Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris. 2. Thread the M17 x 65mm polycarbonate hex head cap screw into the receiving component by hand for the initial few turns to prevent cross-threading. 3. Tighten to the specified torque using an appropriately sized hex socket wrench, taking care not to overtighten and exceed the material's load limits.
