3 Mechanical Installation
All decisions regarding display setup must conform to the specications and guidelines
in this section. Read both the mechanical and electrical installation sections before
beginning any installation procedures.
Reference Drawings:
Mechanical Spec; ST-3170 .............................................................................. DWG-4909964
The tabletop should be upright only during games and events, and it should be in the
dropped position when moving and storing the table. The tabletop capacity is rated at a
maximum of 150 lb (68 kg).
Depending on the length of the power cords, the table(s) should be within 25' (7.6 m), 50'
(15.2 m), or 75' (22.9 m) of a power outlet.
Caster Base Tool
Each table comes with one Caster Base Tool (Daktronics part # HS-4939703) located in
the bottom channel of each caster base (two per table). Refer to Figure 16. These tools
serve a dual purpose of helping to pull down the caster base pivot arms when setting up
the table as well as setting the display face to the desired angle. The tools are attached
to the caster base by a steel lanyard to prevent being lost or stolen.

Adjust Tabletop Level
The tabletop supports are turnbuckle style connecting rods that will allow for ne tuning
of the tabletop to be level across its width and in relation to the oor. Refer to Figure 30.
• To raise the tabletop, rotate the turnbuckles counterclockwise by hand until the
desired height is achieved. Maximum adjustment is 16" pin to pin, or +1" from factory.
• To lower the tabletop, rotate the turnbuckles clockwise by hand until the desired
height is achieved.
Verify that all turnbuckles are the same overall length from pin to pin by measuring with a
tape measure. This ensures proper tabletop operation when raising/lowering.
