on the surface of the installed APU.

Place the APU cooler on the APU.

Hook the APU cooler clip to the mounting lug
on one side of the retention frame. On the other
side,push straight down on the the APU cooler
clip to hook it to the mounting lug on the reten-
tion frame.
Step 4:
Turn the cam handle from the left side to the
right side (as the picture above shows) to lock
into place. (Refer to your APU cooler installation
manual for instructions on installing the cooler.)
Step 5:
Finally, attach the power connector of the APU cooler to the APU fan
