HARDWARE INFO

READ BEFORE INSTALL

Let’s get this out of the way first! Your Adjustable Console System uses Rivet Nuts & Jack Nuts for installation, this hardware will require the use of a Rivet Nut Tool. Whether you purchased our Manual RivNut Tool (shown below), or if you have a dedicated Rivet Nut Setter Tool which is recommended for best results, be sure to verify and use the drill bit sizes listed below to install the hardware.

HOW IT WORKS

Both types of hardware have the same function in crushing down from the backside surface of the desired mounting location creating a crimped hardware fixture in the panel.

Thread a Jack Nut or Rivet Nut on the RivNut tool and push into the drilled hole on the console, if using the

TRAIL ICON RivNut tool, use a 5mm Hex key Tool, or you can use a the drill mounted 5mm hex bit.

Be sure to keep the Jack Nut and tool pressed against the console while tightening the Jack Nuts, tighten the nut until it has a solid resistance, be sure not to over tighten them. Repeat on all 4 hole locations.
