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.
