Lower the mounting leg by rotating the leveling barrel counter-clockwise. Raise the mounting legs by rotating the leveling barrel clockwise. When the desired position is achieved, tighten the mounting screws to the projector and then tighten the hex head leg screws with the M5 Allen wrench. Mounting Hardware Too Long? The depth of some projector mount points may prevent you from tightening the M2.5 and M3 mounting hardware. You can reduce the length of the M2.5 and M3 mounting hardware by stacking up to a maximum of five (5) M3 flat washers inside the leveling barrel. Avoid stacking too many M3 washers; the mounting hardware must thread into the projector mount point at least four (4) complete turns.

27 PDS-PLUS/PDS-PLUS-W Step 4 Identify the projector s approximate front-to-back center of gravity. Place your hands on each side of the projector and gently lift it an inch from the surface on which it is resting. Carefully adjust your grip on the projector until it seems balanced from front-to-back. Mentally note the apparent center of gravity. Identify the projector s approximate side-to-side center of gravity. Place your hands on the front and back of the projector and gently lift it an inch from the surface on which it is resting. Carefully adjust your grip on the projector until it seems balanced from side-to-side. Mentally note the apparent center of gravity. Place the PDS-PLUS/PDS-PLUS-W Projector Plate (if not already attached) on top of the mounting legs with the center of the plate as close as possible to the projector s center of gravity. Side-to-Side Center of Gravity Front-to-Back Center of Gravity Step 5 Position the legs accordingly for best configuration. You may raise or lower each leg independently by turning the leveling barrels. Secure the legs to the projector plate by screwing M6 x 12mm security screws into the M6 square nut (do not overtighten) on the mounting legs. Verify the position of the integrated sliding M6 square nut in the mounting leg relative to a nearby slot on the PDS-PLUS/PDS-PLUS-W Projector Plate. If the M6 square nut is not aligned with any slot, you can use any thin implement, such as a toothpick, to nudge it into alignment. Sliding M6 Square Nut Step 6 Tighten the mounting screws which secure the mounting legs to the projector. Do not overtighten the mounting screws.
