Task Instructions
1. Thread activation cable end loop through the cone and insert the loop into the slot on the end of the actuator. Put a drop of LOCTITE Blue 242 threadlocker on the threads of 10-24 stainless steel screw. Install screw through the unthreaded end of the actuator first, with exterior tooth star washer into hole and through loop in cable. The torque value for this screw is 1.8 lb-ft.

2. Ensure that the screw is tightened with a torque of 1.8 lb-ft, through the unthreaded side before completing this step. Assure screw is through the activation cable loop by checking security with a VERY light finger-tip pull (<1/2 pound force) on cable before reinstalling cone.

Warning:
Pulling too hard can cause the extraction rocket to fire.
Grasp the launch tube cone, secure it with (2) two screws, 10-24 x 3/8” PH, with a drop of LOCTITE Blue 242 threadlocker. A torque value of 1.5 lb-ft should be used to tighten this screw. Ensure mating threads are clean, free of debris and not cross threaded.

4. Insert non-threaded plug into access hole to protect it from the elements.
