Installation Procedure

1. Select the appropriate size and type of hex wrench or socket for the 24mm head width. 2. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris. 3. Insert the cap screw, engaging the threads smoothly and hand-tightening initially to prevent cross-threading. 4. Tighten the cap screw to the recommended torque specification using calibrated torque wrench for optimal clamping force and joint integrity.
