nuts, and lock washers. Refer to Figure 6 or
Drawing A-308051 in Appendix A. Each
section of the scoreboard attaches at the top
and the bottom to every beam.
Note: The threaded rods do not pass
through the flanges of the beams, but
instead run along both sides.
1. Using
3

" bolts, loosely attach the
inner and outer mounting clamps to
the rear flanges of the scoreboard.
Measure the beam spacing and position the clamps to fit on either side of the beams.
2. Insert a
1
/

" square nut into each mounting clamp. Screw a threaded rod into each of
the nuts from the rear.
3. Position the scoreboard at the front of the beams with the threaded rods extending
from the rear of the clamps, straddling the beams. Raise the scoreboard section to the
desired height.
4. Slide clip angles over the ends of the rods and loosely install the washers and nuts.
5. Make final adjustments in the positioning of the scoreboard. Tighten the
3

" bolts in
the mounting clamps.
6. Make sure that the threaded rods are perpendicular to the scoreboard, and tighten all
of the
