- If you have installed the optional LGA2, its RTG BOOM will be installed at the support marked 2 on the SPUN BUS. Otherwise, either boom may be installed first.
- Bend tab A, at the end of an RTG BOOM, down about 20 degrees. Apply glue to tab A.
- Position
tab A near the end of support 2 on the SPUN BUS, underneath the support's outboard end. Align the RTG BOOM straight out from the center of the SPUN BUS (although it angles downward somewhat), and squeeze tab A to the support to glue it in position.
- The black arm on the bottom of the RTG BOOM will now swing into contact with the bottom of the SPUN BUS. Adjust so it touches the bottom corner of two bays on the SPUN BUS. Trim off the end of this arm where it reaches the SPUN BUS. Caution: trim it a little too long to start with, then shorten again if necessary. Glue the tip of the black arm to the SPUN BUS.
- Repeat this process to attach the other RTG BOOM.
