Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Inadequate surface preparation leading to uneven load bearing.Thoroughly inspect and prepare the mounting surface for flatness, cleanliness, and structural integrity before installation.
Over-tightening fasteners, causing localized stress concentrations.Utilize torque-limiting tools to ensure fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended specifications, preventing material fatigue.
