would be serious damage to the scoreboard. If you must use this method, ensure a minimum angle
between the chain and scoreboard of at least 45°.
K Note: Daktronics assumes no liability for scoreboard damage resulting from incorrect
setup or incorrect lifting methods.
Eyebolts are intended for lifting only. Do not attempt to permanently support the display by the
eyebolts.
In typical multi-section installations, the lower scoreboard section is installed first and secured to the
support beams, and then the upper section is placed atop or above the lower section and attached to the
beams. There may be cables extending from the top of the lower section. Guide these cables into the
hole in the bottom of the upper section for later connection.
If the lift eyebolts are removed, plug the holes with bolts and the rubber sealing washers that were
removed with the eyebolts. Apply silicone or another waterproof sealant to the eyebolt openings.
Inspect the top and sides of the display for any other holes or openings that may allow moisture to
enter the display, and plug and seal those openings as well.

Drawing A-44412 shows the hardware used for mounting the scoreboard to the beams. Each
section of the scoreboard attaches at the top and the bottom to all the beams. Drawing A-44412
also shows top and side views of the scoreboard secured to the beams. Note that the threaded rods
do not pass through the flanges of the beams, but instead run along both sides of each beam. Refer
