HANGING THE SCOREBOARD FROM THE CEILING
Carefully remove the scoreboard from its packaging, making
sure not to pry against or cut into the cabinet. Inspect each unit
for shipping damage according to the instructions on page 6.
1 /
If eye bolts, cables, or chains are to be used to suspend the
scoreboard, ensure that they are capable of supporting the
weight of the scoreboard. Choose one of the following methods
to get the scoreboard into place:
Connect the cables or chains you will use to suspend the score-
board to the hanging brackets on top of the scoreboard cabinet
using “C” clips or clevises. Connect the strap, cable, or chain you
will use to lift the scoreboard to the two outside mounting holes
in the top rear ange.
OR
Connect the cables or chains you will use to suspend the score-
board to the hanging brackets on top of the scoreboard cabinet
using “C” clips or clevises. Connect the strap, cable, or chain you
will use to lift the scoreboard to the same “C” clips or clevises.
3 /
If the scoreboard will be against the lift during lifting, place card-
board or foam between the lift and scoreboard to protect the face
of the scoreboard. Lift the scorbeoard into place. Check clearance
during lift. Connect the suspension system and lower the score-
board until its weight is on the suspension system and disconnect
the lifting cables from the scoreboard.
4 /
Place a level in the top channel of the scoreboard cabinet to see if
adjustments need to be made.
NOTE: It is recommended that the cables will be used to per-
manently suspend the scoreboard be attached to the ceiling
structure first, then to the scoreboard’s hanging brackets after
it is lifted into position using a lifting device.
