Beka Hanging big book & art easel - Manual

Designed for classroom or home use, our Hanging Easel easily
hooks onto wall-mounted chalkboards, doors, closet frames, or
our optional Mounting Bar. In the classroom, the “hanger” en-
gages the frame of most wall mounted boards. The washer even
fits behind many flush-mounted frames. In school or at home,
the optional Mounting Bar adds flexibility.
Always check your easel for secure positioning before use!
Our Hanging Easel’s surface is a wipe-off markerboard, designed
for use with dry erase markers or “wipe-off” crayons. Please test
markers or crayons before general use.

Assembly (see photos):
1) Attach large washers to ends of hooks with 1” screws; attach
hooks to extension arms with 1 1/4” screws as shown.
2) With whiteboard surface down, position extension arms along
inside edge of whiteboard unit’s wood braces; position to provide
desired height. Orient hooks to project toward the wall when in
use (away from the whiteboard’s surface) and on “inside“ edge of
whiteboard unit as shown. Secure with 4 bolts, inserted from
outside edge toward the center; washers and wing nuts go on the
inside of the assembled product.
3) Push small ends of standoff rods into holes provided; standoff
rods hold Easel away from walls, creating an angle for use.
4) Attach Lip (4a) or Storage Tray (4b) with remaining bolts,
washers, and wing nuts. Orient lip pegs up to hold big books
open (position dowels closer to whiteboard surface for maximum
book stability—see below. Secure optional Mounting Bar if de-
sired; see instructions on the reverse side of this sheet.
5) Hang Easel, checking to insure Easel is securely positioned
before use. (Cord and a wood rod may be used to hang a paper
roll behind whiteboard - contact Beka for more information.)
6) To use “Big Books”, place front and back cover of book
against whiteboard surface. Position center spine between inner
pegs, pages projecting outward. Pages are free to be turned.
Captured front and back cover hold book in place during use.
