Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Overtightening the nuts, which can deform the nylon and compromise its structural integrity.Use a torque wrench to tighten nuts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification, ensuring a snug but not excessive fit.
Using standard metal washers that can cause galvanic corrosion or damage the nylon.Always use nylon or other non-conductive washers designed for use with nylon hardware to prevent damage and ensure electrical isolation.
