Page 13: Section 3

Mechanical installation consists of installing concrete footing and steel beams and mounting the
scoreboard and accompanying ad panels to the beams.
The column and footing size dimensions are to assist with estimating installation costs. They are
estimates only and are not intended for actual construction purposes. Be sure that the installation
complies with local building codes and is suitable for the particular soil and wind conditions. The
columns, footings, and all connection details must be designed and certified by a professional
engineer licensed to practice in the state of the scoreboard installation.

Larger scoreboard sections and message centers are shipped equipped with eyebolts used to
lift them. The eyebolts are located along the top of the cabinet for each scoreboard or

Daktronics strongly recommends using a spreader bar, or lifting bar, to lift the display.
Spreader bars ensure the force on the eyebolts remains straight up, minimizing lifting stress.
