Beamz truss are designed user friendly and offer a convenient assembly. Nevertheless working with a truss construction requires a certain professional
knowledge. Please do not attempt to work with truss if lack knowledge; contact a rigging specialist for assistance.
1.
Check the truss, conical couplers, conical spigots and safety springs for any damages. If any piece is damaged, do not use it and have it examined
by a specialist or replace it with an original Beamz product.
2.
Align the truss on an even surface.
3.
Check that you have all the necessary parts, including conical couplers, conical spigots, safety springs.
4.
Insert a conical half-way into a main chord and check that the drillings in the conical are aligned with the drilling in the main chord. The larger
hole in the conical must face outwards.
5.
Insert now a conical spigot with the narrow side down and push it through. For a tolerance free connection, use a copper hammer to drive the
pin completely in the cone of main chord.
Do not use a steel hammer as this may damage the conical spigots and truss. Avoid using unnecessary force when tapping on
conical spigots; this can also lead to damage! Joggling the end up and down and from side to side is more effective.
6.
Push a safety spring through the small hole of the conical spigot. This secures the pin so that it cannot fall out.
7.
Repeat this step for each main chord. You might have to turn the truss to insert all conical spigots and safety springs.
8.
Insert now the truss with the conical side into the next truss you want to add and secure the main chord of the second truss as well with all
conical spigots and safety springs.
Noted: If you are using a Beamz conical spigot with thread system (e.g. 182.383) then you can use the same methods as described above. Make
sure the nut is fixed on the screw, but not too tight, as it may damage your truss.
1.
Remove all the safety springs.
2.
Push truss pins from the inside to the outside and remove them. (If you use a copper hammer to drive the pin out, be careful as the truss pin
might fly off when you knock hard with the hammer)
3.
Loosen the connection and pull the truss apart.
4.
Collect and store all conical couplers, conical spigots, safety springs.
