Make a paint mark on the head of each bolt.

CAUTION:
If the bolt is overtightened, loosen the bolt completely and then retighten it by repeating the tightening procedure from step 4.
If the bolt is turned less than 90 degrees, proper fastening performance may not be achieved. Be sure to turn the bolt exactly 90 degrees.
