Safety and Warnings
WARNING: Only ETC trained/authorized persons should operate ETC
Rigging systems. Operation by untrained persons may result in damage to
the system, other property damage, serious injury, or death.
WARNING: When operating a hoist, the user must have an unobstructed
view of the entire line set and its attached load. If the user’s view is
obstructed, a second person (spotter) MUST be used to assist the operator at
all times. The spotter must have an unobstructed view of all moving
components and be able to maintain clear communication with the operator
at all times.
If a problem arises while a hoist is moving (such as a mechanical issue or
interference from other objects) stop movement immediately by releasing
the move button or using the Emergency Stop button. If a spotter sees a
problem while a hoist is moving, the spotter must signal the user to stop
movement immediately.
WARNING: Do not exceed point load, Uniform Distributed Load (UDL), or
Working Load Limit (WLL) or Hoist Capacity for any line set. ETC motors must
only be used to move a maximum load equal to or less than the capacity of
your specific motor. Overloading the motor may result in damage to the
system, other property damage, serious injury, or death.
WARNING: ETC motors and the QuickTouch+ Mk2 controller should not be
operated by a user until installation and configuration have been completed
by an ETC trained/authorized technician. Only ETC trained/authorized
technicians are authorized to operate equipment during the installation and
configuration process.
WARNING: The QuickTouch+ Mk2 controller is designed for the operating
of theatrical equipment within the approved motor capacity only. This
equipment is not designed to lift, move, fly, suspend, or automate people or
domestic animals, and such use is strictly prohibited.
WARNING: Disconnect power before servicing this equipment.
WARNING: The load carrying device (e.g., batten) installed on the wire
rope cable shall conform to DIN 56950-1:2012 and CWA 15902-1:2008 and the
relevant documentation shall be provided by the installer.
