• When mounting mid/high range enclosures, make
sure that the load is centreed directly under the
suspension point on the rigging frame.
• The rigging frame may not be tilted more than

and comply with inspection and maintenance
requirements.
Any use other than specified is unintended.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for damages
resulting from unintended use.
1.2 Unintended Use
Improper use of rigging frames and incorrect
handling of this load-carrying equipment can pose
a serious danger.
Never
• use rigging frames to exert diagonal force or ten-
sion on loads,
• use a crane to dislodge stuck or immovable loads,
• lift people,
• strike, knock or dent rigging frames,
• heat-treat or weld rigging frames,
• exceed the truss's maximum load-carrying capacity
Note that in addition to the above specifications,
the operational safety regulations of VBG 9 (the
German employers' liability insurance association
accident prevention regulations) apply.

3 Important Notes
on Safety
Original COHEDRA ® rigging accessories have been
certified as a complete and cohesive system by the
safety standards authority TÜV. The directions for
use of the COHEDRA
® rigging system require that
it be installed in accordance with the following
specifications. Before you begin installation, ensure
that the mounting points (for example, a chain hoist)
on the stage roof or the venue's ceiling comply with
BGV-C1 accident prevention regulations and that
the safety standards authority TÜV has certified
them for the full load (see table 1). Prior to every
installation, inspect all components to ensure they
are in good operating condition, taking particular
care to confirm that all quick-release pins and hard-
ware connectors are undamaged.
The principle requirement for safe handling
and trouble-free operation of rigging frames is
a thorough understanding of the basic notes on
safety and the safety regulations.
This operating manual contains key rules on safe
handling.
3.1 Responsibilities of the Operator
As the operator, you are legally bound to allow only
those persons to work with rigging frames who are
• 16 years of age or older,
• physically and mentally able, familiar with the basic
rules of industrial safety and accident prevention,
and trained in the handling of rigging frames.
Be sure to regularly review and confirm personnel's
safety awareness.
In addition, task personnel with specific responsibi-
lities for setting up, putting into service, operating,
maintaining, and repairing equipment. Ensure
that personnel are trained to work with the rigging
frame only under the supervision of a proficient and
experienced technician. Ensure also that defects,
flaws and other damage that could impede safety
are repaired immediately.
