Section 1.1 – General:

1. Wall Mounting Brackets (minimum of 2) must be attached to the case regardless of the mounting method.
2. Screen should be lifted into position only by case end caps. Keep-case level by lifting case end caps simultaneously to prevent surface damage. Never attempt to lift the screen along its length.
3. When locating the viewing surface and checking clearance for the screen’s operation, remember surface is centered in the case. Handle the case carefully to protect its finish.
4. Regardless of the mounting method, the screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or even abusive pulling on the viewing surface will not cause case to  loosen or fall. The installer must ensure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and suitable for mounting surface chosen.
