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. » TOP AND BOTTOM RAILS ARE DIFFERENT LENGTHS, TO ACCOMMODATE THE INSTALLATION OF CROSSOVER POST APPLICATIONS. » ALL ROD RAILS OVER 6' WILL REQUIRE THE USE OF A FOOT BLOCK, THUS THESE RAILING SPANS MUST BE INSTALLED OVER THE DECKING FRAME OR ON INSIDE OF RIM JOIST.
