12. Transport and Storage
All metal components are protected against short-term moisture with a coating.
SEQUENZA 5The accessories has to be stored, transported and used in a dry enviroment. The
SEQUENZA 5 System is not designed for long-term use in a corrosive environment.
Make sure that the system is adequately ventilated during longer storage periods so that
possible residual moisture can escape from the equipment.
Furthermore, you should ensure that all components of the SEQUENZA 5 System are
protected from mechanical strain to prevent possible damage.
We recommend using the SEQUENZA 5 W transport cases and the optional transport covers for
the SEQUENZA 5 B speakers that protect the components from the above-mentioned influences.
13. Maintenance and Care
For the owner and user, it is mandatory to be aware of the fact that rigging systems are
highly safety critical.
The inspection requirements vary depending on application and country of use. Observe the
requirements that are relevant for you. If in doubt, contact local authorities.
In many countries, regular inspection of mounting components and accessories is required. It
is thus recommendable to carry through such an inspection for your own safety, too. In most
cases (e.g. german BGV C1), an additional annual inspection is required that must be done by
a technical expert. Additionally, a detailed inspection carried through by a legally certified or
official authority is required every four years.
In this context, it is very important to keep an inspection log book. In this inspection log
book, the data for every used accessory is entered at the periodic inspections, making the
data available at all times for possible inspections.
In addition an inspection book for the rigging components of the SEQUENZA 10 system
should be kept and maintained carefully. SEQUENZA 5This book should document
maintenance measures and inspection intervals and contain parts lists.
If as a result of these checks any uncertainty should arise with regard to safety or if specific
faults are found, the product may no longer be used. You should send in the product to a
KLING & FREITAG specialist dealer for inspection and repairs, if necessary.
If defects are ascertained, then you must send in the product to KLING & FREITAG GmbH for
inspection and repairs, if necessary.
You may not repair or straighten the components of the SEQUENZA 10 System (speakers and
flying frame) yourself! SEQUENZA 5If parts of the rigging system are damaged, send in the
speakers or the flying frame to KLING & FREITAG GmbH or recycle it at a professional scrap
processing plant. It must by all means be guaranteed that the parts can no longer be used in
any way after their disposal.
13.1 Inspection Intervals and Items
The SEQUENZA 5 system can exhibit signs of wear over the years, i.e. from mechanical strain,
transport damage, corrosion, or improper handling. In general, this always indicates an
increased accident risk.
As a basic principle, you must visually inspect the SEQUENZA 10 System every time you get
it out or box it up. SEQUENZA 5For fixed installations, you must inspect the SEQUENZA 10
System at regular intervals for signs of wear. SEQUENZA 5
During these inspections, you must especially look out for deformations, cracks, dents,
damage to threads, and corrosion. Mounting devices such as shackles, chains and wire ropes
also have to be checked for signs of wear or deformation carefully.
Use the visual inspection as an opportunity to rub all metal parts, especially the connectors,
ball lock pins and spring bolts with a suitable corrosion preventive oil.
