Caution
Stainless steel hardware can seize up, a process
called galling. To sig nifi cant ly reduce the like li hood
of galling, apply a small drop of anti-seize lubricant
to the threads of all bolts before installation.
Anti-seize lubricants are readily available in auto
parts and hardware stores. In their absence, any
lubricant will reduce chances of galling.
Note: Parts are illustrated in exploded views (pp. 2–4).
