Instructions

Position Sub Assembly D in a straight manner such that we can see its neck, as now we will be working on installing the head portion.

Step 9: Install the Neck Pitch Actuator and Head Base - Instruction 1

Take part and align the 5 holes on it with the neck actuator shaft.

Step 9: Install the Neck Pitch Actuator and Head Base - Instruction 2

Take 5 - M3x12 flat bolts and lightly tighten it into the 5 holes on part

Step 9: Install the Neck Pitch Actuator and Head Base - Instruction 3

After the parts are aligned:

  • remove each of the 5 – M3x12 flat bolts in a star formation,
  • apply threadlocker,
  • then tighten them back to secure Part and the actuator together.

Take actuator EC-A4310-P2-36 (ID 25) and slot it through the arch of part
