critical factors to consider. Consult
the Shop Drawing, which is included
with the display.
2.3 Display Mounting
To maintain the structural integrity
of the display cabinet, keep a
90-degree angle between the cabinet
and the lifting method.
If damage occurs because of
improper lifting procedures, the warranty will be void.
General Mounting Procedure
1. Lift the display into position on the support structure,
following the example in Figure 3.
Note: Do not attempt to permanently support the
display by the eyebolts.
2. Weld or use 1/2" grade-5 (or stronger) bolts and
hardware to secure ALL of the clip angles to the support
structure as shown in the Shop Drawing which is
included with the display.
Note: Alternative mounting methods are acceptable as
long as all bolt locations are used.
3. Refer to Section 3 for power routing and to the appropriate communication manual for signal
connections to the display.
4. After installation is complete, carefully inspect the display for any holes that may allow water to seep into
the display and seal any openings with silicone.
If the eyebolts on the top of the display were removed, plug the holes with bolts and the rubber-sealing
washer that was removed with the eyebolt unless an overhead structure protects the area.
