118.
Please see Section 4 “Rigging / Mounting / Suspension” and Section 5 “Rigging Design” in the
accompanying EAW Loudspeaker Owner’s Manual for additional, important rigging information.
