Installation (continued)

18.  Feed the first rope (N) through the large hole on the audience 

left hoisting bracket (H) so that the knotted end makes 
contact with the inside of the bracket. Then, feed the rope (N) 
through the audience left lifting bracket (D) that was installed 
into the wall opening behind the T-track (B) (See Figure 6).

19.  Repeat for the second rope (N) through the center and the 

third rope (N) through the audience right hoisting (H) and 
lifting brackets (D) (See Figure 6).

 

NOTE:

 At this point, all three ropes (N) should be fed through 

the hoisting (H) and lifting brackets (D). There will be no rope 
(N) placed through the single hoisting bracket (H) 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 (N) as the screen is being lifted.

 

WARNING: Screen must be positioned close to, but not 
touching, the wall before lifting. Do not lift the screen into 
place if the ropes have not been fed through the hoisting 
(H) and lifting brackets (D).

20. 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 (N) 
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 (H). 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.
