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.

Step 3: Install the Neck Yaw Actuator - Instruction 1

Take part and align the 4 inner holes with the threaded holes on the actuator.

Step 3: Install the Neck Yaw Actuator - Instruction 2

Take 4 - M3x12 Flat bolts and tighten it lightly into the 4 holes on part to align it with the actuator.

Step 3: Install the Neck Yaw Actuator - Instruction 3

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.

Step 3: Install the Neck Yaw Actuator - Instruction 5

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 .

Step 3: Install the Neck Yaw Actuator - Instruction 6

Take 6 - M4x12 Flat bolts and lightly tighten into each of the holes on part to align Part with the neck portion of part .

Step 3: Install the Neck Yaw Actuator - Instruction 7

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 .
