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 www.meyersound.com
.
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 MG-LEOPARD/900 grid tilt kit does not include quick-
release pins because the angle feet are secured with the quick-release pins included with the grid.
