TM 10-1670-287-23&P 0014 00 0014 00-43 INSTALLING THE AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION DEVICE Install the automatic opening device as follows: 1.    Install the Automatic Ripcord Release (AR2) as follows: WARNING When attaching the power cable assembly to the AR2, always verify proper engagement of ball end of power cable with piston rod of AR2 by looking through transparent plastic cable seal retainer.   Cable seal retainer and power cable seal must be present to ensure correct seating of power cable ball.  If ball is not engaged with piston rod or if cable seal retainer is missing, actuation of AR2 will fail to pull ripcord pins, which may result in death of parachutist. CAUTION Finger tighten the power-housing retainer.  Do not use pliers or other tools that will over tighten power-housing retainer. CAUTION It is recommended that the AR2 NOT be transported to and from the drop zone while installed in the container.  Failure to comply with this procedure may cause damage to equipment. NOTE Make sure the AR2 is cocked, and the JUMP/OFF switch is set to OFF. NOTE Prior to installing the AR2 in the ripcord release pocket, remove the storage cable and piston rod cap, if present.  Save these components for future use.
