screen surface carefully. If fabric does not hang flat, loosen
the nuts on the eyebolts of the black clamps. Adjust the
wingnuts to pull or relax the fabric as needed. Several clamp
heights may be adjusted depending on the severity of the
hang. After adjustment, tighten the nuts against the
underside of the frame. Caution stage hands and others to
check area before lowering screen. Do not bump screen with
