It is a good idea to dry-fit all pieces in this kit before permanently attaching them to ensure proper
orientation and operation before beginning installation for familiarization with components.
•
Always treat any metal exposed during installation with a rust preventative compound to prevent system
failure due to rust and/or corrosion.
•
Always seal any holes drilled with the provided sealing putty to prevent water infiltration through
unprotected areas.
