Frequently Asked Questions - Scenic Roller 40305 DA-LITE

How do I install the Da-Lite Scenic Roller 40305?

Prepare mounting points (hooks/chains) before opening the box. Lift the roller by its ends, avoid touching the fabric. Attach clamps to the reinforcement tape on the header, then hang the screen at 3, 5, or 7 points. Ensure pulleys at header ends are vertical when hung.

How do I adjust the screen to prevent sag?

Lower the screen fully, then adjust the turnbuckles at the eye bolts until the fabric hangs flat. Also check that the header tube dimensions (2-1/4" and 3-3/4") are set correctly and clamps do not push into the fabric.

What are the rope turn requirements?

The factory sets 2-1/2 turns of rope around each end of the roller. Do not change this number to ensure proper operation. Also ensure ropes at the bottom roller ends do not overlap before lowering the screen.

How do I control the total screen drop?

Use the rope clamp to adjust the maximum drop. Do not adjust for more drop than the screen allows. Tie off the ropes to keep the screen in a raised position.

What maintenance does the screen require?

Lower gently, never let it drop uncontrolled. Before raising, check for insects or foreign matter on both sides and in the space between fabric and roller. Avoid bumping with ladders or scenery.

What does the one-year warranty cover?

Da-Lite warrants the screen to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for one year from purchase by the original owner, provided it is operated per instructions. It covers repair or replacement at Da-Lite's option. Misuse, abuse, or unauthorized repairs void the warranty.

Can I mount the screen against a wall?

Do not mount the screen against walls that might rub the fabric. Ensure adequate clearance to avoid fabric damage.

How should I tighten the clamp bolts?

Tighten the nuts only finger-tight. Ensure the clamps do not push into the fabric pocket. Over-tightening may damage the screen.

What do I do if the fabric sags in the middle?

With the screen fully unrolled, adjust the turnbuckles at the eye bolts until the fabric is flat. Also verify the header tube settings and clamp positions.

Is the screen designed for professional or home use?

The Scenic Roller 40305 is a versatile manual pull-down screen suitable for both professional presentation environments and home theaters, offering reliable performance with proper installation and care.

Pre-Installation Installation

Having decided on hooks, chains, cables or other mounting method, have mounting prepared before opening box. Do not mount screen against walls that might rub fabric.

1. Remove screen from box by lifting roller at the ends. Be careful not to permit Id or any tools to fall on screen. During installation handle unit only by ends of roller and top header. Do not grasp around fabric — do not rest unit on fabric.
2. Remove wrapping paper and unwind ropes.
3. With the screen lying on the floor, install the clamps on the reinforcement tape on the header as shown in Figure 2. Clamp assembly is shown in Figure 1. Drop the closed loop of the turnbuckle in the slot of the clamp before inserting bolt. Each clamp uses three bolts and nuts. Do not tighten nuts any more than finger light. Make sure the ends of clamps do not push into the fabric. Pulleys at each end of header must be in the vertical position, when hung for proper operation.
4. Adjust top header in fabric pocket to the 2-1/4" and 3-3/4" position shown on the drawing.
5. Hang the screen in place at three, five, or seven points.

CAUTION! When this screen is shipped from the factory, there are 2-1/2 turns of rope around each end of the roller. Make certain that this is left unchanged to insure good operation.

CAUTION! Before dropping fabric make certain ropes at end of bottom roller do not overlap. Overlapping of ropes will cause rope to work inward and thus damage the fabric.

Screen Adjustment

1. Lower screen slowly by gradually releasing ropes.
2. With screen in the 'Down' position, turn the header in the fabric pocket carefully to adjust the pulleys to a vertical end position. Check the 2-1/4" and 3-3/4" end tube dimensions. Adjust the clamps on the reinforcement, tape. Clamps are not to push into fabric pocket. Tighten nuts on all bolts.
3. Total screen drop may be controlled by adjusting rope clamp. Do not adjust for more drop.
4. With unit in completely unrolled position, examine the screen carefully. If slight sag appears in center of fabric, adjust turnbuckles at the eye bolts until fabric hangs flat.

5. Screen may be raised by pulling on ropes. Tie off ropes to keep screen in raised position.

6. Protect your screen against damage and it will give many years of enjoyment.

a. When lowering screen, do so gently. Never allow it to drop uncontrolled.
b. Before raising screen, be sure both front and back sides are free from insects or any foreign matter.
c. Form the habit of looking in space between fabric and roller for foreign matter before raising screen.
d. Caution stage hands and others to avoid bumping screen with ladders, scenery, etc.
