Scoreboard 1160 Manual: Mounting Hardware

MOUNTING HARDWARE

Four sets of mounting hardware are provided to attach the scoreboard to the posts.  Additional hardware sets are provided to attach the optional ID panels, if ordered.  A mounting hardware set consists of a steel angle bracket, two threaded rods, two washers, and two nuts.  Figure 6 shows an overhead cross section view and a side cross section view of the scoreboard attached to a post at a mounting point using the hardware.  A steel bracket is riveted to the scoreboard’s aluminum extrusion frame.  The bracket has two tapped holes.  The threaded rods screw into these tapped holes.  The washers and nuts are used to clamp the steel angle bracket against the steel post and hold the scoreboard in place.
