Tapping

Clamp the frame end-to-end in a vise with the servo mounting holes at the top.
Insert the actuator frame tapping fixture 6PV (TL-AFTF6PV) into the frame.
Tap the four servo mounting holes using a 6-32 cutting tap (not a forming tap).
Thoroughly clean the frame to remove cutting oil and chips.

Attaching the Servo

Attach the frame to the servo according to the actuator model.

Adjusting the Tabs

Adjust the bend corners near the bearing tabs as needed to achieve a snug fit to a 1.125" × 1/2" parallel.

Open the tabs if necessary
- Press the corners slightly toward the top of the frame so the tabs fit loosely on the parallel.
Close the tabs to size
- Press the frame sides together to the predetermined vise-handle position.
  Find the correct vise-handle position by trial and error.
  - Gradually increase the amount of closure in small increments
  - Test the fit with the parallel after each adjustment.

-# Tapping the Frame Servo Mounting Holes:
+# Clamp the frame end-to-end in a vise with the servo mounting holes at the top.
-#: Clamp the frame end-to-end into a vice with the bottom facing up.
+# Insert the actuator frame tapping fixture 6PV ('''TL-AFTF6PV''') into the frame.
-#: Place the appropriate tool on the bottom of the frame.
+# Tap the four servo mounting holes using a '''6-32 cutting tap''' (not a forming tap).
-#: Use a power drill and a 6-32 tap to tap the four frame servo mounting holes.
+# Thoroughly clean the frame to remove cutting oil and chips.
-#: Ensure that all metal shavings are thoroughly cleaned from the frame before proceeding.
-# Attaching the Frame to the Servo:
+== Attaching the Servo ==
-#: Securely attach the frame to the servo as per the assembly guidelines.
+Attach the frame to the servo according to the actuator model.
-# Bending the Frame Tabs:
-#: Pinch the corners of the frame tabs to open them up to just wider than 1.125 inches using the specified setup.
+== Adjusting the Tabs ==
-#: The position of the handle used to open the tabs should be consistent for uniformity.
+Adjust the bend corners near the bearing tabs as needed to achieve a snug fit to a 1.125" × 1/2" parallel.
-#: Use a vice to carefully squeeze the tabs closed until they fit snugly.
+# Open the tabs if necessary
+#* Press the corners slightly toward the top of the frame so the tabs fit loosely on the parallel.
+# Close the tabs to size
+#* Press the frame sides together to the predetermined vise-handle position.
+#*: Find the correct vise-handle position by trial and error.
+#*:* Gradually increase the amount of closure in small increments
+#*:* Test the fit with the parallel after each adjustment.
