Inspection & Maintenance
Suspension systems are comprised of mechanical devices and, as such, they require regular inspection and rou-
tine maintenance to insure proper function ability. JBL SRX700F loudspeakers must be inspected for fatigue at
least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of all corners and load bearing surfaces for signs of
cracking, water damage, de-lamination, or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the loudspeaker
enclosure. Accessory rigging hardware provided with or for the JBL SRX700F loudspeakers must be inspected
for fatigue at least annually. The inspection shall include a visual survey of the material for signs of corrosion,
bending or any other condition that may decrease the strength of the fastener. Additionally, any eyebolts shall be
checked for possible spin-out of the enclosure. For all other hardware and fittings, refer to the hardware manufac-
turer's inspection and maintenance guidelines for process.
JBL is not responsible for the application of its products for any purpose or the misuse of this information for any

inspection and maintenance procedures or any other abuse.
Prior to suspending the system, an expert, trained and experienced in flying speaker systems should inspect all
rigging parts and components.

Safe Rigging
The JBL SRX700 suspendable version loudspeakers are supplied with built-in internal brackets. The system is
designed to facilitate the suspension of the loudspeaker by a qualified person familiar with rigging hardware and
industry practices. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death.
Working Load Limit
The working load limit (WLL) of any JBL SRX700 suspendable loudspeaker will be maintained as long as no
more than 136 kg (300 lb) is suspended by a minimum of TWO (2) PRIMARY SUSPENSION points (Track
Suspension), or 46 kg (100 lb) is suspended by TWO (2) of the SECONDARY SUSPENSION points (M10
Forged Shoulder Eyebolts).
Flying for Portable Applications (Primary Suspension)
For portable, temporary suspension of SRX700F models, order the JBL SRX-FF3. This kit includes three detach-
able fly-clips. For additional suspension components, contact a professional rigging hardware supplier.
WARNING
Before lifting any speaker using fly-clip attach-
ments, be certain that the latch mechanism of all
fly-clips is fully and properly engaged with the
track. An audible click will be heard.
