K2 — Flying an Array Under K2-RIGBAR — Tools

Preparing the Blocks

Attach K2 on K2-CHARIOT by fully rotating the rear rigging arms of K2-CHARIOT and attaching a first K2. Position K2 on the K2-CHARIOT dolly. Secure the enclosure at the front using the LINK hole. Lift the rear of the enclosure and rotate the dolly's rear rigging arm to its upward position. Secure the enclosure using the LINK hole. Position another K2 on the first one — keep holding it by the handles until the front rigging arm is secured. While holding the handle, rotate the front rigging arm and secure it with both LINK pins. Slide the rear rigging arm and secure it with both pins, in the LINK and 10° holes. Make sure the automatic locking system button is unloaded — if pressed, pull to disengage the latch. Repeat the K2-CHARIOT attachment, positioning, and securing steps above until each block of four is complete — prepare all the blocks of four K2 necessary to build the array. On both sides of each block, remove the pin from its current angle hole. Position the pin at the chosen angle hole and slide the rigging arm until the pin goes in (the angle hole to choose depends on your Soundvision model). Press the lock button to lock the inter-enclosure angle.

Attaching to K2-RIGBAR

Hang the LA-SLING2T to the motor hook, making sure the chains are not twisted. Attach the bar to the sling using two 3.25 t WLL shackles, using the interior holes of the bar (the external holes are dedicated to safety slings). Position and attach the K2 enclosures under K2-RIGBAR, using the rear rigging middle hole. Raise the array to lock the inter-enclosure angles — do not stand behind the array, it swings backwards when raised. Remove the K2-CHARIOT: holding the dolly with one hand, remove the back pin on both sides, then remove the front pin on both sides.

Building the Array

Lift the array so another block of four K2 can be positioned under it — verify no yellow label is visible on both sides of the array. Attach the front rigging arm of the new block on both sides: rotate it to align its hole with the K2 rigging hole, pin it in the LINK hole of the flown array, then lower the flown array and secure it with the LINK pin (move the flown array back and forth with the enclosure handle if the pin won't insert). Lock the inter-enclosure angles of the block by raising the array — the lower K2 enclosures swing and the latches automatically lock. Attach the lower K2 enclosures' rear rigging arm to the back of the array: turn the wheels inside the dolly, pull back the bottom enclosures while lowering the array until it contacts the top enclosure of the block, slide the arm upward and secure with the pin using the LINK hole, position the pin at the entrance of the chosen angle hole and slide the arm until the pin goes in, then press the lock button. Raise the array to lock the inter-enclosure angle — the latches automatically lock; verify the rear rigging arms are secured by pins and no yellow label is visible on the front. Remove the K2-CHARIOT: holding the dolly with one hand, remove the back pin on both sides, then remove the front pin on both sides. Repeat the lift-and-attach sequence above (lifting the array, then attaching the next block of four K2 to the bottom) until the array is complete. If necessary, implement a pullback with K2-RIGBAR: hang the LA-SLING2T to the hook making sure the chains are not twisted, attach the bar to the sling using two 3.25 t WLL shackles through the interior holes (using either a two-leg bridle sling with a pickup point higher than the LA-SLING2T, or two separate safety slings through the external holes), attach the K2-RIGBAR to the bottom enclosure using the rear rigging bottom hole (do not use the rear rigging middle hole), then adjust the height of the pickup point so the rear pick-up point is never higher than the front one and the chains stay as vertical as possible. Raise the array to its final trim height.
