to the Installation Specifications drawing for your model to determine the center-to-center
distance of the poles.
Review the illustrations of the mounting hardware in
Drawing A-44412 , and then use the
following procedure for each section.
1. Loosely attach the inner and outer mounting clamps to the rear flanges of the
scoreboard’s horizontal frame members, using the
3
/
8
" bolts. Measure the beam spacing,
and position the clamps to fit on either side of the beams.
2. Insert a
1
/
2
" square nut into each mounting clamp. From the rear, screw a threaded rod
into each of the nuts.
3. Position the scoreboard at the front of the beams with the threaded rods extending from
the rear of the clamps, straddling the beams. Raise the scoreboard section to the desired
height.
4. Slide clamping angles over the ends of the rods and loosely install the washers and nuts.
5. Make final adjustments in the positioning of the scoreboard. Tighten the
3
/
8
" bolts in the
mounting clamps.
6. Make sure that the threaded rods are perpendicular to the scoreboard, and tighten all of
the
1
/
2
" nuts.

Mount the scoreboard as follows:
1. Use the mounting channel to determine which hole combination to use. Be sure to keep
the bolts as close to the beam as possible.
2. Using the mounting channel as a template, drill
9
/
16
" holes in the upper and lower rear
flange of the scoreboard where the supports will go.
3. Place square nuts inside the channel and thread the bolts through.
4. Lift the scoreboard into position with the bolts still in place.
5. Place mounting angles over each pair of bolts and secure with lockwashers and hex nuts.
6. After adjusting the scoreboard to the final desired position, tighten hex nuts firmly.
When mounting a scoreboard with back sheets, remove the back sheets in the areas above and
below the holes drilled in the upper and lower rear flange of the scoreboard. Be sure to replace the
back sheets after placing the square nuts inside the channel and threading the bolts through the
holes.
