Figure 5: Install Stitch Bolts
3. Ensure the alignment tabs are flush
and even with each other. Refer to
Figure 6 . Tighten the stitch bolts to
lock the tabs into place.
4. Cut the zip ties and verify that the
bolt assemblies slide freely.
5. Slide the bolt assemblies to the
nearest stud lines.
6. Use a 4' level on top of the frame to
level the frame while positioning it.
7. Repeat Steps 5–7 in Install First Frame
(p.1) .
8. Repeat Steps 1–7 until the first row is
fully installed.
9. Use a string line across the installed bottom row and adjust the
Z-position of the frames so the frame faces are all aligned to the string.
Verify the frame faces are level vertically as they are adjusted for the
string line.
Install Remaining Frames
1. Position the left frame in the next row on top of the first installed frame.
Ensure the alignment tabs are flush and properly aligned. The mid
verticals set the X- and Y-axis positions of the frame.

Plumb/Level Entire Display
1. Identify the wall high spot. Use a level on the face of the frame column
while adjusting the Z-position of the frame column. If a high spot cannot
be identified, start with the center-most frame column in the display.
2. Use the frame alignment tabs closest to the display corners and secure
a string line in an X pattern. Refer to Figure 11 .
Figure 11: Secure String Line
3. Identify frame high points along the string line. Adjust the Z-position
toward the wall at the high points if the frames were not previously
Z-adjusted. If the high-point frame was previously Z-adjusted, adjust the
surrounding frames away from the wall to make the display face level
and plumb.
4. Tighten down the TEK screws to lock the frame Z-positions into place.
5. Adjust the frame Z-positions until the faces are aligned to the string and
the frame faces are plumb and level to each other.
