1 Use
1.1 Intended Use

• When rigging enclosures, make sure that the load
is centered directly under the suspension point
on the rigging frame.
• The rigging frame may be tilted (not to be confused
with curved!) no more than 10% (6°). Note that
the specifications for intended use require you
to read and heed all of the operating instructions
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
tension 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 (accident
prevention regulations of the German employers’
liability insurance association) apply.

Important Notes on Safety
Original COHEDRA ® rigging accessories have been
certified as a complete and cohesive system by
the safety standards authority TÜV. The COHEDRA
®
rigging system’s provisions for use require that it be
installed in accordance with the following specifica-
tions. Before you begin installation, ensure that the
rigging 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 hardware connectors are
undamaged.
The principle requirement for safe handling and
trouble-free operation of rigging frames is a thorough
understanding of fundamental operating safety and
safety regulations.
This operating manual contains important instruc-
tions on the safe operation of rigging frames.
