10.1 Changeable Team Name Captions
Reference Drawing:
Caption Changing ....................................................... Drawing A-44549
The team name caption kit contains hardware for one caption only and consists of an upper
caption retainer, a lower caption retainer, a changeable caption panel and screws. The standard
HOME and GUEST captions are applied directly to the face of the scoreboard. Team name
captions are on changeable panels that fit into retainers mounted above and below the HOME and
GUEST captions. If retainers are not already present on your scoreboard, attach the retainers
included with the caption kit as shown on
Drawing A-44549 .
To install a changeable panel:
1. Insert the top of the panel into the upper retainer.
2. Lift the panel all the way up into the retainer.
3. Insert the bottom of the panel into the lower retainer.
Reverse this procedure to remove the caption panel.
An optional caption changer is available for installing and removing panels from the ground. Each
caption panel is punched with keyholes. Screw heads on the crossbar of the caption changer fit
into the keyholes. The caption changer pole is extendable, with a ring tightener to adjust the
length. Loosen the ring to extend the pole to the desired length; tighten the ring for pole use.
CAUTION
Note: The aluminum caption changer can conduct electricity. Do not use it within 20-
feet of power lines.
Be careful when using the caption changer in high or gusting winds. Wind may catch the
panel and unhook it from the changer. The surface area of the caption panel could also act
as a sail, making it difficult to maintain a grip on the pole. Hold the pole tightly, and be
careful to maintain your balance when using the caption changer in windy situations.
