Installation Procedure

1. Select the appropriate mating component with an M5 tapped hole or nut. 2. Hand-thread the screw into the receiving component to confirm alignment and prevent cross-threading. 3. Utilize a hex driver of the appropriate size (typically 8mm for an 11mm head width) to tighten the screw to the desired torque specification, avoiding overtightening.
