The scoreboard should be positioned so that the greatest number of
spectators can easily view it. Also, consider the best orientation of the
scoreboard should the system be used to score a daytime or afternoon
game. The scoreboard should be positioned so that sunlight does not glare
o its face.
In the U.S., placement on the South or West side of the eld is
recommended. Consult with the local building or zoning department
before nal determination and installing the scoreboard.
DETERMINING LOCATION & ORIENTATION

INSTALLING MOUNTING POLES OR I-BEAMS
The following information for installing the mounting poles/
beams are suggestions only. Local codes, eld placement,
scoreboard options, customer preference, and other special
considerations will determine the specics of your installation,
including footer specications, above ground height, and total
length of the poles/I-beams.
Consult with local building ocials for the required pole sizes
and footer construction regarding this installation. A local
architect, structural engineer, or sign installer may also be a
source of assistance.
1 /
Install the two (2) mounting poles/I-beams (supplied by the
customer) on the eld with a recommended column spacing of
4-8’ apart and with a recommended 14’-6” of pole/I-beam above
ground (refer to the gures below).
Remember: Keep boom and lines away from power lines to
avoid shock or electrical burn
2 /
The poles / I-beams must be set into concrete footers. Make sure
the poles are level and plumb and spaced on recommended 4’
centers. The mounting faces of poles/I-beams must be straight
with each other.
NOTE: IF THE POLES/I-BEAMS ARE NOT IN ALIGNMENT — SHIMS MAY
BE NEEDED TO MOUNT THE SCOREBOARD PROPERLY. MOUNTING THE
SCOREBOARD WITH THE POLES/I-BEAMS OUT OF ALIGNMENT MAY
DAMAGE THE SCOREBOARD AND VOID THE WARRANTY.

If you plan to re-use old columns to install your scoreboard,
please take measurements of your columns and call technical
