PRE-RIG TRUSS Pre-Rig truss is 30" x 26" in size. It is manufactured from aluminium tube 6082-T6 with 2" x .125"wall thickness for main tubes and 1" x .125" wall tube for the diagonals. Each truss piece has 4 castorwheels for easy maneuverability and bolts for the connection of truss pieces. Each truss is designed to carry 2 lighting bars complete with lanterns. The lighting bars are storedinternally in the truss and can be lowered to the working position when in use. This design reduces theamount of space required for lighting and rigging in the truck. Each truss is also designed to carry avarying amount of lanterns, the 10' section carries 2 bars of 8 lanterns, 7' 7"section carries 2 bars of 6lanterns, 5' section carries 2 bars of 4 lanterns, and the 3' 9-1/2" section carries 2 bars of 3 lanterns. Thisfeature enables great flexibility in the truss design. The Pre-Rig truss accepts a modified lighting bar which have 2 sleeved holes in them. The lightingbars are located inside the truss by guide rods. In the storage position the bars are securely held in thetruss by shank hooks. The whole system can be used with our Ground Support System by using suitablesleeve blocks and towers.

Thomas has rethought truss design to encompass the changing demands of the touring industry. The supertrussdesign features new double end connectors, which are orientated, so that the truss elements are unisex ( they can beused either way ). Made from 6061T6 or 6082T6 alloy, the truss has 2" x 0.157" main chord tubes and 1" x 0.125"diagonal tubes. Supertruss saves truck space because of its very high strength in relation to its size and also the space savingdesign of the corners. The corners are simplicity themselves. As for the 2 way corner, only a connecting gate is required to bracebetween the outer fork connectors. The 3 way corner only requires a connecting gate and 2 square connectingplates. The 4 way corner requires just 2 square connecting plates. In order to use the supertruss with towers, 2sleeve connecting plates with roller wheels are required with 1 or 2 ladders depending on how many trussconnections their are. 60 degree corners require 2 extended double fork connectors and a connecting gate. Otherangles can be easily made to order. Variable and vertical connecting forks are available for 0 - 90 degree operation.

JAMES MOVINGLIGHT

SUPERTRUSS Moving Light supertruss has been designed around the Pre-rigged supertruss size. 96” x 30" x 26" insize (other sizes are available). Moving light supertruss provides a substantial increase in load bearingcapacity over the flat plate pre-rigged truss. It is manufactured from aluminium tube 6061-T6 or 6082-T6 with 2" x .157" wall thickness for main tubes and 1" x .125" wall tube for the diagonals. Each truss piecehas 8 castor wheels for easy maneuverability and pins and R-clips for the connection of truss pieces. Each 96” truss is designed to carry 3 moving light fixtures. The moving lights are stored internally inthe truss and can be lowered to the working position when in use. This design reduces the amount ofspace required for lighting and rigging in the truck. . Two handles allow the lowering of each moving light. The following units have been tried in ourmoving light trusses: Highend Studio Color and Studio Spot.Coemar CF7 wash fixtureMartins line of Mac fixtures; 250, 300, 500, 600, and 2000Other fixtures may fit within the design of this truss by using a custom fitted plate.

The whole system can be used with our Ground Support System by using suitable sleeve blocks andtowers. Please note: no fixtures are included with truss.

Supermegatruss has been developed for those applications which require monumental loadbearing capability. The truss is manufactured from 6082T6 or 6061T6 tube using 3"diameter main tubes, 1.96" cross boomtubes and 1.5" diagonals. The end connection is a scaled up version of the Supertruss fork ensuring the easyand strong connection qualities required. Manoeuvrability is ensured by the standard fitting of castors. Thistruss has a maximum clear span capability of 127' (39m) without lateral restraint. If there is lateral restraintavailable mid span, then the maximum span can be up to 157' (48m). This truss is an excellent basis for a"Mothergrid" or a large Roof System.

The Baby Tower can be used to lift loads by one of the 3 types as following :- 1) Manual wire rope winch mounted to Base section.

2) Manual Chain hoist mounted to the truss rig.3) Electric Chain hoist mounted to the truss rig.

Each set of system components is by the following method :-1) Which type of lifting method is required ?

2) Do you require a hinge section ?3) Are you using it as a 3 or more tower system ?

4) Are you using a goal post system ? 5) Are you using just a single tower ?

Recommendations for choosing system componentsWe recommend the use of a hinge section when a tower is 13 feet high or taller or when there is more than 1 tower.

If using 4 towers in a box configuration, the outrigger section will not be necessary. All systems with 1 or 2 towersmust be used with 4 Outriggers and the Hinge Section fitted to each tower.

If using a chain hoist system you must order the Roller Beam. Manual chain hoists must be custom ordered with themanual hoist mounting kit for the truss type being used. Electric chain hoists can be used with truss lifting points orspan sets.

If using a wire rope system then you must order the Top Pulley Section. The hand winch with wire rope must be fittedto the Hand Winch Mounting Bracket which is fitted to the Base section.

BABY TOWER 2 ENGINEERING

The Thomas Baby Tower 2 system is a small ground support tower designed to lift loads of up to 2000 lbs. to amaximum height of 26 feet in a 4 tower configuration, 18 feet in a goal post (2 tower) configuration with the outriggersection fitted or 14 feet as a single tower with the outrigger arms and section fitted.

The Baby Tower is made up of modular lengths of 4" x .25" wall thickness square tube to provide an adjustableheight to suit your requirements. These simply fit together by sliding the section into the top of the section below it.

The truss rig is adapted to the tower system by means of suitable sleeve blocks for the type of truss being used. Thesleeve blocks are fitted with 4 wheels which allow the truss rig to rise up and down the tower smoothly. The wholesystem is very light weight and simple to use and will pack away into a very small space.

The 12" square ground support tower. A system manufactured with the purposeof providing a lifting medium for a variety of Thomas trusses ranging from 12" x 12"through to heavy duty truss.

The towers will provide the necessary equipment to support a truss rig in venueswhere the flying points are either not strong enough, or in the right place. Eachtower is capable of lifting 2 ton to a maximum height of 33 feet. The 2 ton weightmust include the self weight of the truss rig and the motors. The truss rig is raisedand lowered by means of electric chain hoists. The motor is rigged in the truss andworks in double fall due to the chain being passed over the roller beam at the top ofthe tower. The motor is then connected onto the other side of the sleeve block.Below, we list a brief description of the parts which make up a 12" ground supporttower.

The base of the tower has 4 screw jack assemblies with 6" diameter foot padswhich are adjustable to enable leveling of the tower. The base also incorporates 4ball castors which allows the whole rig to be accurately positioned before the toweris raised. Once the tower system is ready to be raised, all the screw jacks must beadjusted evenly and must take the load off the ball castors.

The hinge section is designed to allow the towers to be assembled horizontally attruss top level before being swung and locked in the vertical operating position.

The tower sections are manufactured from aluminum 6082-T6 2" x .157" thickwall tube with 1" x .125" wall diagonals. The tower sections are connected togetherby Camloc quick release bolts. The tower sections are in modular form to allow 30"adjustments in height up to a maximum of 33 feet. Once the tower height has beendetermined, then the roller beam is fitted at the top of the tower.

The roller beam accepts the chain from the chain hoist which is run over the topof the roller beam and back down to the other side of the sleeve block.

The sleeve block is the interface between the truss rig and the towers. It isdesigned to create a semi-rigid joint between the truss grid and the towers by using16 heavy duty 4" wheels to guide the rig up each tower.

The standard 12" tower kit is made up of the following truss elements:

TRUSS USER INSTRUCTIONS

©JAMES THOMAS ENGINEERING, INC.

A. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS FOR TRUSSDetermine the type of truss required to do the job. Check the load requirements for the job carefully to determine the exact

load on any truss run. Make sure that the truss is capable of lifting the required loads. Refer to the structural engineering report forloading information.

Make sure you have the loading figures for your truss, which is in the back of the structural report book, if you do not havethe information contact James Thomas Engineering.

Make sure you fully understand the loading figures, if in doubt ask.When mixing the old flat Camloc plate truss with the newer flanged Camloc plate truss, ensure that loading figures are

taken from the flat Camloc plate truss structural engineering report.Determine the amount of weight loading on flying points as this will have a bearing on the truss type used. Do not forget to

take the whole weight of the rig including the hoists into consideration, when determining how much weight is to be suspendedfrom each flying point.

If the truss is being rigged permanently, then we suggest that high tensile M16 nut and bolt sets (or the U. S. equivalent tothese sets) are used to join the truss sections.B. HANDLING AND TRANSPORTATION

Truss is generally a reliable maintenance free product. When used within its designed loading parameters and handledwith care, truss will have a long operating life.

Do not drop truss as this will cause ends to deform. If dropped the truss will not operate correctly. Each section is designedto transfer load through the top tubes as well as the Camloc fixings. Therefore it is imperative that the ends are circular,

Do not drag the truss as this will cause the tubes to pit and aluminum to be shaved off.When possible store truss upright with the female Camlocs facing down (never the male). If truss is to be stored

horizontally it is advisable to stack the truss with pieces of wood in between each section.When loading or unloading be sure you have enough people to load the truss so that the above doesn't happen.

Additionally there are recommendations for the weights that an individual should carry without harm. Stick to those limits. Do notdrag truss over other trusses as this will cause damage to tubes and diagonals.C. GENERAL INSPECTION OF TRUSS BEFORE EACH USE

Do not use truss if: ACTION i. Any welds have cracks in them. Refer to JTEii. Any of the end Camloc plates are bent. Refer to JTEiii. Camloc male studs show visible sign of twist. Replace as necessaryiv. Camloc crosspins are bent or missing. Replace as necessaryv. Female Camloc receptacles are loose. Tighten retaining screws and nutsvi. Crosspins in new QRB Camlocs are bent or missing Replace as necessary (These are designed to break before bolt is damaged)vii. High tensile M16 nuts & bolts are worn. Replace as necessary (Every time any nut & bolt is used some thread is lost)viii. There are any dents in the main tubes and diagonals. Refer to JTEix. Truss is badly chewed by wing bolts. Refer to JTE

(Exercise care when using Hook clamps)

D. RIGGINGAssembly of truss should be done by competent personnel

who are familiar with the use and assembly of aluminum truss.Ensure that one person is responsible for making sure all the

Camlocs, nuts and bolts are tightened correctly. Ensure that thisperson is responsible for rigging the span sets and flying points so asnot to put the truss in any danger of being overloaded. One individualshould be overall responsible for the whole rig.

Truss must run with the diagonals visible at the sides. Wheresections are joined the diagonals "must form a continuous pattern"see figure here.

Note: Diagonals must form a continuous pattern

®

Never mix different makes or types of truss.Truss should be rigged to the underside tubes with suitable spansets that will not damage tubes. Alternatively truss lifting

points can be used to allow safe rigging of truss. See figures below

Refer to operating instructions for safe rigging of spansets or lifting points.Ensure that all the hoists used to lift the rigged truss operate simultaneously before lifting. If they do not the truss must not belifted.

When rigging light fixtures to the truss ensure that they are safely supported by using the correct fixing medium. Do notscrew the wing bolts so tight as to damage the tubes. Always undo the wing bolt before adjusting the fixture, then retighten. Withheavier equipment, it would be advisable to use half couplers in place of the hook clamps. Safety chains are recommended.

E. USE OF CAMLOCS

CAMLOC 34F QUARTER TURNTo assemble, Line up truss male end to female receptacle end correctly so that all main truss tubes align, push male

Camlocs into female receptacles. Use a 3/4" spanner to turn the male stud through 90 degrees onto the stop position on thefemale receptacle. Turn the adjusting screw with 3/16" hexagonal wrench to give the desired compression. Do not exceed 75 FPtorque.

To disassemble the truss: loosen the camloc adjusting screw, then rotate male camloc through 90 degreescounter-clockwise. Then pull truss apart.QRB CAMLOC (QUICK RELEASE BOLT)

To assemble truss with the QRB, use the custom camloc spanner. Line up the truss male end to female receptacle endcorrectly so that all main truss tubes align, push male QRB Camlocs into female receptacles. Using the custom Camloc spannercastleated end turn the QRB through 90 degrees to engage the lugs into the female receptacle. Using the 3/4" end of the spannertighten the locking nut until it is a snug fit against the spacing washer

To disassemble, Use 3/4" spanner to slacken off the locking nut, then use the castleated end of spanner to release theQRB by turning counter-clockwise.

NOTES ONTRUSS

INSPECTION

ENGINEERING ®

JAMES

All trusses need to be inspected by a competent Testing House or Persons qualified to inspect truss andassociated parts.A. Truss must be inspected every year in accordance with ANSI E1.2.

B. Recommended technique for inspection is detailed below and in ANSI E1.2.

C. Should the truss fail any of the requirements in items 1,2 or 3. Then it must be stamped "UNSAFEDO NOT USE" and taken out of service. If the truss fails on any of the requirements in 4,5 or 6, then thefailing parts must be replaced before it is returned to service.Truss that has failed can be returned to James Thomas Engineering Ltd. or James ThomasEngineering, Inc. for inspection and repair if possible.

D. Associated truss parts should also be checked for defects, in line with the criteria shown above.Attention should also be paid to parts not described above.

E. Structural reports are available from James Thomas Engineering Ltd. They are available forreference and should be in the users possession. This report shows the maximum loads for given spansand also indicate the maximum span of the truss being used.

1. CAMLOC PLATES (end plates)Check all plates for signs of outward bending. Check for Camloc/bolt holes that are distorted. This iscaused by overloading the truss when in operation. The recommended method for checking plates, is toplace the thin edge of a steel rule diagonally across the face of the plates. If any bends are detected inthe plate, do not use the truss.

2. WELDINGAll welds should be checked visually with the aid of a magnifying glass or with the use of a dye penetrantto help in the detection of cracks. If any cracks are found in the weld, do not use the truss.

3. TUBESBENDS There are several points to be visually inspected on both the main and diagonal tubes. Firstcheck all tubes for any signs of bending (please note that during manufacture rippling in the main tubeswill unavoidably occur). If the main or diagonal tubes show any visible evidence of being bent, do notuse the truss.

MISSING DIAGONALS If any Diagonals have been badly damaged or are missing, do not use the truss.


page 2 of 3

DENTS AND CHEWS Damage is often caused when the truss not stored correctly or other objectsbeing dropped onto the truss or clamps are overtightened. Visually check all the tubes for dents,damaged ends, and chew marks. Use the figures below as a guide. If any defects are visible in thetubes, then the truss should not be used.

GENERAL CONDITION After any truss has been in circulation, it will start to wear. Make a thoroughinspection of all the above and also general condition. The wall thickness and the ends of the tubes willneed special attention. Check for excessive wear in the tube.

4. CAMLOC FASTENERSMALE STUDS 34F SERIES Check for signs of wear, damage, twist, missing adjustment screws, ormissing cross pins. Replace any missing parts, or replace the fastener if damage is present.QUICK RELEASE BOLTS Check for signs of wear, damage, twist, or missing pins. Replace any missingparts, or replace the fastener if damage is present.FEMALE RECEPTACLE 34F SERIES Check for loose or missing nuts and screws. Re-tighten the nutsand screws if they are loose or replace them if they are missing. Check for excessive wear at the pointthat the Camloc pin rests inside the Receptacle.

5. HIGH TENSILE NUT AND BOLTS Check for signs of wear, damage, twist and missing nuts and bolts. Regularly check the condition of thebolt as it will lose an amount of thread every time it is used. Replace any missing parts, or replace thenut and bolt, if damage is present.

6. TRUSS IDENTIFICATION LABELSAll trusses must have an identification label present in order that you can relate the following: Date ofmanufacture, Serial No, Truss type, and specifications. The label must not be removed. This label willalso allow for proper record keeping of annual inspections.

For your safety and protection, YOU MUST read these instructions completely before using theequipment, and keep them for future reference.

Carefully observe all warnings, precautions and instructions when using this equipment. Allpersonnel using this equipment should be trained for the proper and safe use of this equipment.

SAFETY NOTES

1. Unless optional outriggers are used the system to be lifted MUST be a four (4) sided box orrectangle and include four (4) towers, one in each corner.

2. The total load of each tower, including hoist, must not exceed the figures produced inStructural Engineers Report.

3. The ground, floor, or stage on which the towers will stand must be capable of withstandingthe substantial point load imposed by these towers. Please refer to Structural EngineersReport for the correct figures.

4. A square of 3/4" (20mm) plywood should be placed under each tower base in order to avoiddamage to the floor surface and to help disperse the load.

5. The towers must be assembled with the diagonals forming a continuous pattern. The sidesof the tower with the diagonals should be parallel with the longest span of truss (If the rig is 5section wide and 3 sections deep the diagonals will be on the upstage and downstage facesof the tower).

6. Towers must be vertical before any weight is applied, or the strength and stability will beimpaired.

7. Tower sections must be examined regularly for signs of damage; Please refer to "Notes onTruss Certification" sheet. Care should be taken when handling tower sections.

8. The Camlocs, truss pins with clips, or truss bolts must be checked every time the towers areused.

9. Once a load has been applied to the tower, the screw jacks should be adjusted to so thateach is carrying an equal load. Use a wrench and adjust by hand until equal pressure isachieved.

12” and 15” GROUND SUPPORT TOWER - OPERATINGINSTRUCTIONS

JAMES

ENGINEERING

10. When rigging the chain hoist it is essential there are no twists in the chain. The hoist shouldbe rigged on the downstage or offstage side of the sleeve block (depending on alignment ofthe head block) so the moving chain will not rub against the structure.

11. All hoists must be run simultaneously so the rig always remains level.

12. Also, the motor must be rigged in such a way as to keep the motor and hook below the top ofthe sleeve block or plate. This enables the truss to be raised to the top of the tower, actuallytouching the underside of the roller beam and locking the lighting rig rigidly to the tower (becareful not to trap lighting or motor cables between the two). This does not apply to theSuper-truss sleeve plates where the wheels must not run over the end of the Tower truss.

13. Once the rig is at show trim a safety should be fitted. A 2000 - 3000 Kg (4000- 6614 LBS)truck ratchet strap or spanset is suitable (unless fireworks or pyro are used). This must befitted tightly around the top of the roller beam and the sleeve block. Any slack could result inthe safety being ineffective; in the event of a chain failure, the block would drop before anyweight would be taken.

14. Before raising truss the motor on each tower should be "bumped" until the load is evenlydistributed. (Subject to the rig design, number of towers and load distribution)

15. The stability of the tower is derived from the sleeving action of the sleeve block. Thereforethe base area of the whole structure, not just the tower base, should be evaluated whendetermining the height / depth ratio. The tower height should not exceed that stated in theStructural Engineers Report.

16. It is recommended to connect the towers together at the base with tube and clamps (2" dia.)and to form an 'X' brace between the towers using cables tensioned with a ratedcome-a-long. This will provide total rigidity of the structure which is particularly important ifany moving objects are flown or spot operators are used on the lighting truss.

17. When possible, once the rig is at full height additional safety cables should be attachedbetween the truss and the venue roof to provide a fail safe.

18. A full understanding of the principals employed in the systems design is necessary beforeuse. It is important that the weight and distribution of the entire load is known, and thatexperienced personnel, who are able to evaluate the circumstances, are used to operate thisequipment.

19. If the truss is being used outdoors Guy wires must be used; Please refer to "Guy Wire set"sheet.

GENERAL POINTS

1. The height of the base, hinge and head block must be added when figuring the total towerheight. The screw jacks in the base can add (4 1/2" (114mm) when they are fully extended.

-2 of 8-usergst2

2. It is recommended that you double check the total height available in each venue as theinformation provide could be incorrect and result in wasted time if towers are built the wrongheight.

3. The recommended kit comprises a multiple of section lengths that cover most of the heightvariations likely to be encountered. To alter these lengths without understanding theprincipals is inadvisable.A) The individual lengths are multiples of 30" (76.2 cm) in order to have a X2 capability. Twoof one length will always equal another.

B) This combination allows the hinge to fall just above the sleeve block regardless of stageheight when bases rest on the floor below the stage.

C) The total height of the tower above stage, is limited by the length of chain in your hoist; an80' (25m) chain enables a 15” X 15” tower of 32.8' (10 metres) above the stage which given a6.5' (2 metres) high stage accounts for the 40' (12 metres) total kit height. 12” X 12” towerhas a maximum height of 30’ (9 metres).

4. If a single truss with 2 towers ( Goalpost ) is specified, then a minimum of 2 outriggers pertower must be fitted perpendicular to the truss run.

5. If a single tower is specified, then 4 outriggers must be attached to the tower.

Figure showing theSleeve block fittedcorrectly onto theHinge and Towerbase.

1. Place the bases on the stage with the screw jacks completely off the floor. Connect 954mmhinge section to the top of each of the base. Take care to align the hinge so that it openstoward the truss.

2. Lift a sleeve block and slide it down over each hinge section so that the wheels are on the

stage around the base. In the case of Super-truss please refer to the "Super-truss userinstructions".

3. Lay out and connect the entire lighting truss to the desired shape incorporating the sleeveblocks with bases as previously assembled.

4. Position the rig on the stage and place 3/4" (19mm) plywood under each base.

5. Assemble remaining tower sections and the roller beams to desired height. Be sure thediagonals are on the same side and form a continuous pattern.

6.Lay the assembled tower on top of the lighting truss, resting the head block ona plywood pad (across the top of the lighting truss). Connect upper portion ofthe tower to the hinge

FigureShowingtowerliftingsystem

section. Be sure to align the tubes on the tower with the tubes on the hinge and that thediagonals are all facing the proper direction.

7. Attach a rigging rope (recommended length 30 meters (100ft) to the head block and run itover the top of the tower truss as shown in the figure below. If using a Tower Lifting Systemrefer to instructions and continue with step 13 after securing the Hinge pins, bolts or camlocs.

8. Check that entire rig is assembled and ALL truss pins with r clips, camlocs, or truss bolts aresecured correctly.

9. Raise tower by using 4 or 5 of the crew pulling on the rope plus 5 or 6 pushing up on thetower. Take care not to pull the tower over when it reaches its vertical position.

10. While continuing to hold tension on the rope insert and lock camloc or truss bolts in the hingesection.

11. After the camlocs, pins, or truss bolts are secure one person, equipped with a proper safetyharness, should climb the tower, untie the rope and run it over the roller beam wheels so theloose end reaches the stage.

12. Then, attach the hook of the chain hoist chain to the rope and pull the chain up the towerover the rollers and back down to the sleeve block. (The hoist should be on the onstage orupstage side of the sleeve block with the hook on the chain on the offstage or downstageside). The person on top of the tower will need to feed the hook over the rollers (take carenot to get fingers between the chain and rollers) and check to see that there are NO TWISTS in the chain.

13. Attach hoist to the bottom tubes of the truss with spansets or truss flying point. In the case ofSuper-truss, attach hoist and chain to the lifting points. The chain hook and hoist should berigged so they ride below the top of the truss. Be sure the hook of the hoist is carrying theload and that the hoist housing is not wedged between the gusset plates. Again, check to besure there are no twists in chain.

14. Screw down the jacks on the base until each of the four has an equal load (a torque wrenchis recommended). Check for level in both upstage/downstage and on/off stage directionsusing at least an 45 cm level. Do not apply any load to the motor until the jacks have beenscrewed down.

Continue to the next tower repeating steps 6 - 14.

15. After all towers have been erected and levelled, electrical cables should be run for the chainhoists.

16. Then 'bump' each motor until there is equal tension on all chains. When all personnel havebeen cleared raise the rig to a working height. HOISTS MUST ALWAYS BE RUNTOGETHER. IF FOR ANY REASON ONE SHOULD STOP THEY SHOULD ALL BESTOPPED.

-5 of 8-usergst2

17. Finish setting up the rig. Be sure no cables will be pinched between the sleeve block androller beam. All cables near the sleeve blocks should be tied to insure they can't becometangled.

18. When the rig has been raised to "show trim" a safety MUST be put on each tower. Thisshould be a spanset running from one side of the sleeve block, over the roller beam to theopposite side of the sleeve block. This must be fitted tightly around the top of the roller beamand the sleeve block. Any slack could result in the safety being ineffective.

METHOD B - With base on the floor below stage.

1. Without removing any panels from the temporary stage, lay out and connect lighting truss todesired shape incorporating the sleeve blocks as designed.

2. Roll the rig into its correct position and mark the stage decks to be removed. Now roll the rigleft or right so the decks can be removed.

3. After the decks have been removed roll the rig back to its correct position with the sleeveblocks over the holes in the stage.

4. Place the tower base on the floor under the stage.

5. Having measured the distance from the house floor to stage, join the appropriate length oftower to the hinge section so that the hinge will fall a few inches above the height of thesleeve block. Take care to ensure the hinge opens toward the truss.

6. With the hinge section on top, insert the pre-assembled tower and hinge section through thesleeve block and connect it to the base. Be sure the diagonals are properly located andform a continuous pattern.

7. Continue assemble as in Method A from Step 5 onwards.

8. As noted in "Safety Notes" on page 2. If the truss is to be used outdoors then the wholesystem must be restrained against wind loading on the truss; Please refer to "Guy Wire set"sheet.

Figure showing a Guy wire setup on one corner of the Towersystem. This must be used onall corners, if the Rig is usedoutdoors.

DISASSEMBLY

1. Climb each tower (with proper safety harness) and release the safety lock off.

2. Ensure all hoists run together and lower the rig to working height.

3. Raise lamp bars and remove any equipment that will stop the rig from being lowered to thestage deck. Do not remove motor cables.

4. When everything and everyone is clear, lower the rig to the deck.

5. Clear the rig of all other equipment and cables.

DO NOT DISCONNECT ANY CAMLOCS, PINS, OR TRUSS BOLTS, ANYWHERE ON THERIG !

6. Have someone climb (with proper safety harness) each tower and lower chains from towersusing the rigging rope, the person will need to guide and feed hook over the rollers (take carenot to get fingers between the chain and rollers). If using a Tower Lifting System refer to theinstructions for lowering towers.

7. After the chain has been lowered the rope should be tied to the top of tower and the personshould return to the stage.

8. With a crew standing ready on the rope and base of the tower remove the truss pins,camlocsor truss bolts that allow hinge to open.ONLY DISCONNECT THE HINGE CAMLOCS, PINS, OR TRUSS BOLTS ! !

9. Carefully lower the tower using the Tower erecting arm (optional).

10. Disconnect the tower from the hinge section and place on the floor. Continue to the nexttower repeating steps 6 - 10 until all towers have been lowered.

ALL Towers MUST be lowered before any truss is disassembled.

11. After all towers have been lowered disassemble the towers and rig. Put the hoists in theircases. Spansets and shackles can also be stored in the case.
