Tips and Tricks
Before you get started, here are some general tips and tricks to help you out along the way.
You’ll notice that throughout your guide are small “TIP”
reminders, as indicated by the symbol in figure 1.1, with a
number that corresponds with one of our key tips listed here!
1. Snug, not stuck!
When tightening /securing a screw or bolt onto the extrusion, firm will do.
It may be tempting to keep tightening until the screw will no longer turn, but that will cause
damage to the extrusion. Simply secure the screw to the point that the pressure you feel is
firm, and you’ll be good to go.

2. Bracket ribs
Pay attention to the directions of the brackets; one side will have small ribs.
The rib side will always face the extrusion when assembling so that the ribs can help square
the bracket to the extrusion.
Tip #1: DON’T OVER TIGHTEN
1) Don’t over tighten 2) Just make it firm 3) Overtightening will damage extrusion
Tip #2: BRACKET RIBS
1) The alignment ribs
2) Always place ribs in
alignmnet with extrusion
3) This makes for a clean fit
when the bracket is screwed on
