Scoreboard 1341 Manual: Mounting Hardware

MOUNTING HARDWARE

Four sets of mounting hardware are provided to attach the scoreboard at these points.  Additional hardware sets are provided to attach the optional top sponsor panels, if ordered.  A single set of mounting hardware for the scoreboard consists of an aluminum angle bracket, two threaded rods, two washers, and two nuts.  A single set of mounting hardware for an optional top sponsor panel consists of an aluminum angle bracket, two threaded rods, four washers, and four nuts.  Figure 5 shows an overhead cross section view and a side cross section view of the scoreboard attached to a post at a mounting point.  A steel bar is riveted inside the scoreboard’s aluminum extrusion frame.  The bar has two tapped holes.  The threaded rods screw into these tapped holes.  The washers and nuts are used to clamp the aluminum angle bracket against the steel post and hold the scoreboard in place.
