Installing Threaded Inserts in Non-potted Areas (Edge Members, etc.)

CAUTION

Always apply anti-sieze lubricant to bolt and screw threads before

installation to prevent galling.

During the installation of threaded inserts, the threads inside the

threaded insert can sometimes be damaged by the installation tool, and

may result in the the bolts and screws binding. If this occurs, run a 5/16-

18 UNF tap (included with the adapter kit) into the threaded area. This

will clear and straighten the threads, making for easier and faster

assembly. Care should be taken using this method since the tap has the

ability to remove and/or cross thread existing threads. Be sure to work

slowly and deliberately when clearing the threads.

Install the threaded insert using the appropriate hand operated threaded insert installation tool (1), hex

(allen) wrench (2) (included with installation tool), and 3/4 inch (or 1-1/16 inch depending on header tool

used) wrench (3) (adjustable, fixed, or box end ratchet type).
