  • Page 7: Important Safeguards

    Important Safeguards • Please read and understand the installation instructions before beginning the installation process. • Do not drop the control equipment or allow it to get wet. • Do not disassemble the control equipment or electronic controls of the display; failure to follow this safeguard will make the warranty null and void.

  • Page 9: Mechanical Installation

    The installer is responsible for ensuring the mounting structure and hardware are built per the stamped engineering drawings and are capable of supporting the display. Daktronics is not responsible for display mounting decisions made by others.

  • Page 10: Display Preparation

    Display or Display Section Lifting Single Section Daktronics equips each section with two lift lugs for lifting the sections into position. To expose these lift lugs, use the -inch hex security bit (Daktronics part number TH-1170) supplied in the toolkit to release all beverage shroud latches and open the beverage shroud.

  • Page 11: Weight Approximations

    The beverage shrouds should be removed prior to lifting the sections to prevent damage to the shrouding. Lifting bar The lift lugs should be located one to two module lifting bar widths inward, depending on the section size, from Eyebolt strength each end of the section.
