Installation Procedure

1. Select the appropriate torque wrench and socket for the M10 hex head. 2. Clean the mating threads of both the fastener and the receiving component to ensure a smooth engagement. 3. Insert the cap screw and thread it by hand for at least two full turns to prevent cross-threading, then tighten to the specified torque value.
