GEO D RIGGING PROCEDURE Page 57/97
5.6.9 De-rigging and loading out
Taking the system down is just a case of doing the reverse procedure to flying the array. However,
there are some important factors to consider.
• Lower the array running the two motor hoists simultaneously until the bottom cabinet is just off
the floor, main bumper being horizontal.
• Rotate the chain hoist lever counter-clockwise until there is no tension on the compression chain
and no compression on the system.
• Disconnect the bottom GEO D from the bottom bumper and remove the bottom bumper from the
array.
Link cables must be disconnected and stowed away in the recesses in the rear of each
cabinet.
• NB : As the system is lowered it is good practise to disconnect as many loudspeaker cables as
can be reached without climbing the array. This ensures that a cable should not be accidentally
forgotten when the system is separated. Damage to the connector will occur should this mistake
be made.
• Angle adjustment push-pins should be removed from the angle setting and inserted in the “FIX”
hole so that Geo D’s sit flat on the dolly.
• Lift the dolly manually below the array and connect it to the bottom GEO D with 4 push-pins.
Carefully lower the array so that the dolly being on the ground is not being submitted to
the entire cluster weight.
• Disconnect the first block of 3 GEO D’s at the connection between 3 rd and 4 th bottom cabinets.
• Carefully lift the array using both motor hoists until the array is clear. Ensure the array is vertical
at all times.
• Repeat the procedure for all cabinets.
• Remove the GEO D compression chain from the GEO D extension bar EX2, slide the extension
bar into the bumper and remember to replace all the axes back in their respective beams.
