Installation (continued)
14. Feed the first rope through the large hole on the left hoisting
bracket so that the knotted end makes contact with the
inside of the bracket. Then, feed the rope through the left
lifting bracket that was installed into the wall opening behind
the T-track (See Figure 6).
15. Repeat Step 14 for the second rope through the right and the
third rope through the center hoisting and lifting brackets
(See Figure 6).
NOTE:
At this point, all three ropes should be fed through the
hoisting and lifting brackets. There will be no rope placed
through the single hoisting bracket on the bottom of the
screen. On the rear (projector side) of the wall opening, a
person will be needed in the following steps to guide the
three ropes as the screen is being lifted.
WARNING: Do not lift the screen into place if the ropes
have not been fed through the hoisting and lifting
brackets.

16. Lift the screen assembly to a vertical position on the floor
parallel to the wall opening. On the projector side of the wall
opening, one person will be holding all three ropes without
slack and guiding the screen to an upright position. On the
audience side of the wall opening, to lift there should be one
person on the left side of the screen, one person on the right
and one person supporting the top center of the screen
frame at the center hoisting bracket. After this step is
completed the screen will be standing on the floor in front of
the wall opening (See Figure 7)
CAUTION: Do not allow the screen to twist or bow during
this step. Without careful lifting, there is potential to
crack, break or shatter the screen surface. Four people
must be used during this step.
