6. Slide the tool’s red plunger up, then down quickly and with enough force to push the actuator
mounting pin into position. It takes considerable force to ensure the pin slides past the mounting
bracket’s spring-loaded detent pin.
7. Repeat step 5 for the other pin. The correctly mounted actuator is shown in Figure 24.

8. Rotate the TAA-101 or TAA-101S unit with the antenna attached so that the antenna is straight up.

10. Retract the actuator to the stowed position.
