Installation Steps:

- Position the Posts: Place the posts in their desired locations. The maximum recommended span between two structural posts is 5 feet to ensure stability and code compliance.
- Secure the Base: Use appropriate fasteners (included) to firmly attach the base of each post to the mounting surface. A drill and wrench will be required.

- Run Cable Lines: Thread the cable lines through the pre-drilled holes in the posts. Ensure proper tensioning for a secure and aesthetically pleasing railing.
- Attach Handrail (Optional): If using a handrail, secure it to the adjustable top brackets. Muzata offers compatible handrails like HT10 BP4.
- Apply Post Foot Covers: Once the posts are securely mounted, place the foot covers over the base plates for a clean, finished look.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Muzata T304 stainless steel cable railing posts, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the posts periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After cleaning, rinse the posts thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
- Dry Completely: Dry the posts with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain their luster.
- Inspect for Damage: Periodically inspect the posts and cables for any signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.
- Seaside Applications: For installations near coastal areas, increased frequency of cleaning is recommended due to higher salt exposure. Consider using Muzata PD01, PD02, PW01, or PW02 series posts specifically designed for seaside environments if applicable.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues during or after installation, consider the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Loose Posts: Ensure all base fasteners are tightened securely. If posts wobble, check the structural integrity of the mounting surface.
- Cable Sagging: Verify that cable tensioners are properly installed and tightened. Adjust tension as needed to eliminate sag.
- Misaligned Handrail: Utilize the adjustable top brackets to fine-tune the handrail's position and ensure it is level and straight.
- Corrosion/Rust Spots: While T304 stainless steel is highly resistant, surface contaminants can cause minor discoloration. Clean immediately with a stainless steel cleaner and a soft cloth. For severe cases, contact customer support.
- Missing Parts: If any components are missing from your kit, please contact Muzata customer support immediately for assistance.
