Lifting the Display
The top of the display is equipped with two
5

" eyebolts for lifting the display. Lift the
display using a lifting bar. Use both eyebolts, and maintain a 90° lifting angle as shown in
. The eyebolts may fail if this is not done.
The eyebolts are designed to carry only the weight of the display cabinet. Do not lift the
mounting structure or other additional weight. Do not permanently support the display
with the eyebolts. Contact Daktronics with additional questions about display lifting.
Display Mounting
Securely mount each display to a suitable mounting structure provided by others.
Daktronics attached aluminum Z-extrusions to the back of the display for mounting. Use
all Z-extrusions when mounting the display.
Use appropriate hardware to support the weight of the display. Have a qualified
engineer inspect the mounting structure.
Note:
Daktronics is not responsible for mounting methods or the structural integrity of
support structures provided by others.
After installing the display, inspect the top and sides of the display for any openings
that may allow moisture to enter the display. Seal openings with silicone or another
waterproof sealant. Not sealing openings may void the warranty.
The eyebolts can either remain in the display or be removed without compromising the
water tightness and weather resistance of the display cabinet. If removed, Daktronics
recommends replacing eyebolts with

from filling the threads of the permanent hardware.
