	To configure the float system for automatic deployment, first ensure that both cyclic and reservoir tank safety pins are removed. The automatic deployment systems uses an electric motor powered by the #2 primary bus that physically pulls the activation cable. Automatic deployment is triggered by sensors on the bottom of the aircraft near the rear strut cross beam.
