Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free from debris. 2. Hand-thread the screw initially to prevent cross-threading. 3. Tighten using an appropriate wrench or socket, applying gradual torque until the desired clamping force is achieved. Avoid over-tightening to prevent stripping the polycarbonate threads.
