before tightening bolts.
Use a measuring tape to assure
proper location.
CAUTION – Protrusion Hazard
Once the assembly is tightened, watch for exposed threads.
If a thread protrudes from the T-Nut, remove
the bolt and add washers to eliminate this condition.
Extra washers have been provided for this purpose.
Proper Hardware Assembly
Lag screws require drilling pilot
holes to avoid splitting wood. Only
a flat washer is required. For ease of
installation liquid soap can be used
on all lag-type screws.
For bolts, tap T-Nut into hole with
hammer. Insert the hex bolt through
lock washer first then flat washer then
hole. Because the assemblies need to
be squared do not completely tighten
until instructed. Pay close attention to
diameter of the bolts. 5/16" (8mm) is slightly
larger than 1/4" (6.4mm).
Note: Wafer head bolts with blue lock
tight or a bolt with a Ny-Lok nut do
NOT require a lock washer.
