When preparing to fly a projector, a technician finds that two of the six mounting bolts for the flyware/mount are stripped. What SHOULD the technician do?
A.
Fly the projector and install additional safety cables
B.
Remove the projector until the mount can be repaired
C.
Securely tighten the four working bolts and fly the projector
D.
Use gaff tape to secure the mount around the stripped bolts
Safety is paramount in rigging and flying equipment. A compromised mount (such as one with stripped bolts) must not be used. The proper procedure is to remove the projector and repair or replace the mounting hardware. AVIXA guidelines and industry safety codes emphasize that rigged equipment must be structurally sound.
