NOTES:
» Adjust drill power to lowest setting that will drive screw.
DO NOT OVER TORQUE 316 STAINLESS STEEL
STAINLESS FASTENERS.
» NEVER use impact tools on 316 Stainless Steel Fasteners.
» Be careful inserting rods through intermediate vertical supports. Lay pieces on a flat, solid surface and insert as
straight as possible to prevent scratching.
» When marking lines on bottom rail, do not make a mark wider than 1" or it will be visible after installation.
