How to install Da-Lite 226" Replacement Surface

Preparing for installation: ensure you have the correct replacement surface for your frame type (HD Rental for Heavy Duty Deluxe or Da-Mat Non Black-Backed for Truss). Power down any connected equipment and place the frame on a clean, flat surface to prevent fabric damage during handling.

Remove or loosen the existing surface: if replacing an old surface, carefully detach anchor points, hooks, or fasteners while supporting the frame to avoid warping. Use gentle guidance to avoid tearing the fabric or distorting the frame geometry.

Align the new surface: position the 226" replacement surface so the top edge aligns with the top of the frame. Smoothly center the fabric over the frame, ensuring the sides and bottom have equal margins and there are no twists or folds along the frame perimeter.

Secure the surface: attach the surface to the frame using the built-in mounting points, zippers, hooks, or Velcro fasteners as provided with your Da-Lite Fast-Fold system. Begin at the center and work outward, pulling evenly to eliminate wrinkles and create a uniform tension across the screen.

Check tension and finalize: stand the frame upright and inspect the entire surface for any sags or wrinkles. If needed, make minor tension adjustments along the edges to achieve a flat, wrinkle-free projection area. Confirm that the surface remains taut and properly aligned with the frame corners and edges.
