gas tank area should be installed from the underside of the vehicle, to guard
against the gas tank being punctured in the event of a collision. This would
mean not using Blind Fastener in this area. Holes drilled in this area should be
3/8".
Ladders must be secured per ANSI standard A14.2-1990 paragraph 8.4.4.
Ladder damage will occur from road shock and vehicle vibration if the ladder

Using a damaged ladder could lead to a structural collapse and could result in
serious injury or death.

BLIND FASTENER INSTALLATION
Place a drop of oil on black oxide bolt for lubrication before assembling.
Place the Blind Fastener in the hole and use 1/2" or 7/16" wrench to
tighten black oxide bolt until fastener is fully seated (it will start out hard
and get easier as fastener “bulbs” out).
Make sure the Blind Fastener and Installation Tool do not turn during
installation.
ALUMINUM TRUCK BED INSTALLATION
Coat drilled holes with Zinc Rich Primer. Insert Blind Fastener through one
1/2" x 1" plastic washer. Insert Blind Fastener into drilled hole. Place
second 1/2" x 1" plastic washer through the bottom of the Blind Fastener.
Continue following installation instructions above to install Blind Fasteners.
