Safety Notes on Rigging 
The Turbosound TA-880 system has been designed and constructed to a high standard of 
safety, and tested to the most demanding of specifications with a safety factor of 13:1. 
Always wear protective headwear, footwear and eye protection in accordance with local 
regulations. Anyone involved in flying ANY sound system, especially in a touring capacity, 
should take note of the following advice: 
The rigging of a flown sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified 
personnel with the required experience and certification to perform the necessary tasks. 
Fixing of hanging points in a roof should always be carried out by a professional rigger and 
in accordance with the local rules of the venue. The house rigger and/or building manager 
must always be consulted. 
You should observe particularly the following points: 
Inspect rigging systems and cabinets for damage before proceeding to assemble a flown 
array. If any parts are damaged or suspect, DO NOT USE THEM. 
When initially ratcheting a column of speakers it is good to bear in mind the expected angle 
of inclination so as to avoid ending up with too much of the strap left on the ratchet. This is 
important because the ratchet can only take three complete turns before it releases itself. 
WARNING: If a tilt strap is released suddenly, the column of enclosures may tend to swing 
violently forwards and care must be taken to avoid danger to persons in the vicinity. It is 
essential to check that nobody is standing immediately in front of the column, and to give a 
suitable warning, before the strap is released. Ideally, two persons should support the 
column from the side whilst the strap is released, or alternatively the bottom row may be 
returned to the ground before release. In any event it is essential that all personnel in the 
vicinity are aware that the system is about to move and that they must keep clear. 
Aspect Flying System components have been individually tested in accordance with the 
following regulations: 
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 
The Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992 
The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 
Each component is covered by a Record of Load Test Certificate, which may be obtained on 
request from Turbosound, quoting the indentifying number(s) from the flying equipment. A 
copy of a sample certificate is reproduced overleaf.
