1. Partially thread the setscrew into the clamp by hand.
2. Determine how to position the clamp. When attaching to machine-folded seams
(regardless of panel profile and geometry), S-5!® clamps are designed to engage
the seam as shown in Illustration A on the front page; with setscrew opposite
seam fold. On many snap-together type seams, the setscrew is on the open (or
overlap) side of the seam. On some seams, this aspect of clamp orientation is not
critical.
3. Tighten the setscrew using a screw gun* and the included screw gun bit tip.
The setscrew will dimple the seam material but will not penetrate it. When
relying on published load values, setscrew tension should be verified
periodically using a calibrated torque wrench as indicated below to ensure
the tool is consistently achieving the proper torque range. Note: See "Step
3 Note" at bottom of document on fitting S-5-U Mini and S-5-V Mini on
certain vertical double-folds.

Step 3 Note: When installing S-5-U, S-5-V, S-5-U Mini, or S-5-V Mini on
a vertical double fold, you may need to lift clamp in a manner that
allows the lip of the clamp to engage the bottom of the seam and the
setscrew(s) to fully engage the fold while tightening the setscrew(s).
See clamp lip engagement in figure below. This will assist in making
the clamp sit more vertically on the seam.
