Standard setup for sizes between 7" and 24".
For small sizes, place the canvas between
upper and lower end brackets on center bar.
Use the extension bar for sizes between 25" and 36".
For medium sizes, attach the canvas tray to the
upper set of support posts and place the canvas
between the top bracket and the tray. Insert the
lower end of the center bar through the loop on
the back of the tray for greatest stability.
Place the end brackets on the same side of the
pivot head for sizes between 3" and 7".
For large sizes, attach the canvas tray to the
lower set of support posts and place the
canvas between the top bracket and the tray.
For extra large, lightweight display boards,
use the extension bar and slide the center bar
all the way up into the pivot head.

Horizontal Positioning
Vertical Positioning
Note: Remove lower thumbscrew from pivot head to allow the center bar into vertical-most
position, if desired. Be sure upper thumbscrew is tightened firmly before doing so.
For greatest stability:
1. Spread the legs as far apart as possible.
2. If easel is not needed at maximum height, partially retract
all leg sections equally. Don’t leave some sections at full
extension, especially the lowest ones.
3. Make sure all the screws in the pivot head are tightened firmly.
Store thumbscrews, T-bolts, and the extension bar in the outside
pockets of the storage bag to avoid misplacing.
If using a configuration that only requires one end bracket,
use the longest one (10")up top for best results. They are
interchangeable.
