Installation Procedure

1. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free from debris or damage. 2. Apply a suitable thread lubricant or anti-seize compound if recommended for the application. 3. Engage the screw by hand for at least two full turns to prevent cross-threading. 4. Tighten the screw to the specified torque using a calibrated torque wrench. Avoid over-tightening.
