Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preparing the Banner Bar
Step 2: Attaching LoopLine™ or Steel Cable
- Measure and Cut: Based on the weight of the sign and the environment in which the sign will be hung, measure and cut LoopLine™ or galvanized uncoated steel cable to the desired length for hanging.
- Attach to Banner Bar: Connect one end of the LoopLine™ to the Hanger Clip on top of the rail. If using steel cable, create an adjustable connecting loop using the UrbanTrapeze and attach to the Hanger Clip.
Step 3: Securing to Ceiling Clips
- Attach Ceiling Clips: Secure the ceiling clips to the ceiling at the desired location. Base your Ceiling Clip decision on the type of ceiling you are attaching.
- Hang the Display: Using an installation pole, ladder or scissor lift, attach the free end of LoopLine™ or galvanized uncoated steel cable to the ceiling clips.
- When using LoopLine and a ClikMagnet, you may need to attach the line to the Hanger Clip first and then to the ClikMagnet.
- When using Steel Cable, use the UrbanTrapeze to create a second adjustable connecting loop for the ceiling clip.
- Adjust Height: Ensure the display is at the desired height and use a level to make sure it is even.
Tips and Considerations
- Double-Check Measurements: Always measure twice before cutting LoopLine™ or steel cable to ensure accuracy.
- Ensure Stability: For heavier materials, use steel cables for added security.
- Level Your Display: Use a level to make sure your display hangs straight and evenly.
