MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 

This section of the manual describes assembling and installing the four-sided 
scoreboard display, in its standard configuration.  If your scoreboard project includes 
customizations with additional ID panels or requires other special mounting 
considerations, please contact the factory to request details specific to your project.  If 
you have unique requirements and would like to change the position or size of our 
mounting hardware to accommodate them, we can probably help you out.  But we need 
to find out BEFORE we start building the cabinets.  Let your scoreboard sales rep know 
about any special needs as early in the process as possible. 

Additional Materials and Tools 

Typically a center-hung scoreboard assembly is installed on a hoist system, which is 
attached to a support beam in the building's ceiling.  The assembly may be connected 
to the hoist via chains, cables, rods, etc.  Rather than attempting to describe all possible 
options for a support mechanism, this document assumes the installer will provide a 
method for hanging the scoreboard assembly that can handle the weight of all 
components and will make servicing convenient. 

In addition to the support system, the installer will need a 9/16-inch SAE wrench or 
socket set to tighten the assembly bolts and will need people to provide support for the 
cabinets and corners as the pieces are aligned.  This document also assumes the 
installer has access to tools and skills for working at the heights required for installing 
the support system, lifting the scoreboard assembly, and making final connections. 
 
Electro-Mech recommends you find a reputable sign installer with the equipment and 
experience to handle the work mentioned above.  If you are unfamiliar with sign 
installers in your area, contact your scoreboard sales rep for recommendations.
