NOTICE:
To prevent seizing of the stainless steel
hardware, do not use high-speed installation tools.
Wetting the screws or applying an anti-seize may help
prevent seizing.
g. Use four Hex Head Cap Screws (Item #14) and four
Nylock Nuts (Item #16) to secure the Top Plate to the
Base Extrusion. Install the Screws using only the four
corner mounting holes, with two Screws on each side
of the Base Extrusion. The center mounting holes
will not be used. The Screws should pass from the
bottom up, through the Top Plate and into the Base
Extrusion. Place a Nylock Nut on the end of each
Screw and tighten with a 7/16” Box End or Open End
Wrench. Make sure all hardware is secure.
