Insert Installation
6)
Place the tool (insert first) into the pole mount hole.
7)
Using the small pipe, gently tap the bushing into place so it fits snug. The
bushing only needs to be partially installed (as a guide) since it will be removed
shortly. Remove the pipe.
Tapping bushing into place with pipe
8)
Attach drill or similar device to insert tool and drive insert into position
clockwise. Insert will stop against shoulder when at correct installed depth.
NOTE:
DO NOT drive the insert in fast! Doing so will damage the plastic
hole and decrease the effectiveness of the repair. Drive the insert in
relatively slowly while applying downward pressure. You will feel the new
threaded insert (self-tapping) catch, start cutting and then bottom out once
the shoulder contacts the bottom of the hole. Once you feel this, STOP! DO
NOT force the insert past this bottoming out point or you will strip out the
new threads.
