Installation Guide

Secure the bottom U-channel to the posts
using the supplied #10 x 2-1/2-in. self-drilling
screws, then remove the template.
Note: Using the Surface Mount Bracket
(SMB) requires pre-drilling the bottom
Symmetry bracket holes. Locate brackets
holes using a 1/8-in. bit, then remove the
brackets/bottom U-channel. Predrill a 1/8-
in. hole approximately 2-3/4-in. deep into
the post keeping the same angle as with the
brackets in place. Next countersink the 1/8-
in. holes using a 1/4-in. bit only to a depth
that pierces the steel SMB. This will allow
the screw to clear the steel without damage
to the threads. Re-position the brackets/
bottom U-channel and secure with the
supplied #10 x 2-1/2-in. screws. Do not
over tighten.
Secure crush block holder to U-channel with
two #8 x 1-in. self-drilling flat head screws. Do
not over tighten.
