●Pre-load clips with HULK screw.
●AttachsubsequentboardstojoistswithHulkHiddenClips.
●Tightenclip,donotovertightenasthismaydeformtheclip.(Impactdriverdrillrecommended)
●Movethenextproleintopositionandtapintoplacewitharubbermallet,thensucientlytightenclips.
●Continue to next board.
●Ifyouarepre-loadingclips,trytohavesomeoneassistyouinplacingtheclipsinpositiononeachboard.
●InstallacliponeveryjoistandfastenwithHULKscrews.Youcannotmissone!
●Pushthenextboardintoplace,donotforceorpushtoohard.Theclipswillkeepagapnaturallyifinstalledcorrectly.
Ifyouovertighten,theclipwilldeformandincreasethegap.
●Wheninstallingwithascrew,don’tovertighteneither.
●Itisalwaysagoodideatouseacordlessdrillwithaclutch.Settheclutchrelativelylighttoensureyoudon’tovertighten.
●Installlast/endprolewithsurfacemountscrewasseenin11.2HULKHiddenClipInstallation.Pleaseremembertoalwayspre-drill
holestoavoidcrackingormushrooming.
●Surfacemountscrewsshouldbenocloserthan1¼”fromtheedgeoftheprole.
●Installasecondsupportjoistasshownbelowforproperattachmentofthehiddenclip.Hiddenclipsshouldbeusedonbuttjoints.
Oncethesupportjoistisinplace,theclipscanbesecurednexttooneanother.
●Don’t install closer than 1½”fromtheedge(cutedge).
●Buttjointsrequiredoublejoistsand2rowsofclips.Leaveaminimumof1¼”betweenbuttjointstoallowfordebristofallthrough.
