4. Reassemble link assembly as follows:
a.
Reassemble the 3-point link assembly (8) by securing the side plates of the link assembly adapter
(10) to the 3-point link assembly and connecting the three 1-inch hexagon jam nuts, the three 1-inch
hexagon cap screws, the two spacers, and the single cam from the two 3-point link assembly side
plates.
b.
Connect the cable-swaging terminal (6) to the latch assembly (7) by installing the straight-headed pin
and the ½-inch (1/2-cm) long cotter pin from top to bottom.
c.
To join the cable assembly (2) to the actuator assembly (1), install the cotter pin and straight pin
securing the cable end clevis to the cable actuator.
CAUTION
The stake assembly-adjusting collar is preset and staked by four
setscrews. The collar position will not be altered at any time or under
any condition.
d.
Using a suitable tool, tighten the locking nut securing the cable assembly (2) housing to the actuator
assembly (1). Ensure that the adjusting collar on the cable assembly is not disturbed during the
cable attaching process.
e.
Install the locking pin securing the housing cover to the actuator assembly and shut the cover.
f.
Using a suitable tool, connect both side plates of the latch connector assembly (9) to the latch by
connecting the 1-inch hexagon jam nut and 1-inch hexagon cap screw from the underside of the
latch assembly.
g.
Attach the 3-point link assembly (8) to the latch assembly (7) by properly seating the cam of the link
within the latch assembly.
h.
Once fully assembled, the following procedures must be accomplished before each use. With the
EFTC mounted (preferably on a platform), proceed as follows:
NOTE
When attaching the latch assembly to the modified extraction lug on the
Type V Platform, the four aluminum latch assembly adapter spacers are
not required. The modified extraction lugs are identified by the
presence of a ½-inch steel strip welded to the lower flat surface of the
extraction lug.
i.
Rotate actuator arm clockwise until spring guide rod is fully extended.
j.
Lock the actuator arm into position with the appropriate quick release pin.
k.
Place a 2-inch straight edge (or equivalent) on the fork end of the spring guide rod.
l.
If spring guide rod shows any bend or curvature against straight edge, remove EFTC from service.
