WALL MOUNTING 1. Select fasteners of proper type for wall or ceiling involved. 2. Insert fasteners through proper openings provided in back side of end caps. 3. Attach screen securely to studding or other solid surface - never to plaster only. 4. MAKE SURE SCREEN IS MOUNTED LEVEL. CEILING MOUNTING 1. Heavy screw hooks may be installed into wood joists. Other types of hooks or chain may be used for other ceilings or for stage installations. 2. Insert hooks or chain through proper openings provided in sides of end caps. Screen must hang so that flat back of case is perpendicular to floor. 3. MAKE SURE SCREEN IS MOUNTED LEVEL. TO OPEN SCREEN Pull down on pull bail until desired picture area is obtained. Lock into position as on a window shade. Be sure surface is locked before releasing. TO RE-ROLL YOUR PICTURE SURFACE The Model C operates on the same principle as a window shade. Pull down about 4 inches to disengage the locking dog and start the fabric up firmly and quickly. Large picture surfaces are heavy and will start up too slowly to prevent the locking dog from catching unless help is provided, so keep picture surface moving briskly. Should the locking dog catch, pull the picture surface down about 4 inches and start the surface up rapidly. However, do not permit the picture surface to roll up uncontrolled, particularly the last few feet. Allowing the bottom slat to strike the case uncontrolled may result in severe damage to your screen. Use the cord provided for control.

PROTECT YOUR SCREEN Before re-rolling surface into case, examine both front and back of surface to be sure they are free of foreign matter. 1 SUGGESTED METHODS OF INSTALLATION FOR WALL WALL MOUNTED CEILING HANGING FOR CEILING PICTURE SURFACE PICTURE SURFACE PICTURE SURFACE USE No. 6 BRACKETS TO HANG BEHIND BEAM OR VALANCE PICTURE SURFACE CONCEALED (ALLOW ROOM FOR ACCESS) MODEL C EXCLUSIVE FEATURES · · · · · · · Easily Installed Multi-Purpose End Caps Form Sturdy Brackets for Wall/Ceiling Installation Aluminum Slat Saddle Distributes Uniform Tension on Picture Surface Heavy Duty Grooved Metal Roller Assures Permanent Fastening of Picture Surface Nylon and Ball Bearing Roller Mounting Handsome, Rugged, Powder Coated Steel Case Floor Stand Accessory Floating Mounting Brackets Ceiling Trim Kit (optional at extra cost) 2 TO USE WITH PORTABLE FLOOR STAND NOTE: CAN ONLY BE USED WITH FLOOR MODEL C.
