2. Washer and Nut
- Place the washer over the bolt and then secure loosely with the M8 nut provided.
3. Sign Positioning
-
Measure your signs placement and check level
- Using the 13mm spanner or socket, tighten the nut until it is nipped tight.
- Repeat steps 1-3 with all remaning sign channels on the sign blank
4. Final Adjustment
-
Step back to ensure the sign is straight and properly aligned.

Anti-rotational clips are ideal for high-traffic areas or locations prone to wind.
For bulk installation projects, consider using power tools with torque control for consistent results.
