5. When installing the poles/I-beams that support the scoreboard, it is important to keep the
spacing accurate and the faces straight. If you are using beams, a good way to keep the faces
straight is to clamp a length of the 3” X 12’ angle to the first and middle beams and the middle
and third beams as they are placed, and if necessary, provide bracing until the concrete has
cured. The poles/beams should be allowed to stand overnight for the concrete to cure enough
to support the scoreboard.
6. Make sure the poles are level and plumb. If the face of a pole/beam (either at the top or bottom
of the mounting points of the scoreboard) is not straight, shims will be needed to continue the
installation.
7. The required dimensions for the footers vary from city to city and state to state depending on
the soil conditions, scoreboard size, and the building and sign codes for your area. Consult
with local building officials for the required pole sizes and footer construction regarding this
installation. A local architect, structural engineer, or sign installer may also be a source of
assistance
NOTE: CONSULT WITH LOCAL BUILDING CODE OFFICIALS REGARDING THE REQUIRED
DIMENSIONS/CONSTRUCTION OF THE FOOTERS, POLE/BEAM SIZES, AND OTHER
REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF THE
SCOREBOARD.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT MOUNT FLAT TO A WALL. A MINIMUM OF 18” CLEARANCE MUST BE
LEFT FOR ACCESS TO THE REAR OF THE UNIT, AS THE ELECTRONIC MODULE ACCESS
AND ALL POWER AND SIGNAL CABLE ACCESS DOORS ARE LOCATED ON THE BACK OF
THE SCOREBOARD. 24” CLEARANCE IS RECOMMENDED.
