Daktronics Tuff Sport& ColorSmart FourSided Indoor LED Scoreboards - Manual (Page 16)

10 Mechanical Installation
If the scoreboard is to be suspended from a hoist:
1. Attach the cable sling to the four lift tubes on the corner braces of the frame.
2. Lower the hoist cables and attach them to the master links.
3. Raise the scoreboard 1-2' (305-610 mm) from the floor, and level the scoreboard by
adjusting the turnbuckles built into the slings.
4. The hoist installer must set upper and lower primary limits and all safety limits.
Daktronics recommends maintaining a minimum of 2' (610 mm) between the
scoreboard and the nearest obstruction.
WARNING! Never raise or lower the scoreboard with personnel or equipment underneath!
2.11 Suspension System Periodic Inspections
Suspension systems need to be inspected periodically. Listed below are instructions and
information about such inspections.
Static System
A static-hung system should be inspected one year after initial installation and once every
five years thereafter.
 Inspect cable assemblies for broken wires, crushes, or kinks.
 Inspect components, per manufacturer's recommendations, for deformations.
 Inspect the four-sided scoreboard for any loose or missing bolts.
 Inspect the attachment bracket for loose bolts or cracks in members or welds.
 Check torque on all wire rope clips.
Hoist System
Hoist systems must be inspected annually per OSHA requirements. Some local governing
bodies require more frequent inspections. See the hoist manufacturer's manual for inspection
procedures.
 Inspect cable assemblies for broken wires, crushes, or kinks.
 Inspect connections for loose bolts or cracks in members or welds.
Be sure to document all inspections. Any irregularities must be addressed immediately.
For installation problems, call the original installer; for hoist problems, contact the hoist
manufacturer.
