The roof of the facility and any structures fabricated for suspending the scoreboard, as well as
the suspension cable slings, must be designed by or inspected and approved by a qualified
engineer. Drawing A-181903 and Drawing A-181935 in Appendix E show recommended
component specifications of cable slings (these are not typically provided by Daktronics).

Note: Refer to Drawing A-268195 for BB-2146 and BB-2147 models.


If the scoreboard is to be static mounted, that is, suspended from fixed cables without a hoist:

1. Attach the cables to the four lift tubes on the corner braces of the frame. The cables

may be connected together to make two attachment points, or all four cables may
attach to the roof trusses or the mounting structure.

2. Hang the top ends of the cables over the sides of the scoreboard to get them out of the

way yet keep them accessible when hooking up.

3. Lift the scoreboard using an appropriate means, such as a chain hoist, to the correct

suspension height.

4. Attach the top ends of the cables to the previously prepared mounting points.
5. Remove the temporary lifting apparatus and level the scoreboard by adjusting the

turnbuckles built into the slings.
