Installation (continued)

14.  Feed the first rope through the large hole on the left hoisting 

bracket so that the knotted end makes contact with the 
inside of the bracket. Then, feed the rope through the left 
lifting bracket that was installed into the wall opening behind 
the T-track (See Figure 6).

15.  Repeat Step 14 for the second rope through the right and the 

third rope through the center hoisting and lifting brackets 
(See Figure 6).

NOTE:

 At this point, all three ropes should be fed through the 

hoisting and lifting brackets. There will be no rope placed 
through the single hoisting bracket on the bottom of the 
screen. On the rear (projector side) of the wall opening, a 
person will be needed in the following steps to guide the 
three ropes as the screen is being lifted.

WARNING: Do not lift the screen into place if the ropes 
have not been fed through the hoisting and lifting 
brackets.

16.  Lift the screen assembly to a vertical position on the floor 

parallel to the wall opening. On the projector side of the wall 
opening, one person will be holding all three ropes without 
slack and guiding the screen to an upright position. On the 
audience side of the wall opening, to lift there should be one 
person on the left side of the screen, one person on the right 
and one person supporting the top center of the screen 
frame at the center hoisting bracket. After this step is 
completed the screen will be standing on the floor in front of 
the wall opening (See Figure 7)

CAUTION: Do not allow the screen to twist or bow during 
this step. Without careful lifting, there is potential to 
crack, break or shatter the screen surface. Four people 
must be used during this step.
