Installing the Mantis Deck Clip System involves a few easy to follow steps. Simply slide the Mantis Clip into the deckboard groove and fasten to the joint by using "THE ELIMINATOR" Fastening Tool. 

Mantis Clip Instructions
	Starter Clip Line up the back (vertical leg) of the Starter Clip in position for the first deck board. Fasten this clip to the joist with screws supplied. Slide deck board groove into the Starter Clip tab. Mantis Clip Slide the Mantis Clip into the deck board groove and fasten to the joist using the screws supplied. Repeat this step until the last deck board is slide into the Mantis Clip.
	Finishing Clip Trim the last deck board to fit, either flush with the outside edge of the rim joist or with an overhang. The Finishing Clip can be installed 1 of 2 ways. 1. Deck boards that are flush to the outside edge of the rim joist. Remove the deck board and install the leg (with one hole) of the Finishing Clip to the underside of the board, aligning the deck board edge with the inside of the Finishing Clip leg with 2 holes. (this will ensure a tight fit into the tab of the Mantis Clip) Fasten the Finishing Clip to the joist with the screws supplied. 2. Deck boards that overhang the rim joist. Leave the last deck board in place and fasten the Finishing Clip (leg with 1 hole) into the underside of the deck board, leaving the clip slightly away from the rim joist so when the leg with 2 holes is fastened to the rim joist it pulls the deck board tight into the Mantis Clip.
