Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free of debris. 2. Carefully align the polycarbonate sheet with the designated mounting points, utilizing appropriate fasteners (e.g., button head cap screws with washers). 3. Tighten fasteners incrementally and evenly, avoiding over-tightening which can cause stress cracking. Do not drill holes smaller than the fastener diameter.
