Thank you for purchasing the Impact Background Suppor t System. We
designed this background support system from 16-gauge aluminum tubing to
be strong but lightweight. It will support seamless paper rolls up to 11´ in
length or 12´-wide sheets of muslin. The four cross-bar sections can be
combined into 6´, 9´, or 12´ lengths. Two air-cushioned support stands have
three positive-locking knobs and are adjustable from 39˝ to 10.5´. The stand
tops are equipped with 3/8˝ spigots, which can be removed for the 1/4˝-20
and 5/8˝ studs underneath. Non-skid suppor t feet give your backdrop added
stability. The heavy-duty canvas carry bag has a separate sleeve for each
piece, cutting down on the noisy clanking that occurs with simpler kits.

We trust that our background support system will serve your creative
inspirations reliably for years to come. Please read these instructions
carefully on how to set up this equipment.

The basic Impact Background Suppor t System contains the following:

• Two support stands • Four cross-bar sections

• Canvas carry bag • User manual

If you purchased this background support system as a k it , you may also have a clo th
background, seamless backdrop paper, clamps, sandbags , or ot her accessories . To see
