Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your bolt has a clean, compatible M10 thread pitch. Thread the nut onto the bolt until the nylon or locking mechanism engages. For care, keep the nuts in a dry environment before use to maintain the integrity of the zinc coating. If the nuts are exposed to heavy moisture after installation, consider applying a light coat of machine oil or silicone spray to extend the life of the zinc plating. Never force the nut onto a bolt with a different diameter or thread pitch, as this will destroy the locking threads.
