Precautions during Stainless Steel Fastener Installation

Improper operation may lead to deadlock of Nuts and Bolts. The steps below should be applied to stainless steel nut 
and bolt assembly to reduce this risk.

General installation instructions:

(1) Apply force to fasteners in the direction of thread 
(2) Apply force uniformly, to maintain the required torque 
(3) Professional tools and tool belts are recommended 
(4) In some cases, fasteners could be seized over time. As an option, if want to avoid galling or seizing of thread, apply 
lubricant (grease or 40# engine oil) to fasteners prior to tightening.
