DISASSEMBLING THE PLATFORM SYSTEM
1. To remove the drapery from a backdrop:
a. “Peel” the drapery away from the crossbar.
b. Fold the drapery carefully to minimize
wrinkling in storage.
An optional carrying case can be purchased
from Wenger to store the drapery.
c. Press the release button on each upright,
and lift the backdrop support from the guard
rail.
2. Remove any stairways by lifting the outer end
(lowest step) until the hook tube assembly is
free of the stage.
3. Remove any drapery enclosures by reversing
the installation procedure. See “Installing
Drapery Enclusures” on page 39.
Don’t remove the clips from the drapery
unless they have to be relocated. Keeping
the clips on the drapery prevents lossing
them and eliminates the need to store
separately.
If the clips remain attached to the platform
frame they will interfere with storage of the
platform units.
Carefully fold the drapery to minimize wrinkling.
Special drapery hangers are available from
Wenger.
4. Remove any guard rails by unscrewing the
handles.
Store the guard rails on the (optional) guard rail
storage cart.
5. Release the unit-to-unit clamps on the
underside of adjacent same-height platforms.
See “Setting up Individual Platform Units” on
page 36.
6. Depress the foot pedal with your left foot, and
lift the deck to its vertical position. Be sure it is
resting in both saddles, then release the pedal.
Unlock the caster brakes.
Do not pull up on the deck too quickly, or the
unit could overturn.
!
CAUTION
Unit can overturn if
pedal is released
before deck rests in
saddles.
!
CAUTION
Unit can overturn if
deck is lifted too
quickly.
