11) Assemble Cartridges
Remove one end of each Alignment Cable from the TMA and set aside to clear the top side of
each bay. Using a forklift and sling, place Cartridge B in position and secure it using the flat
washers, lock washers and nuts provided. Torque the nuts to 120±7 N-m (90±5 ft-lb /
1080±30 in-lb). Repeat procedure for Cartridge A (See Figure 17).
12) Assemble the Top Release Cables across the Arm Assemblies
Verify that the Support Frame is extended as far as it will go. Assemble the Bottom Release
Cable across Arm Assemblies (See Figure 16). Torque the nuts to 34±3 N-m (25±2 ft–lb /
300±24 in-lb) making sure that roughly an equal amount of threads protrude from nuts on both
ends of cable. Lock cable in place using remaining fasteners as “jam” nuts.
