3.5 a. After all pressure plates are installed on the frame, torque FS-325 screws to 70 in-lbs. The use of
either a drill motor with a torque limiter or torque wrench can be used. If using a cordless drill, check
torque periodically since battery usage will affect the torque setting.

hammer. Pin the vertical face covers once per length as required, concealing pin at a horizontal
location.
