CHAPTER 4: QUICKFLY RIGGING
IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS!
When installing Meyer Sound loudspeakers and subwoofers, the following precautions should always be observed:
•All Meyer Sound products must be used in accordance
with local, state, federal, and industry regulations. It is
the owner’s and user’s responsibility to evaluate the reli-
ability of any rigging method for their application. Rigging
should only be carried out by experienced professionals.
•Use mounting and rigging hardware that has been rated
to meet or exceed the weight being hung.
•Make sure to attach mounting hardware to the building’s
structural components (roof truss), and not just to the
wall surface.
•Make sure bolts and eyebolts are tightened securely.
Meyer Sound recommends using Loctite
®
on all
threaded fasteners.
•Inspect mounting and rigging hardware regularly. Imme-
diately replace any worn or damaged components.
LEOPARD RIGGING OPTIONS
Table 4 summarizes the available rigging options for LEOPARD. For complete information about rigging hardware, including
dimensions, weight, configuration, and load ratings, refer to the MG-LEOPARD/900 Assembly Guide (PN 05.243.080.01)
available at
meyersound.com/documents
.
NOTE: The MCF-LEOPARD caster frame does not include quick-release pins because it is secured with the
quick-release pins included with the loudspeaker. The GROUNDSTACK DOWNTILT KIT: MG-LEOPARD/900
does not include quick-release pins because the angle feet are secured with the quick-release pins included with the
grid.
