WALL MOUNT BACKGROUND SUPPORT ASSEMBLY |
|
| STEP 1: Mount the Bracket Hooks |
Carefully
mark off your wall to locate the bracket hook mounting holes. The bracket
hooks should be mounted a minimum of 6" off of the ceiling.
The bracket mounting hole spacing should be 126" + or - 1"
As the weight supported buy this system is heavy, it is recommended to either BOLT into framing or fasten into a Solid wall structure like concrete block. |
When
attempting to mount on drywall or wallboard, please contact a hardware vendor
and or licensed contractor to procure appropriate fasteners for very heavy
loads.Here a licensed contractor is shown lag bolting the bracket to framing studs. |
| STEP 2: Join the horizontal poles |
Align
the holes in the pole junction as shown and use an Allen wrench to tighten
the internal clamp as shown. |

| STEP 3: Assemble the ends into the poles and mount poles |
There
are 2 different plastic ends that fit into the poles and then fit into the
bracket hooks. Shown here is the chain drive end. Insert the white plastic
expansion clamp into the pole end as shown and tighten the clamp by turning
the knob.
|
Do not over tighten this knob as position adjustment will be performed later. |

This
is the friction adjust end. The poles can be installed with either end right
or left.
Once both ends are installed on the pole the background paper or fabric can be installed by sliding the tube or fabric over the "friction adjust" end shown here. After the paper is on the pole, the pole is lifted into position and inserted in the hooks on the brackets.
This operation requires 2 persons, and is nearly impossible for an individual to accomplish.
The horizontal alignment of the pole will now be adjusted and while holding the pole with one hand, tighten the knob until the ends are locked onto the pole.
|
| STEP 4: Adjust friction. |
Tighten
the wing screw on the friction control to add resistance to the rotation of
the roll.
Do not tighten to lock the rotation. Do not loosen to allow free rotation. |
| STEP 5: Install wedges |
Insert
a plastic wedge into the space between the paper center tube and the pole on
both ends of the roll. Push in wedge until firm. These wedges are required to
lock the paper to the pole and to prevent "paper roll off".
2 wedges per roll are provided and you can insert 1 on each end of the roll if preferred. |
| STEP 6: Install Chain |
Insert
the plastic chain through the sprocket end and adjust the length of the
chain, as desired, by removing and adding links.
Note the horizontal orientation of the gates around the sprocket. There are 2 mounting options for the pole end fitting into the bracket hook. Select the mounting option that positions the gate around the sprocket horizontally.
|
| STEP 7: Install chain weights |
Add
the chain weights as shown to the hanging end of the chain.
At this time you will want to re-adjust the friction control to provide a smooth rolling action
