Installation Tips

1. Preparation: Ensure the installation surface is sturdy and capable of supporting the load. For wooden posts, pre-drill a pilot hole to prevent splitting.
2. Pilot Hole: Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the screw diameter (approximately 8mm) to ensure a tight fit.
3. Insertion: Insert the eye screw into the pilot hole and use a suitable tool to turn it clockwise until the collar is flush with the surface.
4. Tightening: Ensure the eye screw is fully seated and secure. Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the material.
5. Maintenance: Regularly check the eye screws for signs of wear or loosening, especially in high-stress applications. Tighten or replace as necessary to maintain safety and performance.
