•Installation of an additional bolt into the snap up bracket.
•If your bracket does not already have a hole in this location,
mark the location of the hole to be drilled into the snap up
bracket. Center the hole from left to right and place it 2-
1/4”
above the arc in the bracket. See the picture at left.
•Before the bracket is placed on the frame, drill a 9/16” hole in
the bracket
•Place the bracket in the correct place on the frame as directed in
the product instructions or replace it where it was if it had already
been installed.
•Using the hole in the bracket as a guide, drill a ¼” pilot hole. Be
sure to stay centered in the bracket hole.
• One method to stay centered is to use the 9/16” drill first. Just
put a small dimple into the frame with the 9/16” bit. Then finish
drilling with the ¼” drill bit and then a 7/16” drill bit to get the final
hole. See pilot hole to the left.
•Install the ½” self tapping screw into the hole in the bracket
and frame. Tighten it to 50 ft/lbs.
•Re-tighten the ½” set screw on the inside of the frame. Turn
only ¼ to ½ of a turn after making contact with the frame.
