To Install the S-5-T Mini, S-5-Z Mini,

S-5-Q Mini, and S-5-H Mini

1. Partially thread the provided round-point setscrew into the clamp by hand.

2. Position clamp at desired location along seam.

3. For S-5-T Mini, S-5-Z Mini, and S-5-Q Mini (illustrated in 2A): Install by

holding the clamp insert piece under the edge of the seam, then roll the

clamp into position over the seam and the insert.

For S-5-H Mini (illustrated in 2B): Install by positioning clamp at desired

location on seam. Then slide insert into place.

4. Tighten the setscrew at the base of the clamp using a screw gun* and the

included screw gun bit tip. The setscrew will dimple the seam but will not

penetrate it. When relying upon tested load values, setscrew tension

should be veriﬁed throughout the installation using a calibrated torque

wrench as indicated below to ensure the tool is consistently achieving

proper torque range.

5. For critical attachment applications utilizing an M8-1.25 X 16 mm hex

ﬂange bolt, tighten the included M8 bolt to 160 inch pounds (13 foot

pounds).
