Daktronics BA-1518 Generation IV Multi-Section Outdoor LED Scoreboard - Manual (Page 56)

Review the illustrations of the mounting hardware in Drawing A-44412, and then
follow this procedure for each section:
1. Using the 3 / 8 " bolts, loosely attach the inner and outer mounting clamps to
the rear flanges of the scoreboard’s horizontal frame members. Measure the
beam spacing and position the clamps to fit on either side of the beams.
2. Insert a
1
/
2
" square nut into each mounting clamp. From the rear, screw a
threaded rod into each of the nuts, as shown in Figure 4.
3. Position the scoreboard in front of the beams with the threaded rods
extending from the rear of the clamps, straddling the beams. Raise the
scoreboard section to the desired height.
4. Slide clamping angles over the ends of the rods and loosely install the
washers and nuts.
5. Make final adjustments in the positioning of the scoreboard. Tighten the 3 / 8 "
bolts in the mounting clamps.
6. Make sure that the threaded rods are perpendicular to the scoreboard and
tighten all of the
1
/
2
" nuts.
7. Model BA-3718-11 requires the use of mounting straps. Refer to Drawing
A-114415 for installation instructions.
