Bose.com.
When connecting a pullback cable, it is recommended to use either the center rigging point, both side rigging
points, or all three rigging points. The primary suspension points of the array frame should be as close as
possible to the center of gravity of the array to minimize the tension load in the pullback cable.
Use Bose Modeler software or the Bose Array Tool to determine if the pull back bracket is required and to
confirm that the pullback angle and working load is within acceptable safe limits. For more information on
Modeler and the Bose Array Tool, see pro.Bose.com.
Note: The Pull Back Bracket is not intended to provide primary structural support for the entire array!
To connect the pull back bracket to a full-range array module:
1. Assemble the array on the Array Frame or T-Bar Array Frame by following the instructions in this manual
and on pro.Bose.com.
2. Position the pull back bracket with the connection tabs facing up (toward the array). See Fig. 5.
