4) Install your shaft kit and snug each set screw so that it will leave a mark in the shafts.

5) Remove shaft and dimple each setscrew mark using a ¼” drill bit. (As shown below.)

6) Re-install the shafts using red loc-tite thread locker on the set screw threads. Tighten each setscrew to 25 ft. lbs. Tighten

all lock nuts securely. We recommend that you Inspect setscrews periodically for tightness.

7) Re-tighten the set screw that was loosened in the rack mounting blocks in step #1.
