Installation Procedure

1. Prepare the mounting surface, ensuring it is clean, level, and capable of supporting the sheet's weight and intended load. 2. Accurately measure and mark the desired cut lines on the stainless steel sheet using a scribe or permanent marker. 3. Securely fasten the sheet using appropriate industrial-grade fasteners (e.g., stainless steel bolts, rivets) spaced to ensure structural rigidity and intended safety function.
