Product Description: The Yard Master Manual Tension is a retractable pull-down outdoor projector screen for wall and patio installations that brings media room quality to your outdoor spaces. Its sleek aluminum casing beautifully accessorizes your backyard, patio, pool deck or anywhere a gathering for evening movie time is appropriate.
Please be sure to read the precautions and operating instructions carefully before operating the screen. Proper maintenance and handling will ensure a longer lifespan of the product.

Outdoor Projection Screen Disclaimer

Never leave your projection screen out and exposed to direct sunlight. Regardless of screen brand, prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation degrades the chemical bonds causing the material to eventually decompose. Photo degradation first causes the material to lose its theater- grade reflective qualities. Eventually nature will destroy even synthetic materials. For this reason, the Yard Master Manual Tension has a retractable design that allows the material to be drawn up into its protective casing to be shielded from solar radiation.

Care & Use Instructions

• Dust, dirt, and scratches on the projection surface will affect the picture quality, please take note of the points below to prevent that from occurring:
  1. Do not touch the projection surface with your hands.
  2. Do not write or draw on the projection surface.
  3. Do not use fingers or sharp objects to point on the projection surface; this will damage the screen material.
  4. Use a soft-damp cloth to clean the projection surface; do not use chemical cleaning agents or alcohol.
  5. Use clean water when dampening the cleaning cloth and do not rub against the material to clean it.
• When the screen is operated, it may cause slight waves on the left/right black masking border ends. If this happens, open the screen to its full extent (not passed the STOP point) to allow the material to smooth out for a few hours.
• To avoid damage and injury, the screen should only be operated by adults.

Screen Operation

CAUTION: Do not let go of the handle when retracting the screen to avoid damage from slamming up.

Note: Always pull the screen down or let it up in a 90-degree vertical angle. Do not allow the screen to touch the screen case when the screen goes up or comes down to avoid damaging the screen material’s projection surface.

1. Pull the screen down from the lanyard or the handle only at a 90-degree angle. NEVER attempt to pull the screen down by the surface or touch the screen, as it will damage the screen and void the warranty. Pull straight down and allow the screen to come up to lock into the desired position.
   TIP: Pull the screen material down to its full extent (not passed the stop label) to ensure maximum flatness.
   DO NOT try to pull the screen beyond the STOP label position, as this may cause the screen material to come off the roller.

2. To retract the screen, simply pull the screen downward from the handle or lanyard more than 2 inches (5cm) and retract the screen back releasing it up gently. DO NOT let go of the handle until fully retracted in the housing.

NOTE: If the screen does not unlock, carefully pull the screen straight down with a little force. Always pull the screen down at a 90-degree angle.

ATTENTION: Always retract the screen when no longer use, to avoid the screen material from deforming.

Securing the weight bar location

1. Pull the screen down until you have reached the desired location. (Suggestion: Ensure that the surface is flat)
2. Mark the drill-hole area of where the screw is to be installed, then retract the screen.
3. Drill the hole and insert an M10 Anchor (C), secure it with a M5x50 Screw (C). Allow a 1-inch gap between the wall and screw head to allow room for the weight bar and pull handle to release freely.
4. Pull the screen down and secure it to the screw location.
5. Make any adjustments if there are any deviations.

Note: Remove the screw when not in use any longer to avoid an accident.
