UNIT MAINTENANCE

NOTE

Before using the installation tool, inspect the condition of the jackscrew

threads before use. If the tool has been used previously, the jackscrew

threads may require a few drops of a light machine oil. If this is the initial

use of the tool, no additional lubrication will be required.

To install a threaded insert, thread the threaded insert fastener (4) onto the threaded end (5) of the

installation tool (1) included with the mounting kit. Be sure that the end of the installation tool is tight

against the head of the fastener.

With the threaded insert (4) installed on the installation tool (1), insert the threaded insert into the hole (6)

on the panel (7).

Insert the hex wrench (2) into the socket (8) at the top of the installation tool (1). Insert the jaws of the

adjustable or fixed wrench (3) on the flat-sided center section (9) of the installation tool (1).

While holding the hex wrench (2) stationary and the installation tool (1) at a right angle to the panel (7),

turn the wrench (3) in a clockwise direction keeping track of the number of turns.

Turn the wrench (3) in a clockwise direction until firm resistance indicates that the fastener completely set,

but no more than the maximum number of turns indicated below.

Once the threaded insert is completely set, turn the wrench (3) in a counter-clockwise direction to break

its grip with the threaded insert. Remove both wrenches (2,3) from the installation tool (1).

Remove the threaded insert installation tool (1) from the threaded insert by turning the entire tool by hand

in a counter-clockwise direction.
