Detailed instructions for installation of AR2 power cable assembly into parachute system are
given in TM10-1670-287-23&P or service specific parachute packing manuals.
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.

will overtighten power housing retainer and possibly damage retainer.
