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 the 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 pole is extendable, with a ring tightener. 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.
