Who Is Protected By The JBL Warranty?
Your JBL Warranty protects the original owner and all subsequent owners so long as: A.) Your JBL product has
been purchased in the Continental United States, Hawaii or Alaska. (This Warranty does not apply to JBL prod-
ucts purchased elsewhere except for purchases by military outlets. Other purchasers should contact the local
JBL distributor for warranty information.); and B.) The original dated bill of sale is presented whenever warranty
service is required.
The JBL Limited Warranty on professional loudspeaker products (except for enclosures) remains in effect for
five years from the date of the first consumer purchase. JBL amplifiers are warranted for three years from the
date of original purchase. Enclosures and all other JBL products are warranted for two years from the date of
original purchase.
What Does The JBL Warranty Cover?
Except as specified below, your JBL Warranty covers all defects in material and workmanship. The following
are not covered: Damage caused by accident, misuse, abuse, product modification or neglect; damage occur-
ring during shipment; damage resulting from failure to follow instructions contained in your Instruction Manual;
damage resulting from the performance of repairs by someone not authorized by JBL; claims based upon any
misrepresentations by the seller; any JBL product on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or
removed.
Who Pays For What?
JBL will pay all labor and material expenses for all repairs covered by this warranty. Please be sure to save the
original shipping cartons because a charge will be made if replacement cartons are requested. Payment of
shipping charges is discussed in the next section of this warranty.
How To Obtain Warranty Performance?
If your JBL product ever needs service, write or telephone us at JBL Incorporated (Attn: Customer Service
Department), 8500 Balboa Boulevard, PO. Box 2200, Northridge, California 91329 (818/893-8411). We may
direct you to an authorized JBL Service Agency or ask you to send your unit to the factory for repair. Either
way, you'll need to present the original bill of sale to establish the date of purchase. Please do not ship your
JBL product to the factory without prior authorization. If transportation of your JBL product presents any unusu-
al difficulties, please advise us and we may make special arrangements with you. Otherwise, you are respon-
sible for transporting your product for repair or arranging for its transportation and for payment of any initial
shipping charges. However, we will pay the return shipping charges if repairs are covered by the warranty.

The JBL SoundFactor Install loudspeakers are supplied with built-in internal braces to be used with the
supplied forged shoulder eyebolts or other approved fastener. The system is designed to facilitate the sus-
pension of the loudspeaker by a qualified person familiar with rigging hardware and industry practices.
IMPORTANT! You must ensure that ALL installation procedures specified in this manual
are carefully followed. Improper installation may result in damage, injury or death.
The working load limit (WLL) of any JBL SoundFactor Install loudspeaker is maintained as long as no
more than one loudspeaker is suspended by a minimum of two primary suspension points with no addi-
tional load placed on the loudspeaker enclosure. The JBL SoundFactor Install loudspeakers are intend-
ed for SINGLE-BOX SUSPENSION ONLY. DO NOT HANG A SECOND SPEAKER FROM A SOUND-
FACTOR INSTALL SPEAKER.
