Rotate one quarter turn clock-wise, perpendicular, and release pressure on the nut.The Nut will lock in-place, its pyramid grip enhanced grooves aligning with the underside of the channel's in-turned edges; the spring being designed to hold the nut in place during assembly.Fitting, bracket, or accessory, is located on the channel face over the Channel Nut with spring.An appropriate diameter and length of bolt is inserted, and the fitting is adjusted for location at this time.Properly torquing the bolt draws the Channel Nut with spring up against the in-turned channel lips, forming a strong, secure clamping connection.Use caution not to bottom the bolt (select one of sufficient length, but not so long as to contact the inside back). Do not over torque the bolt.1234
