Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified assembly technician or maintenance professional familiar with threaded insert fastening systems. Ensure the receiving hole is properly sized and deburred before setting the insert. Apply steady, controlled torque during manual installation to avoid cross-threading or over-driving the insert. Follow the insert manufacturer's specifications for hole preparation and installation torque where applicable.
