All standard Showmaster Staging units have 4' x 8' (122 x 244 cm) surfaces and

are available in two standard height ranges:

• 30” - 56" (76.2 - 142 cm)

• 48” - 88" (122 - 244 cm).

The legs have screw-type foot pads for leveling the stage and fine-tuning the height.

For stage elevations above 56" (142 cm), leg stabilizers must be added.

The following page shows some common stage set sizes that can be constructed

using standard 4' x 8' (122 x 244 cm) units.

For efficient storing, moving, and unloading of the staging sections,

heavy-duty move-and-store carts are available.

Adjustable height stairway units with integral double handrails are available that adapt to

standard stage heights:

• an 8 step stairway accommodates stage elevations between 32” to 64" (81to 163 cm)

• a 12 step stairway accommodates stage elevations between 48” to 96” (206 to 244 cm).

Easily-attached back and side rail assemblies are available in lengths of 4' and 8' (122 and 244 cm)

and should be used with all stage elevations.

These rail units are 40" (102 cm) high and have an integral chair stop.

Drapery skirting (to hide the underside of the stage) and drapery backdrops (attach to the back/side

rails) are also available from Wenger. A special Drapery cart simplifies moving and storing the skirting.

The stairways, rails and skirting attach conveniently to special channels along the sides of the staging.

TYPICAL STAGE LAYOUTS

6

TOOLS REQUIRED

• Carpenter's level

• 9/16" wrench (to attaches back/side rails).

SETUP

There are two types of Showmaster stage units:

4-leg and 2-leg.

The first stage unit to be set up must be a 4-leg unit,

which then serves as a base for the entire stage system.

Two basic arrangements can be followed, depending

on the placement of the remaining units in the first row:

• When the units in the first row are place end-to-end

(Arrangement X), all of them must be 4-leg units;

• When the units in the first row are placed

side-to-side (Arrangement Y), only the first is

a 4-leg unit and the others are 2-leg units.

All other units in the system will have two legs.

The units lock in sequence to adjoining units with

special unit-to-unit connectors for a strong, unified

stage system.

First Unit (4-Leg)

1. Bring the staging (still loaded on the car)

from the storage area.

Be sure the stage sections are secured

on the cart while moving.

2. Release the locking bar on the cart,

and place the bar in its storage position.

3. Keep the stage units on the cart (standing on edge)

for now. Check that the first stage unit is a

4-leg unit, and that it has three unit-to-unit

connectors installed.

If the connectors have not been

attached, insert them inside the top

edge of the stage unit's frame rail as shown.

Make sure the tab of the center lever is inside

the frame rail, then lock the connector to the rail

by moving the handle of the center level parallel

to the bottom of the unit (as shown).

SETTING UP THE STAGE UNITS

Setup requires two people to avoid injury. Individualunits can weigh up to 250 lbs (113 kg).

! CAUTION

7

4. Release the leg-locking clamp on one leg of this outside unit,

and rotate the leg into its setup position.

In the same way, open the other three legs

on the first stage unit.

5. Lift the leg height lock pin handle on the first leg,

and rotate it to unlock the pin.

Pull the leg extension out, and when the leg is

extended nearly to the desired height position,

start rotating the lock handle back toward its

locked position. Continue to pull the leg extension

until the lock pin snaps into the next hole,

then rotate the handle against the leg body.

Adjust the other leg extensions in the same way.

Note that the lock-pin holes are color-coded in the

following sequence: red; uncolored; green; red; uncolored.

6. The first stage unit is ready to set up when all its legs

are opened to the setup position and are adjusted to the

proper height.

With one person at each end of the cart, grasp the

stage unit with one hand to balance it on the cart.

With the other hand, release the spring-loaded

retaining lock that secures it to the next unit.

SETTING UP THE STAGE UNITS (CONTINUED)

Make sure the leg brace isrotated all the way and islocked by the leg bracelocking mechanism.

! CAUTION

8

7. Rotate the unit off the cart and set it upright on its legs.

NOTE: If a forklift is being used, have the forklift

operator raise the cart to the desired height,

then carefully allow the legs of the stage unit

to rotate to the floor.

8. Make sure the unit-to-unit connectors are positioned in the

directions you want to build the stage (Arrangement X or Y):

· • Units marked "A" require three unit-to-unit connectors.

· • Units marked "B" require two connectors.

· • Units marked "C" require one connector.

· • Unit "D" does not need a connector.

9. Turn the threaded foot on each leg for a fine adjustment to level the unit.

Use a carpenter's level to be sure the unit is level.


Arrangement X

Arrangement Y

9

Remaining 4-Leg Units

10. If you are setting up according to Arrangement X,

repeat steps 6-9 for the next 4-leg staging unit.

Lock the legs and level the unit.

11. Set the end of the second unit into the

L-brackets of the unit-to-unit connector(s)

on the end of the first unit.

12. Push the stage units together, and lock them by pulling down

on the two locking handles of each unit-to-unit connector.

13. Repeat Step 10 - 12 for all remaining 4-leg units.

2-Leg Units

Complete the stage set by installing the 2-leg units

in the same way that you attached any additional

4-leg units (above).


Stage sections can move ifconnector handles are notlocked (down).

! CAUTION

10

If the stage height is above 56" (142 cm), attach leg stabilizers:

1. Hold one of the stabilizer tubes next to

the stage legs, and determine whether to

use the inside or outside holes

(near the ends of the tubes).

Whenever possible use the outside holes for greater stability.

2. Place the tubes on the floor, and attach the

four clamps and lock handles loosely in the

holes you selected. All clamps must be on

the same side of the tubes.

3. Install the stabilizer tubes on the stage legs

in an "X" pattern by slipping the clamps around

the legs as shown and tightening the lock handles.

4. For a typical stage system, install additional stabilizers

in 8' (2.44 m) square patterns around the perimeter

of the stage, leaving an average spacing of

8' (2.44 m) between stabilizer sets.

On stage systems that are 32' (9.75 m)

or more in both dimensions, install additional

stabilizer sets (using the same 8' [2.44 m] -

square pattern) in the middle of the system.

The distance between stabilizer sets should

average 8' (2.44 m), and should never exceed

16' (4.88 m).

ATTACHING LEG STABILIZERS (IF NEEDED)

11

NOTE: Adjusting variable-height stairways and attaching them to the stage is easier

using two people.

Install the stairway attachment bracket:

1. Once the stage is set up to its desired size and elevation,

Slip the attachment bracket onto the edge of the stage deck

where the stairway is to be installed.

2. Rotate the bracket into position by pressing downward on the cradle

area.

3. Adjust the stairway to its proper height:

a. With one hand, grasp the top step of

the stairway and push it upward with

light pressure.

b. With your other hand, push the height

adjustment latch up to release, and then

rotate the height adjustment bar upward

to its unlocked position.

INSTALLING THE STAIRWAY(S)

Stairway is unsafe if theattachment bracket latchesare not engaged.

! CAUTION

12

Install the stairway onto the attachment bracket:

1. To prevent the stairway from articulating while you are positioning

it (which could injure your hands), tighten the adjustment knobs

that are along the rails of the stairway.

There are either one or two knobs on each side,

depending on the stairway height.

NOTE: The following step requires two to four people.

2. Lift the stairway into position, so that the top step rests in the

cradle area of the attachment bracket.

NOTE: The following step may require two people.

3. Loosen the adjustment knobs (see step 1 above),

and rotate the steps to their fully horizontal position.

You may have to slightly realign the stairway to the deck.

Retighten the adjustment knobs.

4. Recheck that the bracket latches (hooks) under the

stage deck are still properly engaged.

INSTALLING THE STAIRWAY(S) (CONTINUED)

Some of the following stepsrequire more than oneperson.

! CAUTIONTo avoid injury, keep handsclear from between stepstringers.

! CAUTION

13

Install the handrails:

1. Pull the pins from the handrail post sockets.

IMPORTANT: In the following step, be sure the

railing is inside of the upright posts.

2. Insert the upright posts of the handrails into the sockets.

3. Align the holes in the posts and sockets, and reinsert the pins.

INSTALLING THE STAIRWAY(S) (CONTINUED)

Stairway is unsafe if thehandrail pins are not installed.

! CAUTION

14

To attach a back or side rail:

1. Be sure all stage sections have been secured with the

unit-to-unit connectors.

2. Remove the first back/side rail from its storage cart.

Position it at the desired location, and hold it at a 45° angle,

resting the locator pin into the lower lip of the frame rail channel.

3. Rotate the rail to its vertical position.

4. With a 9/16" wrench, turn the two bolts so the propeller

engages between the top and bottom lips of the

frame rail channel.

Tighten until the rail is secured.

5. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 for all remaining back/side rails.

INSTALLING BACK AND SIDE RAILS

Rails should be used at allpositions along the back andboth sides of the stage,except those occupied bystairways.

! CAUTION

15

Draperies are used to close off the lower portion of the stage, for better appearance.

They can be attached to the stage even where back/side rails have been installed.

1. Grasp the drapery bar on the first drapery section,

and remove it from the cart.

INSTALLING DRAPERY ENCLOSURES

16

2. Slide the upper tabs of the brackets on the drapery bar behind the

upper channel on the stage unit frame.

3. Rotate the bottom of the drapery bar towards the

stage unit.

4. Lower the drapery bar so that the lower tabs on the brackets catch

behind the lower channel on the unit frame.

5. The back side of the drapery enclosures is marked to match the

possible heights of the stage elevation.

Fold the drapery up to the desired line that matches your stage height:

the Velcro fasteners will hold the folded drapery at any desired height.

6. Repeat steps 1 - 5 for all remaining drapery enclosures.

INSTALLING DRAPERY ENCLOSURES (CONTINUED)

17

The drapery backdrop is 8' (2.44 m) high. The backdrop hardware consists

of two upright posts that attach to the uprights of a back/side rail, and a

crosstube to which the drapery is attached. Crosstubes are available

in 4' (1.22 m) and 8' (2.44 m) lengths to match the rail sizes.

1. Be sure the back/side rails are securely clamped to the stage before

you attach the backdrop hardware.

2. Slip a backdrop upright onto each upright of a rail as shown,

and secure each with two snapper pins.

3. Insert a crosstube into the top of the two backdrop uprights.

4. Attach a backdrop drapery to the crosstube

(both have a surface with a Velcro strip).

5. Repeat steps 1 - 4 for all remaining backdrops.

The drapery sections will overlap.

INSTALLING A BACKDROP

18

1. Remove the backdrop (if used):

a. "Peel" the drapery away from the crossbar.

b. Fold the drapery carefully to minimize wrinkling in storage.

A large clothes hamper is convenient for storing the drapery.

c. To remove the hardware, reverse the setup procedure (page 17).

2. Remove the drapery enclosures, if used, by reversing the installation procedure on page 15.

The enclosures can be conveniently stored on a Wenger Drapery Storage Cart

then retighten the knobs. Use the handles provided, and keep your hands clear of the

space between the step stringers.

c. Lift the stairway up and away from the attachment bracket.

d. Lift the cradle area of the attachment bracket, and rotate the bracket up and away

from the platform deck.

5. Remove the leg stabilizers (if used), by reversing the installation procedure on page 10.

NOTE: In the following step, remove the stage units in reverse order of setup (see page 6, so they

can be loaded onto the carts in the correct order for quick setup the next time the stage is

assembled.

6. Disassemble the stage sections, leaving the unit-to-unit connectors attached.

Install the stage units on move-and-store carts (see page 19).

DISASSEMBLING THE STAGE

Do not stack the stackingmodel carts more than threehigh.

! CAUTION

19

Showmaster storage carts can store and transport up to nine staging sections.

They are available in two models:

• Move-and-Store Cart

With an integral castered base for facilities that don't have access

to a forklift.

• Stacking Move-and-Store Cart

Which can be stacked up to three-high for compact storage,

and which allow a forklift operator to transport the cart between

the storage and staging areas.

A separate castered base is also available.

LOADING THE STORAGE CARTS

Never use a castered cart on aramp.

! CAUTION

Unsafe if more than one cart isstacked on a castered base.

! CAUTION

On stacking model, use lockingbar if moving or storing.

! CAUTION

20

1. Before loading, determine which are the

4-leg unit(s) - they will be set up first,

so they should be loaded in the outside

position(s) on the cart, after the 2-leg

units are loaded.

2. Check whether the unit-to-unit connectors

were left attached to each unit when the

stage was last disassembled.

3. Load the two-leg units first and then the four-leg

unit(s) - so that the four-leg units can be unloaded first.

Place the first two-leg unit onto the storage cart

within the guides provided, then secure it in place

by rotating the cart's first-unit lock lever 90°.

NOTE: The first-unit lock is designed to secure

decks that are either 1/2" (1.27 cm) or 3/4" (1.9 cm) thick.

Refer to the inset drawing:

install the spacer for 1/2" (1.27 cm) decks,

remove it for 3/4" (1.9 cm).

LOADING THE STORAGE CARTS (CONTINUED)

At least two people arerequired for loading the stageunits onto the carts and settingup a Showmaster stage. Weight of individual stageunits varies according to legheight and top surface, buttypically is between 150 lbs (68 kg) and 250 lbs (113 kg).

! CAUTION

21

4. Load the remaining stage units onto the cart

in the same manner. Keep the ends of the

stage units aligned, and secure each additional

unit to the previous one by using the spring-loaded

retaining lock (pull out, rotate 90°, and release).

Continue until the truck is full

(nine stage units) or until all units are

loaded.

5. On a stacking model that will be moved by forklift,

secure the full set of units using the locking bar.

Do not move the cart unless the units are locked.

LOADING THE STORAGE CARTS (CONTINUED)

Be sure the first-unit locklever is in the locked positionbefore you continue.

! CAUTION

22

STAGE SURFACE

Clean and protect the hardboard surfaces of the Showmaster stage units

as you would any normal flooring.

DRAPERY ENCLOSURES AND BACKDROPS

Drapery sections may be washed or dry-cleaned.

The drapery enclosures are attached to their support bars with Velcro strips,

so they can be easily separated for cleaning.

·Machine-wash at 120° F (48° C) or lower using mild detergent.

Remove immediately after the wash cycle is completed.

Tumble-dry at "permanent-press" or lower temperature.

Remove and hang immediately to prevent wrinkling.

Excessive heat or drying time will detract from the permanent-press characteristics

of the fabric.

Little or no ironing is required.

When dry-cleaning, tumble-dry on the lowest heat cycle and remove immediately when dry.

OTHER PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Inspect all bolts on the stage and accessories every six months, and tighten as necessary.
