| 1 | |
| M3x12 flat bolts | 4 |
| M4x12 flat bolts | 6 |

Instructions
Take actuator EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 24) and lay it flat on a surface such that the actuator shaft is facing toward the ceiling, the port is at the bottom.
Take part and align the 4 inner holes with the threaded holes on the actuator.
Take 4 - M3x12 Flat bolts and tighten it lightly into the 4 holes on part to align it with the actuator.
After the parts are aligned:
- remove each of the 4 – M3x12 flat bolts in a star formation,
- apply threadlocker,
- then tighten them back to secure Part and the actuator together.
Connect one connector of the 200 mm double-ended XT30 (2+2) cable to the specified neck yaw actuator port, then route the cable through the cutout in part . Leave the free connector accessible for the neck pitch actuator.
Connect one connector of the 600 mm double-ended XT30 (2+2) cable to the other neck yaw actuator port and leave the free connector accessible for the RPU connection.
Take the actuator and part and align it with the neck on part . The double-ended XT30 (2+2) - 600mm cable should be routed through the neck to the inner hollow of the body. The double-ended XT30 (2+2) - 200 cable should be routed through part and face forward toward the chest of part . Then, carefully lower down the actuator into the neck hole of part .
Take 6 - M4x12 Flat bolts and lightly tighten into each of the holes on part to align Part with the neck portion of part .
After the parts are aligned:
- remove each of the 6 – M4x12 flat bolts in a star formation,
- apply threadlocker,
- then tighten them back to secure Part and part .
