C) With Hooks fully extended, attach one end of MOUNTING CHAIN to one of the Top Mounting Hooks. Pull the Chain tight to Pole and then attach shortest link to corresponding Top Hook. (To keep chain from being jammed by the hook, place link on outside of the Hook.) Spin Wing Nuts down evenly, enough to keep the Assembly in place.
D) Repeat process for Bottom Hooks and Chains.
E) Hand tighten all Wing Nuts evenly, ensuring Mounting Bracket Assembly is difficult to rotate on the Pole. Then "tap" the chain sharply to remove any slack and fully re-tighten all Wing Nuts.

IMPORTANT: HAND TIGHTEN ONLY. EXCESS TIGHTENING MAY CAUSE HOOK ENDS TO SPREAD.

Attach A8/A12 Speaker and Speaker Mounting Bracket to the Adjustable Mounting Bracket

A) Attach ADJUSTABLE MOUNTING BRACKET to the A-Series SPEAKER MOUNTING BRACKET by using 4 (#6) Mounting Screws to create the SPEAKER MOUNTING ASSEMBLY. Apply THREAD LOCKING COMPOUND on each of the #6 screws.
B) Adhere the 2 Self-Adhesive Rubber Disks to the Speaker Cabinet as shown below. Partially screw into the speaker cabinet the 2 Speaker Mounting Knobs, then slide the A-Series Loudspeaker in through the slots of the Speaker Mounting Assembly and fully tighten the Mounting Knobs.

Attach Speaker Mounting Assembly to Stationary Mounting Bracket

A) Place Speaker Mounting Assembly on the Stationary Mounting Assembly by putting the FRONT TABS of Speaker Assembly into the two FRONT CATCH slots of the Mounting Assembly (see INSET 1).
B) With both Front Tabs hooked securely into both Front Catch slots, gently rotate Speaker Assembly back until both REAR TABS "snap" into both REAR CATCH slots (see INSET 2). When properly engaged, this will provide TEMPORARY support for the Speaker Assembly. DO NOT LEAVE SPEAKER IN THIS POSITION WITHOUT COMPLETING THE INSTALL PROCEDURES SHOWN WITHIN SECTION 5.

IMPORTANT: BE SURE THAT ALL TABS AND CATCH SLOTS ARE PROPERLY ENGAGED BEFORE LETTING GO OF THE SPEAKER ASSEMBLY. SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT WITH IMPROPER CONNECTIONS.

Speaker Assembly Angle Adjustment and Locking Procedure

A) Add a drop of THREAD LOCKING COMPOUND to the 2 (#10) AXLE SCREWS and loosely insert them in both sides of Stationary Mounting Bracket and into the Speaker Assembly Bracket. This will provide safe retention of Speaker Assembly.
B) Pinch inward both sides of the ANGLE ADJUSTMENT WINGS on the Mounting Bracket to rotate the Speaker Assembly to desired angle. Front Tabs on each side will then engage ADJUST ANGLE HOLES on the Mounting Assembly.
C) Once angle is selected, apply Thread Locking Compound and insert 2 (#10) ADJUST SCREWS into Adjustment Angle Holes directly below the Tab/Holes selected.
D) Finally, tighten all four Screws SECURELY.

IMPORTANT: ALL FOUR (2 AXLE & 2 ADJUST) SCREWS MUST BE IN PLACE AND FULLY TIGHTENED FOR ASSEMBLY TO BE SAFELY SECURED.
