Access Fit/Series M Projection Screen by Draper
Caution
1 Read instructions through completely before proceeding.
2 Follow instructions carefully. Installation contrary to instructions
invalidates warranty.
3 Entire bottom of screen case should be unobstructed to permit access
to bottom panel for servicing.
4 Screen should be installed level (using a carpenter’s level).
5 Nothing should be fastened to screen dowel or viewing surface.
NOTE: Screen has been thoroughly inspected and tested at factory and
found to be operating properly prior to shipment.
Hanging Screen
When locating viewing surface and checking clearance for screen operation,
remember surface is centered in the length of the case. Regardless of
mounting method used, the following points apply:
1 Mounting brackets are shipped attached to the case. Engage each bracket
with top of housing as shown below and tighten set screws.
2 Screen should be positively and securely supported so that vibration or
even abusive pulling on viewing surface will not weaken installation.
Please Note: A Hoisting Bracket is included on each end of the case to
aid in overhead installation of the Access Fit case.
3 Installer must insure that fasteners used are of adequate strength and
suitable for the mounting surface chosen. Supporting hardware (chains,
cables, 3/8" rods, etc.) must be essentially vertical.

To remove the Access Panel:
1 Remove screws from both ends of screen housing (Fig. 2).
2 Pull down on the access panel until the ball detents on the engagement
bracket have disengaged from the support bracket.
3 Repeat Step 2 for all brackets along the length of the screen housing.
4 The access panel will be free to pivot downward. It will remain attached to
the lower inside edge of the screen housing by several steel hinges.
Caution: For larger sizes Step 5 requires two people to perform safely.

4 Entire bottom of case must be readily accessible after installation
is complete.
5 Front, back and top of case must be straight—not forced to warp or bow.
6 If case is painted on location, removal of roller/fabric assembly is recommended prior to painting. If not removed, slot on bottom of case should be shielded to protect viewing surface from paint splatters and
overspray.
Bottom Access Panel Installation/Removal
Bottom access panel is secured to the screen housing by two screws (one on
each end), and is held in the closed position by engagement brackets with ball
detents that snap into case support brackets.

Spring Roller/Fabric Installation
The bottom access panel must be removed first.
The spear end mounting bracket has rectangular openings for accepting roller
spear. Back out the four set screws in bracket until they are flush with top side
of bracket.
To engage the spear end bracket flange above the two channels in the top of
the screen housing, rotate the bracket approximately 45° counterclockwise
to allow the top surface of the motor bracket to rest flat against the top
inside of the housing. Rotating the bracket clockwise until it is engaged with
the channels, slide it along the length of the housing toward the left end of
housing, leaving approximately 3/4" clearance between bracket and endcap.
Tighten the four set screws on the bracket flange using 1/8" hex key.
Engage the idler end bracket (nylon bushing) in the same manner as the
spear end bracket and slide it toward the opposite end of the screen housing.
Do not tighten the set screws on this bracket until the roller/fabric assembly is
installed.
Locate the roller/fabric assembly and remove the retaining clip and flat washer
from the idler end pin, and remove retaining clip from the spear. Remove
brackets from roller.
NOTE: This may require two people to perform safely. Raise the roller/
fabric assembly up into the screen housing and engage the spear of the roller
completely into the spear mounting bracket.
If roller is 13/4" diameter, there will be an arrow imprinted on the spring end
of the roller. This arrow must be pointing UP, and you must use the slot
closest to the edge of the bracket.

If roller is 21/4" or 3" diameter, there will be a notch cut out on the spring
end of the roller. This notch must be pointing DOWN, and you must use the
appropriate slot.
Install the retaining clip on the spear, locking spear and bracket together.
While supporting the idler end of the roller, slide the idler end mounting
bracket toward the roller. Insert the roller pin into the nylon bushing on the
idler end mounting bracket.
The roller idler pin needs to go through the idler bracket far enough to allow
the washer and retaining clip to be reinstalled on the pin. Failure to replace
the washer and retaining clip as shown could result in the separation of the
roller from the brackets.
Securely tighten the four set screws on the idler end mounting bracket.
Reinstall the bottom access panel as previously described.
