Product Description:
The Yard Master Manual is a non-electric outdoor projector screen for wall and patio installations
that brings media room quality to your outdoor spaces. Its sleek aluminum casing beautifully
accessorizes your backyard, patio, pool deck or anywhere a gathering for evening movie time is
appropriate.
Outdoor Projection Screen Disclaimer
Never leave your projection screen out and exposed to direct sunlight. Regardless of screen brand,
prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation degrades the chemical bonds causing the
material to eventually decompose. Photodegradation first causes the material to lose its theater-
grade reflective qualities. Eventually nature will completely destroy even synthetic materials. For
this reason, the Yard Master Manual has a retractable design that allows the material to be drawn
up into its protective casing to be shielded from solar radiation.
Care & Use Instructions

Note: Wall screws included with this product are complimentary and may not be adequate for all mounting
surfaces. Consult with a professional installer or hardware store for proper mounting screws and anchors.
Regardless of the mounting method, the screen should be securely supported so that the vibration or pulling

Screen Operation
1. Pull the screen down from the lanyard or from the handle only
at a 90-degree angle. The screen is designed to stop at any
location. To achieve this, make sure to pull straight down and
allowing the screen to comeup to lock into place. Do not attempt
to pull the screen down by the surface or touch the screen, as
it will damage the screen and void the warranty.
DO NOT try to pull the screen beyond the STOP label
position, as this may cause the screen material to come off the
roller.
2. To retract the screen, simply pull the screen down more than 2 inches and retract the screen back releasing
it up gently. The screen is equipped with a SLOW RETRACT MECHANISM which allows the screen to
slowly retract without the need to hold on to the handle or lanyard. Simply release the handle and the screen
will retract by itself into the housing.
Note: If the screen does not unlock, carefullypull the screen straight down with a little force. Always pull the
screen down at a 90-degree angle.
ATTENTION: Always retract the screen when it is no longer used, to avoid the screen material from
deforming.

2. Mark the drill-hole area of where the screw is to be installed, then retract the screen.
