Instructions
Take (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 the 1000 mm Ethernet cable that previously was used to connect the and the RPU and route it through part . Since the Ethernet cable connector won't be able to fit through the port cutout after installation on the actuator.
Take part and align the 4 inner holes with the threaded holes on the actuator.
Take 4 of and tighten them lightly into the 4 holes on part to align it with the actuator.
After the parts are aligned:
- remove 4 of one at a time 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 600 mm double-ended XT30 (2+2) cable should be routed through the neck to the inner hollow of the body. The 200 mm double-ended XT30 (2+2) 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 of 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 6 of one at a time in a star formation,
- apply threadlocker,
- then tighten them back to secure Part and part .
