CEILING MOUNT
Professional mounting techniques should be used. Stewart Filmscreen cannot be liable for
substandard or faulty installations.
Failure to comply with the instructions and guidance
contained in this manual may result in voiding the warranty.
1.
Use a magnetic stud finder, or similar appropriate
means, to identify the location of solid ceiling joists. If
the joists or rafters are parallel to the screen case,
blocking is required between structural elements.
2.
Use a level or other straight edge to properly align both
ceiling mounts as straight as possible. Make certain
that both wall mounts are within 6 inches from either
edge of the case. This will prevent the case from tilting
to either side.
3.
Screw the ceiling brackets into the joists (see Figure
14). Ensure the screws are mounted to solid wood and
that both ceiling brackets are properly aligned to each
other.
4.
Lift the case up to the ceiling and into the mounting
brackets. Gently slide case backwards, up, and into
the ceiling bracket to engage and lock in place (see
Figure 15).
5.
Lastly, add the ¼
”-20 set screw onto the ceiling mount
to prevent unwanted movement.
6.
For the minimum clearance dimensions, (see figure
16).

CAUTION
During installation, do not place the unit on an unstable cart, stand, table or ladder.

secure the screen.
