Troubleshooting
Grating still feels loose after installing bolt and bar.
Ensure the bolts are fully tightened into the bars. Check that the bars are correctly seated within the channel slots and not obstructed. Verify that you are using the correct bolt and bar set for the Lite Aqua system.
Bolts are difficult to screw in.
Check for any debris or obstruction in the threaded bar or bolt hole. Ensure the bar and bolt are properly aligned before attempting to screw. Make sure the correct size bolt is being used for the bar.
