Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in flying speaker systems should inspect all
components for cracks, deformations, corrosion, missing parts or damaged parts that could reduce strength and
integrity of the system. For further information on precautions and rigging techniques, see JBL Technical Note
Volume 1, Number 14. This document is available in the Technical Reference section of www.jblpro.com

The rigging track used on SR-X/F models can accommodate both 10 mm forged shoulder eyebolts and detach-
able track fittings. When using 10 mm forged shoulder eyebolts with SR-X/F, always use a 10 mm washer
between the track and the eyebolt/ Failure to do so can result in damage to the track and unsafe suspension of
the speaker system. The the event that the track is damaged, the speaker should not be suspended until the
damaged part is replaced. A kit containing 10 mm forged eyebolts and washers is available from JBL
Professional Parts (PN: 229-00017-00).

When used with an appropriate eyebolt and washer (see above) the SR-X/F suspension system has a working
load limit (WLL) of 400 lbs. (181 kg.) per point with a 7:1 design factor. When used with an appropriate track fit-
ting, the SR-X/F suspension system has a working load limit (WLL) of 500 lbs. (227 kg.) per point with a 7:1
design factor.

Suspension or flying speaker systems requires training and expertise. Improper rigging of a flying speaker may
result in injury, death, equipment damage, and legal liability. This User Guide is intended to provide a skilled
system rigger with resources needed to get the most from the SR-X/F speaker system. This User Guide will not
provide the novice with the skills and training needed to safely fly a speaker system. If you lack the skills,
training, and proper ancillary equipment to fly a speaker system do not attempt to do so. Obtain the services of a
qualified rigger or get the proper training yourself.

The SR-X/F models are equipped with ATM FLY-WARE® rigging hardware. Only hardware rated for overhead
suspension and certified in accordance with appropriate safety standards should be used to fly speaker systems.
