1.3 Removing the Screen
The screen is held on by four spring-loaded clips. When the display is in a wall, insert a thin object
between the screens to bring out the built-in screen handles. Don't lift the display by the screen. When
you place the displays in a wall, use the external hand grips or the internal struts for lifting.
The screen is held on with four spring-loaded latches,
one near each corner.
To remove the screen from a single display
When it is standing alone, pull out sharply at the
four corners. You only need to pull out about one inch
to release the latch. The display is relatively light (68
lbs.), and four latches together are strong. It may be
necessary to have someone hold the back of the dis-
play as you pull forward.
CAUTION
Do not twist the screen as you remove it.
Twisting the screen may break the spring-
loaded latches. Pull straight forward. If one of
the latches still holds a corner, do not twist
the screen to get it loose.fio
To remove the screen from display in a wall
On Wildcats with glass screens, use a suction cup
to pull at the four corners of the glass, one corner at a
time. Pull out sharply just enough to release the
spring latch, about one inch or 25 mm.
On some Wildcats, you can use the built-in tabs.
The tabs are small nylon handles, one on each side of
the screen.
Use the screen puller tool, shown here. Slide the
tool between the screens and hook the tab to retrieve
it. The tab has points to hook or push to get it to turn
out. If you don't have the screen pullers, you can use
anything thin and plastic, such as a credit card.
You need to pull on the correct tabs. There will be
two tabs between each pair of screens. To pull a
screen, use the upper tab on the right side and the
lower tab on the left. Remember: High-right, Low-
left.
Pull sharply forward on the tabs. You may have to
put something, such as a tie-wrap or the screen puller

tool, through the hole in the tab to get a good grip on
it. Be careful not to scratch the screen.
Do not twist the screen as you remove it. If one of
the latches still holds a corner, do not twist the screen
to get it loose.
To replace the screen
, line up the screen with the four corners of the
chassis. Use the heel of your hand to press sharply at
each corner, snapping the latches in place.
Screen tethers
Some installations use wire tethers on the screen
for safety. The wires hold the screen on both sides.
You can still remove the screen and lower it to work
inside, and usually that is enough.
If you have to remove the screen completely,
remove the tethers from the chassis end and leave the
tethers attached the screens. The tethers loop around
a threaded stud on the chassis. The stud has a nylock
nut. The loop at this end of the tether is large enough
to come off over the nut.
When you replace screens like this, loop the wire
over the stud again, and do not tighten the nut.
Handling the displays
The display has two hand grips, one on each side.
Do not lift the display by the screen.
When the screen is off, you can use the two braces
inside, near the upper corners. These are handy when
lifting displays into a wall.
