Model BA-2018
Figure 5
shows the spacing of the horizontal beams for the
BA-2018. The horizontal beams themselves must have a
vertical dimension (height) of 4
"
. The first horizontal beam
is level with the bottom of the scoreboard and is considered
the zero mark for measuring the other two horizontal
beams. The second horizontal beam is at 156
" (measuring
to the top of the horizontal beam) and will be flush with the
top of the scoreboard. Refer to Drawing B-238121 for
location of the clip angles.
3.4 Lifting the Scoreboard

Large scoreboard sections and message centers are shipped equipped with eyebolts
that are used to lift the displays. The eyebolts are located along the top of the cabinet
for each scoreboard or scoreboard section.
Note: Daktronics strongly recommends using a spreader bar, or lifting bar, to lift the
display .
Using a spreader bar ensures that the force on the eyebolts is straight up, minimizing
lifting stress. Lifting methods are shown in the following illustration and in
Drawing A-44548 .
